President Donald Trump has ignited a national firestorm after sharing a video online that raises serious questions surrounding the death of Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and the political climate in the state under Gov. Tim Walz.
In the video, Trump highlights claims circulating online that suggest political pressure may have played a role in her assasination following Hortman’s vote against extending taxpayer-funded welfare benefits to illegal immigrants—a decision that reportedly angered activist groups and deeply affected Minnesota’s Somali voting bloc.
The video references statements attributed to Vance Boelter, who allegedly claimed he was “forced” into actions by political leadership, naming Gov. Tim Walz. Trump did not state the allegations as fact, but instead questioned why such explosive claims have vanished from the national media conversation without explanation.
