Minnesota GOP Lawmakers Denounce Viral Claims Tying Hortman’s Killing to Fraud Probe

Investigators say suspect Vance Boelter acted alone in a politically motivated attack.

Overview

  • State Sen. Julia Coleman publicly urged conservatives to stop spreading unsubstantiated links, responding to a viral post by actor Sara Foster.
  • Rep. Kristin Robbins joined Coleman in rejecting rumors that tied the homicide to state fraud cases or implicated Governor Tim Walz.
  • Authorities reiterate there is no verified connection between the murder and the welfare fraud investigation and maintain the shooter acted alone.
  • Investigators reported Boelter left a note listing roughly 70 potential targets, which officials cite as evidence of a personal hit list rather than an organized plot.
  • The ongoing probe into alleged misuse of about $9 billion in childcare and Medicaid funds has produced dozens of charges, with prosecutors emphasizing the scheme’s breadth.
