Vance Boelter breaks his silence from behind bars - Nothing to do with Trump

Jailed assassin just made a startling revelation that was the last thing Democrats wanted to hear

The Left’s narrative about political violence is starting to crumble

A key player in their story just changed the tune completely. And a jailed assassin tapped for political jobs by a powerful Democrat just made a startling revelation that was the last thing leftists wanted to hear.

Vance Boelter, who was hired by Democrat Tim Walz as well as Boelter's wife working for him in D.C. when he was the V.P candidate, the man accused of murdering Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark in June, just dropped a bombshell that’s shattering the Democrat narrative about political violence.

From his jail cell in Sherburne County, Boelter told reporters that his deadly rampage wasn’t motivated by Donald Trump or abortion – the two reasons Democrats and their media allies have been pushing for weeks.

"You are fishing and I can’t talk about my case…I’ll say it didn’t involve either the Trump stuff or pro-life," Boelter wrote through the jail’s internal messaging system.

For weeks, left-wing politicians and media figures have been using the Minnesota murders to attack Trump supporters and pro-life activists. They’ve painted Boelter as a typical MAGA extremist who was radicalized by conservative rhetoric about abortion.

But Boelter himself is now saying that’s not what happened at all.

Vance Boelter Captured

Minnesota suspected assassin Vance Boelter captured alive after intense manhunt

Suspected political assassin Vance Luther Boelter was captured Sunday following an intense manhunt for the gunman accused of murdering a Minnesota state lawmaker and wounding another, state officials announced.

Boelter, a 57-year-old former appointee by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, was sought by police for allegedly shooting Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, and fatally shooting former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.

“After a two-day manhunt and two sleepless nights, law enforcement have apprehended Vance Boelter,” Walz said during a press briefing.

It was a resident’s trail camera he passed in a rural town that tripped him up, according to the Star Tribune.

“Most of the search had concluded then,” Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher said. “But the trail cam picture alerted SWAT teams to go to the area, search a perimeter and with the help of drones, identify his location.”
