The Confusing Political Affiliation of Vance Boelter
"Let’s start with the facts. Vance Luther Boelter was appointed not once, but twice to Minnesota’s Governor’s Workforce Development Board—first by Democratic Governor Mark Dayton in 2016, then again by current Democratic Governor Tim Walz in 2019. That’s not something that happens to hardcore Republicans in a politically divided state. The board advises on workforce policies, and while it’s not explicitly partisan, appointments are political favors. So, at least on paper, Boelter had Democratic connections."
"But here’s where it gets messy. His longtime friend and roommate, David Carlson,
insists Boelter was a Trump supporter. Carlson knew him since fourth grade and said they didn’t talk politics much lately, but he was clear: Boelter voted for Trump and was a conservative Christian who opposed abortion. That doesn’t exactly scream “Democratic insider.” And then there’s Boelter’s voter registration—records show he was registered as a Republican in the early 2000s. So, was he a Democrat by appointment but a Republican at heart?"
"Then there’s the manifesto. Police found a hit list in Boelter’s abandoned car, naming over 50 Democrats, including Governor Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Senator Tina Smith, plus abortion providers. That screams right-wing extremist. But wait, they also found “No Kings” flyers, tied to anti-Trump protests. Was he planning to attack the protests too? Or was this a bizarre false flag?"
