Vance Luther Boelter, the man accused of the targeted assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, has claimed that his motive “didn’t involve Trump stuff or pro-life.”
The brazen attack, which also left State Senator John Hoffman and his wife injured in a separate shooting in Champlin, has sent shockwaves through the state and nation, with authorities labeling it a “politically motivated” act of terror.
Speaking to the New York Post from Sherburne County Jail, Boelter said that his motive was not what people have speculated.
“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,” Vance Boelter wrote to The Post.
“I am pro-life personaly [sic] but it wasn’t those,” he said. “I will just say there is a lot of information that will come out in future that people will look at and judge for themselves that goes back 24 months before the 14th. If the gov ever let’s [sic] it get out.”
Boelter was appointed by Walz in 2019 to serve on the Governor’s Workforce Development Board and lead an international security firm.
