Questions and misinformation have spread on social media and other platforms about the political views of the man suspected of assassinating Minnesota House DFL leader Melissa Hortman, and any connections that alleged gunman had to Gov.

Vance Luther Boelter, the suspect in Minnesota shooting, was previously appointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Council by Tim Walz.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday ruled out calling Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the targeted shootings of two state lawmakers, saying that to do so would “waste time.”
