The comments I read from Conservatives immediately jumped on the "No Kings" fliers and that he had some job because of Tim Walz. So they called him a Dem even when they knew he had a list of leftists he wanted to kill. They're so desperate to spread a false narrative instead of seeking justice. Never forget that, these people are truly demons.

The disinformation machine is still going strong on this one. He was a conservative:

Vance Boelter was also an outspoken evangelical Christian who traveled to Africa to tell his faith story and, in at least one sermon, pointedly questioned American morals on sexual orientation, according to videos and social media posts reviewed by CNN.

Boelter was a conservative who was strongly against abortion rights, a longtime friend told CNN on Saturday. But Boelter never mentioned any particular anger with the lawmakers who were shot, said David Carlson.

“It wasn’t the thing that defined him,” he said of his religious and political beliefs.

I remember going onto the conservative sub, and one of the top headlines was something like "Alleged shooter was appointed to his position by Tim Walz."
