Vance Boelter, 57, was arrested last night in Minnesota after the largest manhunt in state history was executed following his reported attacks on two Democratic state lawmakers. State Rep. Melissa Hortman and State Sen. John Hoffman were shot by Boelter, who was impersonating a police officer. Their spouses were also hit. Hortman and her husband were killed in the attacks. Inside his fake cop car, police found ‘No Kings’ flyers and notebooks.

"He had many, many notebooks full of plans, lists of names, surveillance..."

NO manifesto was found despite initial reporting by the Star Tribune. What was found was an extensive kill list, with many annotations on how this man surveilled his targets.
NEW: U.S. Attorney's office releases two pages from the "many notebooks" belonging to Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Boelter.

He’s currently facing 2nd-degree murder charges—but those are expected to be upgraded to 1st-degree murder after indictment.
They should hand him over to the feds and throw the book at this monster. pic.twitter.com/J2mulIDDRN
So, is this man a right-winger? Who knows. No doubt the liberal media was salivating at the thought of a manifesto, whose release would’ve been the tell, in my opinion. If it had existed and the authorities refused to release it, that was the clue the liberal narrative was bogus. Boelter does appear to be a registered Republican. Still, his political affiliations might be a hodgepodge of insanity, much like how the media tried to claim that David DePape, the man who hammered Nancy Pelosi’s husband, was a conservative activist. As it turned out, he was a mentally ill loon with no coherent political leanings.
How could the MSM already know that Vance Boelter was a registered Republican in 2022? I have seen proof that he was registered as a Republican In Oklahoma in 2004. But his Minnesota voter registration does not show party affiliation.

Some people are working overtime to paint Vance Boelter as a Democrat.

He wasn’t.
He identified as a Republican—and we should be honest about that.
Our job now is to unequivocally denounce this monster and make clear that political violence has no place in our movement.…
Also, we're not cheering this man in the ways the Left did when Luigi Mangione assassinated a CEO healthcare executive.
