How awful is it someone assassinated Democratic leaders... appears to be a left person gone off the edge?

Question

Melissa Hortman was executed in her home along with her husband early in the morning... by someone dressed as a police officer. She had just sided with republicans on a bill ending healthcare for undocumented people. She was the lone democrat siding with republicans.

https://www.minnpost.com/state-government/2025/06/legislature-with-gop-and-4-dfl-votes-ends-minnesotacare-for-undocumented-adults/

Not long after that... she was executed... killed. Can you imagine the mentality to do such a thing? The person had "no kings" flyers in their car and is still running around... creating a risk to others.

It stands to reason, a Left leaning democrat decided to kill her. We will find out soon.

People need to get a grip. If they really want to help undocumented people with healthcare bills, then collect $, do fundraisers, make donations and start an endowmeant. Good grief... it isn't worth executing people.

It isn’t a left person, his roommate even said he was a Trump Supporter.

He would talk about Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Tim Walz all in a negative light according to the roommate. Hell, he even watched Infowars owned by Alex Jones.

We can discuss how political violence in this country plagues both sides and try to lower the temperature, trying to play your side isn’t good. I say look for the investigation’s research after they’ve compiled everything. I said the same about Butler PA and other assassination attempts.

There have been assassination attempts on Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi’s Husband, and Kamala Harris.
I say wait until the investigation is over and say “Political Violence Has No Place In America And Must Be Taken Seriously!”

I don’t care Left or Right, this is a tragedy caused by an asshole same with all the other political assassination attempts in American History and the modern day. This is disgraceful. There are no sides.

Yeah, they keep calling for violence and the only one's listening to them are their own. Salt Lake City Utah now too, shooting at their own and killed a bystander.

It's not going to stop unless the rhetoric stops and the only people that listens to them are their own. The looting and the property crime are just another subset of "peaceful" ends towards what? Making illegals legal or making Texas and California Mexico? I'm watching on the ground interviews and most of the paid protesters don't even have sensible reasons as to why they're there. They're just ramped up on high emotions and a bunch of conspiracy theories.

You'll see more of it, unless the rhetoric stops.

A number of people ran as democrats in the past election who were never listed as democrats before and switched back after the election (which should in any sane usa have them removed). Trump himself switches with what his whims are. Don't let party title fool you.

(Gasp) a Republican did it lol. Can't wait to hear all the ways they pretend he's a Democrat. They can't go the immigrant route so the desperation is in overdrive.

Indeed, and so far no suggestion of early warning signs of mental illness. Apparently his most recent endeavor for earning a living was “security”. There’s some speculation that he may have used his business as a front to buy the vehicles and gear necessary to pose as a LEO.
It’s a fairly elaborate plan, if that’s the case. But he had to have a screw loose if he thought he could get through such a long list without drawing suspicion early on. I’m just wondering if he operated alone or if he was working with someone or for someone else. Walz has been tied to this case and to funding for riots and civil unrest coming from foreign governments.
Coincidence?
In all honesty, we’ll probably never know. We still know basically squat about the people who tried to kill Drumpf. I’d never even heard of the victims in this case before. Why would we get full disclosure now?

OneViewpoint · Answer

Well it didn't take long for the Reich Wing propaganda mill to create some "alternate facts" and project their own MAGA crimes onto the people they killed.

Yeah, the left is murdering the left. That makes sense. Much simpler explanation than some brain damaged anti abortion MAGA freak filth going psycho with a gun. AGAIN!

@lightbulb27, no freak show. Your MAGA filth is just being MAGA filth again. That's the simple truth.

The killer was right wing extremist and had a list of about 70 names who were all Democrats and pretty much all associated with legal abortions. The killers close friend also said that he was conservative with strong beliefs against abortion.

Are you trying to spread misinformation or are you just bad at reading news?

goaded · Answer

You keep claiming "conflicting info", but there's not. There's information and there's propaganda. This nonsense is the propaganda.

A friend of the killer who's known him for decades says he was "a conservative who voted for President Donald Trump and was strongly against abortion rights". He had been a registered Republican, he was never a registered Democrat.

Orion84 · Answer

Are you referring to Vance Boelter?

Based in the information I've seen, his most recent part affiliation was Republican, and he reportedly voted for Trump in the last election. He was also an evangelical Christian.

Doesn't sound very left wing to me, but if you can provide conflicting sources, I'd be interested in reading them. I've read a number of different sources supporting my information, but this is most comprehensive read through I've seen:

Friendlybro79 · Answer

Firstly... As far as we know right now, he is a conservative evangelical Christian. Secondly you should probably update and acknowledge this.

Can you acknowledge this please? It's getting scary how many people just blame the libs for things before uncovering anything because they can't fathom bad guys on their side. I'm not suggesting that's you but there are many people like this on all political sides.

We all need to recognize the radicals on each side of the political aisle and be against violence of all sorts. This is sad. Let's disagree and debate but not kill each other over it.

Lliam · Answer

It turns out that Dems/libs are behind a lot of politically motivated crimes.  Many Dems/libs are off the rails and violent even though they love to point fingers at conservatives and especially MAGA.

Well, she supported killing babies in the womb.  I guess it isn't fun when someone murders you, nevertheless the killer must be put to death as well.

sawno · Answer

Doesn't really matter if its left wing, right wing or an accelerationist its always awful. I don't care if the politician is someone from a different ideology this shit shouldn't happen.

exitseven · Answer

The fake news and Tim Walz are trying hard to make it look like this guy was a Trump supporter and now we found out that Tampon Tim was the one that re-appointed him to a state job they are trying to make the story disappear.

Doesn't matter what politics the assassin has, he's a deranged animal and deserves whatever punishment he gets.

This is sad no matter your political affiliation!

Anonymous · Answer

the violence is never good. But neither side is innocent in this. Listen to the lefties on here so mad, saying this guy "was a Trump supporter". But ignoring all the blood on the hands of the anti-Trumpers, like it's only or mainly Trump supporters who are guilty of violence. That is far far from the truth.
