Vance Boelter, accused of murdering Minnesota House Speaker Melissa
Hortman and her husband and injuring State Senator John Hoffman and his
wife, denied political motives in a jailhouse interview, claiming more
details about the events leading up to the heinous shootings will emerge
if Governor Tim Walz allows their release.

Boelter’s cryptic statement will no doubt spark intense speculation
about what information he might be alluding to. Still, one thing is
sure, based on his comments - the assassin has an incredibly tenuous relationship with reality.

As RedState reported last month, Boelter went on a shooting spree on
June 14th, and authorities launched an expansive manhunt to catch him.
He would finally be apprehended later in the weekend.

As is often the case in tragic situations such as this, the media
launched into their theories as to the shooter's motive. Naturally, they
landed on broadly blaming Republicans, with some major outlets pointing
a direct finger at President Donald Trump.

Democrats joined in on the narrative, with Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT)
calling Boelter a "hate-filled right winger," and former New York City
Mayor Bill de Blasio (D-umber than a Stump) telling MSNBC that the
President had "given the permission structure for this reality" of
political violence.

That's right, the guy who stared down multiple assassination attempts
due to unhinged rhetoric from the media and the resistance party is
supposedly the guy who lit the fuse on political violence. *Eyeroll*

Boelter has now spoken to the New York Post from his jail cell, and
insists neither Trump nor his pro-life views had anything to do with the assassinations. And he even hinted that Walz might try to keep details
of his motives under wraps.

“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,” he told the outlet through
the Sherburne County Jail messaging system.

“I am pro-life personaly [sic] but it wasn’t those,” Boelter continued. “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.”

Accused Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter hints at motive during
exclusive jailhouse interview: ‘It didn’t involve… Trump stuff or pro-life

Why would Walz want to keep the assassin's motivations under wraps?

As RedState reported, the media narrative on Trump's rhetoric being a motivating factor shriveled up pretty quickly after a letter written by
Boelter had been recovered from his vehicle, where he made the wild
claim that he had to kill specific individuals - including Sen. Amy
Klobuchar (D-MN) - to clear a path for Walz to run for the United States
Senate himself.

Boelter, it has been reported, was appointed to a government workforce
board by Walz. There is minimal indication that their relationship
extended beyond that fact.

“Certain details of that letter were leaked out that probably painted
one kind of a picture, but a lot more important details that were in
that letter were not leaked out,” Boelter claimed.

It seems relatively clear that the alleged assassin is toying with the
media, seeking attention by hinting at a more nefarious plot behind the
scenes. As RedState's Bonchie wrote regarding the letter, "Boelter is
just an insane person."

That said, Bonchie added:

Walz obviously knew about what was in the letter from day one, given
that it was found almost immediately in the car abandoned by Boelter.
Yet, he and his Democrat colleagues still spent days insinuating the
motive was related to right-wing rhetoric.

You know darn well that if the media and Democrats were able to continue smearing the right as being responsible for these assassinations and
attempted murders, they'd be covering this story 24/7. Instead, you
haven't heard much about Boelter since that letter and his strange hit
list were found.

Boelter went on to claim that his "immune system is failing" because
he's being held in inhumane conditions in jail. He also upped the crazy
by citing a Biblical passage about loving thy neighbors when asked to
remark on his victims.
