  1. Suspected Assassin Preached on #SpiritualWarfare

    Man charged with murdering Minnesota legislator said God would raise up apostles and prophets to correct the church.

    Paul O'Donnell, June 16, 2025

    "#VanceBoelter, the man arrested in connection with the killing of a Minnesota state legislator and her husband and the shooting of a state senator and his wife on June 14, is an #evangelical missionary who has preached in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in recent years.

    "The FBI identified Boelter, 57, as a suspect in the killing of Rep. #MelissaHortman, a Democrat, and Mark Hortman at their home in Champlin, a suburb of Minneapolis. The suspect, who impersonated an officer to gain entry to the Hortmans’ home, was still at the crime scene when police officers arrived, but he escaped after an exchange of fire.

    "Earlier, the suspect had shot and wounded Democratic state Sen. #JohnHoffman and his wife, Yvette Hoffman, at their home.

    "Boelter identified himself on LinkedIn and other websites as the CEO and president of two security services companies, #PraetorianGuard Security Services and #RedLionGroup, the latter based in DRC, in Central Africa. On his LinkedIn page, which shows that he worked as a general manager at 7-11 in Minneapolis until 2021, he lists himself as open to work.

    "But in a video dated February 2023, Boelter is seen preaching at La Borne Matadi, a church in Matadi, on the western coast of the DRC. In one sermon he tells the audience that 'people don’t know what sex they are' because the devil 'has gotten so far into their mind and their soul.'

    "In another sermon at the church, one of three he gave from 2021 to 2023, according to Wired, Boelter said, 'They don’t know abortion is wrong, many churches,' he told the audience. 'They don’t have the gifts flowing. God gives the body gifts. To keep balance. Because when the body starts moving in the wrong direction, when they’re one, and accepting the gifts, God will raise an apostle or prophet to correct their course.'

    " 'God is going to raise up apostles and prophets in America,' he added, 'to correct his church.'

    "On the now-defunct website for #Revoformation, a nonprofit apparently founded by Boelter, a biography said that he was ordained in 1993 and had attended #ChristForTheNationsInstitute in Dallas, a #charismatic 'Spirit-filled Bible School,' according to its website, that helps develop ministry skills."

  3. Statement from spokesperson for #Minnesota Governor #TimWalz:

    "Governor Walz wishes that President Trump would be a President for all Americans, but this tragedy isn't about Trump or Walz. It's about the Hortman family, the Hoffman family, & the State of Minnesota, & the Governor remains focused on helping all three heal."

  4. But after the shootings in the #Minneapolis suburbs over the weekend, which left one #Democratic lawmaker [a mother of 2 children] & her husband #dead & another lawmaker & his wife gravely wounded, #Trump seemed perplexed when asked by reporters if he intended to call #TimWalz, who was the Democratic VP nominee in 2024.

  5. “I don’t really call him,” #Trump told reporters during his flight back to DC after making an early exit from the #G7 summit in Canada late Monday. “I think the governor of #Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him. Why would I call him?”

    It is a well established custom for presidents to call state leaders to express #sympathy & offer #support after deadly #shootings & other calamities.

  6. #Trump asked if he’ll call Governor #TimWalz in wake of #Minnesota #shootings

    Normally in the wake of a serious shooting or crime the #president of the #UnitedStates calls the governor to make sure they have all they need in terms of #LawEnforcement resources, #medical, #security, #trauma response etc.

    #POS #immoral #DerelictionOfDuty #law #USpol #MelissaHortman #JohnHoffman

    This is how Trump responded:

  7. The #complaint against #VanceLutherBoelter alleges that he stopped at the #Minnesota homes of a state representative in Maple Grove and a state senator in New Hope in between carefully planned attacks that #killed state Rep.#MelissaHortman and her husband, Mark, and left state Sen. #JohnHoffman and his wife, Yvette, seriously injured. washingtonpost.com/documents/6 #maga #assassination #attemptedmurder #politics #abortion #gunviolence #government #democrats #law

  8. The #MAGA playbook - DARVO.
    Deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender. "It's a tactic domestic abusers use to avoid accountability: Deny you hurt her, call her a liar, then claim that actually, she abused you."
