Questions and misinformation have spread on social media and other platforms about the political views of the man suspected of assassinating Minnesota House DFL leader Melissa Hortman, and any connections that alleged gunman had to Gov.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reappointed the suspect wanted in connection with the shooting of Minnesota state legislators to a workforce development board. Conservatives baselessly said that implicated Walz in the killing.

Vance Luther Boelter, the suspect in Minnesota shooting, was previously appointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Council by Tim Walz.
