First, the reason for the murder was revealed when police discovered a list of roughly 70 politicians he intended to assassinate.

MAGA calls out Boelter's friend Carlson 

According to MAGA, it is impossible to trust someone who couldn't even recall the name of former President Joe Biden to make a declaration about someone's political affiliation.

“He wasn’t a Democrat. He didn’t like Jim Walz. He didn’t like Jim Biden. He listened to InfoWars,” stated Boelter's roommate.

If someone referred to him as a Democrat, the friend said that Boelter would take offense. He was merely helping the community when he served on this board for Governor Walz. He remarked, “I can't believe a political issue would cause him to do such a thing.”

The friend stated, “He did not like Jim Walz, he did not like Jim Biden,” alluding to Joe Biden and Tim Walz.

Reacting to Carlson's statement, one Trump supporter wrote: “Who’s Jim Biden?This roommate is totally unreliable, considering Boelter attacked two Democratic lawmakers in separate incidents for supporting Republicans in removing healthcare funding for illegal immigrants.”

“Jim Walz? Lmao,” another stated.

“Such a liar!!! He voted Democrat! Appointed by a Democrat. Wife volunteered for a Democrat. Killed Democrats looking to leave the party!” a third user said.
