Vance Luther Boelter tells Blaze News he did not want to see his affiliations used against President Trump.
Minnesota assassination suspect Vance Luther Boelter is a Republican who voted for Donald J. Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024, he told Blaze News.
“I am a Trump supporter and voted for him in all 3 elections,” Boelter wrote to Blaze News from the Sherburne County Jail in Elk River, Minn., where he is being held awaiting federal trial. “I am a Republican.”
Boelter, 58, of Green Isle, Minn., is charged in state and federal courts with 14 counts for the brutal slayings of Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman (DFL-Brooklyn Park), her husband, Mark Hortman, and the family dog, Gilbert. He is also charged with the attempted murder of state Sen. John Hoffman (DFL-Champlin), his wife, Yvette Hoffman, and their adult daughter, Hope Hoffman.
‘I didn’t want the press to use that to try and make attacks on Trump.’
