The Lowdown
Vance Boelter, 57, has been identified as the suspect in the shooting deaths of Minnesota State Rep Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and in the shoootings that severely injured Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette.   Since the onset of the case, there have been a number of conspiracy theories about who or what Boelter appears to support and how his crimes came to be.
Bazaar Insider did some investigating. According to voting records, Boelter is in fact not a Democrat at all. He is a tried true and recorded Republican having voted for Donald Trump. This is despite several claims online that is associated with the previous No Kings protests or somehow the Democratic party. Bazaar Insider has seen the voting records dating back years and they all read Republican.
Interestingly, even before his voting record became public information by way of the record itself — former friends and associates were quick to confirm several tidbits about him to the press. According to the MINN POST, his own friends describe him as a devout Christian and Republican and he has even attended a number of Trump rallies.
The twisted shooter according to police reports impersonated a police officer to carry out his crimes. The same outlet notes that voting records as far back as 2004 have him as voting Republican not Democrat.
