In a controversial conversation, Newsmax host David Harris Jr. questioned Governor Tim Walz's governance after the shooting of State Rep. Melissa Hortman and Senator John Hoffman by suspect Vance Boelter, who had prior affiliations with the governor. Harris highlighted Hortman's fear for her safety after voting against Walz's healthcare plan for illegal immigrants. A spokesperson for Walz clarified that the governor does not directly appoint board members and does not know Boelter, aiming to mitigate implications of violence linked to his office.
Harris questioned, "What were his motives? After voting against her own Democrat colleagues and the agenda of Governor Tim Walz, she was killed, and her suspect had ties to the governor."
A spokesperson for Walz sought to distance the governor from Boelter, stating, "There are thousands of volunteers of all political persuasions who serve on hundreds of these boards. The Governor does not interview applicants for these roles and does not know Boelter."
