Questions and misinformation have spread on social media and other platforms about the political views of the man suspected of assassinating Minnesota House DFL leader Melissa Hortman, and any connections that alleged gunman had to Gov.

The man accused of shooting Democratic state lawmakers in Minnesota on Saturday while impersonating a police officer worked for a security company that advertised a fleet of “police type vehicles,” and other equipment that could potentially have aided him in appearing to be law enforcement.

Vance Luther Boelter was identified as the prime person of interest in the 'politically motivated assassination' and assassination attempt of Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses. He is said to be an avid Trump supporter despite being a former Tim Walz appointee.
