A chilling letter from a convicted murderer accuses Minnesota Governor Tim Walz of ordering an assassination. Is this a deranged fantasy or a dark conspiracy? Vance Boelter’s claims have sparked outrage, but his bloody past tells a grim story.
Boelter’s Murderous Rampage
Vance Boelter, 57, was convicted for a June 14, 2025, shooting spree targeting Minnesota lawmakers. Disguised as a police officer, he killed State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in Brooklyn Park. He also wounded State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in Champlin. Boelter visited two other lawmakers’ homes, but police thwarted further attacks. A 43-hour manhunt, the largest in state history, ended with his arrest on June 15 near his Green Isle farm.
Conviction and Charges
Boelter faced swift justice. On June 16, 2025, he was charged in federal court with six counts, including stalking and murder, facing a possible death penalty. Hennepin County added first-degree murder charges, carrying life without parole. Boelter was convicted on federal charges for the Hortmans’ murders and Hoffman shootings, based on overwhelming evidence: firearms, a hit list of 45 Democrats, and his own confession in a letter. State convictions followed, ensuring life imprisonment. His motive remains unclear, though anti-abortion views surfaced.
The Letter’s Conspiracy Claim
Found in Boelter’s abandoned Buick, a handwritten letter to FBI Director Kash Patel accused Walz of ordering Senator Amy Klobuchar’s assassination to secure a Senate seat. Described as “rambling” and “incoherent,” it claimed Boelter had secret military training. No evidence supports these claims, and Walz’s team denies any connection beyond Boelter’s 2019 Workforce Development Board appointment. Authorities dismissed the letter as delusional, but its secrecy fans conservative suspicions.
Conservative Fury vs. Reality
X posts, like one from @bennyjohnson, amplify the letter, hinting at a cover-up. Conservatives demand its release, arguing Walz’s silence looks guilty. Yet, Boelter’s history—prepper, failed security firm owner, and evangelical zealot—screams instability. His hit list targeted Walz’s allies, not rivals, debunking the letter’s logic. Fact-checkers like PolitiFact find no proof against Walz after claims of posts being deleted, but distrust fuels the conspiracy fire.
Conclusion
Boelter’s June 2025 convictions for murdering the Hortmans and shooting the Hoffmans are airtight, rooted in hard evidence. His letter accusing Walz lacks credibility, dismissed as a lunatic’s rant. Still, its secrecy keeps the conspiracy alive.
Why not release it to squash the rumors?
