Investigators are probing a violent attack in Minnesota where Vance Boelter targeted two lawmakers and their spouses, killing one and critically injuring others. Boelter allegedly sent a letter to the FBI claiming that Governor Tim Walz hired him as a hitman to assassinate U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar. The attacker reportedly posed as a police officer during the shootings, and a hit list found in Boelter’s vehicle included Klobuchar’s name. While conspiracy theories suggest Walz wanted Klobuchar’s Senate seat, the governor denied any involvement, stating that Boelter’s appointment to a state board was merely procedural. Hennepin County officials confirmed there is no evidence supporting the allegations against Walz.

Governor Walz, a strong critic of former President Trump, has recently adopted a confrontational tone in his political speeches, calling Trump a “wannabe dictator” and urging Democrats to take a more assertive stance. His comments comparing ICE agents to Nazi Gestapo soldiers have drawn sharp criticism, with immigration officials linking such rhetoric to increased assaults on officers. Despite the controversy surrounding Walz and the ongoing investigation into the Minnesota shootings, authorities maintain that there is no proof linking the governor to the attack or assassination claims, emphasizing the importance of focusing on verified facts during this tense political climate.
