A violent left-wing extremist targeted Minnesota lawmakers in a brutal overnight attack. Vance Boelter, a 57-year-old radical activist, murdered Democratic State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband while they slept in their beds. He then attacked another Democratic lawmaker’s family, shooting Senator John Hoffman and his wife multiple times before fleeing into the woods.
Law enforcement heroes tracked Boelter through two counties before cornering him at his rural hideout. The cowardly killer crawled through dirt to surrender when confronted by armed police. Officers found a hit list targeting pro-abortion politicians in his vehicle – proof this was a premeditated assault on conservative values.
While Democrats immediately blamed “political violence,” records show Boelter donated repeatedly to progressive campaigns. His social media posts praised Antifa rioters and called for defunding police. This monster wasn’t some lone wolf – he’s the natural product of leftist rhetoric demonizing law enforcement and traditional Americans.
The FBI’s swift action here contrasts sharply with their slow-walking investigations into liberal political violence. Where’s this urgency when pro-life centers get firebombed? When conservative Supreme Court justices get threatened? This double standard protects the left’s agenda while leaving everyday Americans vulnerable.
Body camera footage shows Boelter wearing a fake police uniform during the attacks – a chilling echo of BLM rioters impersonating officers. This violence springs directly from Democrat policies allowing chaos in our streets. While Republicans back the blue, the left keeps pushing soft-on-crime laws that put killers back on the streets.
Minnesota’s bleeding-heart prosecutors must seek the death penalty here. Weak sentencing and cushy prisons won’t deter this new breed of leftist radical. Real justice requires showing violent extremists there’s no mercy for those who wage war on democracy.
The survivors’ gruesome injuries reveal the attacker’s barbarity. Senator Hoffman took nine bullets defending his wife from this madman. These patriots deserve prayers, not the usual liberal nonsense about “root causes.” There’s no excuse for terrorism – period.
This tragedy proves America needs strong borders and tougher sentencing. While Democrats focus on disarming law-abiding citizens, real Americans demand leaders who’ll lock up violent criminals and keep our communities safe. Freedom isn’t free – it requires brave men with guns to stop monsters like Boelter.
