Freepers are making hay of the fact the shooter had connections to Walz [View all]

And former Governor Dayton

“Boelter’s prior appointments to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board (2016 by Governor Mark Dayton, 2019 by Walz, term expired 2023) placed him in state government records, making it easier for authorities to match his identity to evidence like the manifesto or Father’s Day card.“

The above was part of a post at FR and I won’t provide a link to it.

But they ignore this part of the post:

“Critical Evaluation
Reliability: The AP’s report, citing two law enforcement sources, is the most credible, as it aligns with multiple outlets (FOX 9, Hindustan Times, The Washington Post) and is less speculative than X posts. Rosas and Markowicz’s claims on X, while early, are supported by the AP and a notarized document, adding weight, but their police sources are unverified. Outlets like The Liberty Daily and Must Read Alaska frame Boelter as a “radical Democrat” or “communist,” which lacks evidence and reflects bias, as no source confirms his political leanings.“
