A list of other possible targets was retrieved from the suspect’s vehicle, authorities said. The list named Hortman and Hoffman, police noted.
The list included dozens of other Democrats from Minnesota, including Gov. Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Sen. Tina Smith and Attorney General Keith Ellison, according to law enforcement sources familiar with the matter.
Law enforcement officials are looking into whether the suspect may have been motivated by extreme views on abortion, the sources said.
"Speaker Hortman was a leader in every sense of the word -- from ushering in free lunch for our kids, to protecting women’s rights and reproductive care, to standing up for Minnesota families," Martin said in a statement. "Melissa was also a close friend whom I've known since the very start of her political career. She was someone I personally relied on for advice, counsel, and friendship and I am beyond words. As I said many times when I introduced her at events, she is the very best Speaker of the House that Minnesota has ever had."

What accountability should Walz assume, if any, snce he has been using inflammatory language and he personally appointed the suspect to a position of power

You would think the media and the democrats, including those who post here would get tired of being wrong and looking like complete fools. But somehow they don’t

From Crimson in another thread:
When I saw the news, I thought it was a crazed member of a fringe group mostly supporting Trump (these people exist sadly but far less numerous than the MSM spreads). Instead it is yet another Dem embracing violence who undoubtedly is included in half of liberals saying killing Trump is justified. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/a...r-AA1CwZDM

lol ABC News.
But let's assume that half of this is true. The suspect was appointed by -- get this -- Tim Walz himself!
I guess when all you can do is spin, you spin. Right, Marc?

It's Minnesota. Trump will have to bring in a special forces team to find him. Probably in Canada by now.

Quote:Vance Boelter, the suspect in today's shootings, was the CEO of an international NGO called the Red Lion Group. But I couldn't find any photographs or digital records of its work, only a generic website.
The Red Lion Group appears to have run out of funding a month or two ago, as that is when he started looking for executive-level roles.
