A Connection Between the Murder of MN Rep. Hortman and Somali Fraud?

Yesterday we wrote about a young independent journalist by the name of Nick Shirley going viral in online news in spite of the neglect of the legacy news media. He did a deep dive on the Somali public aid fraud in Minneapolis with a local researcher there by the name of “Dave”.

FBI Director Kash Patel has already promised a massive amount of FBI manpower to Minnesota to conduct what should be a forensic audit of everyone receiving any form of Federal funding for social programs for food assistance, medical care, or child daycare.

But some local people in the state are asking Patel and his FBI to dig deeper and conduct a real investigation into the murder (assassination?) of Minnesota Representative Melissa Hortman. She and her husband were gunned downed in their home by a man impersonating a police officer. Locals are saying there was no real investigation of the event other than just enough to get the shooter charged with murder.

Hortman is reported as being the only Minnesota Democrat Representative to vote to stop the funding of fraudulent healthcare programs for illegals in Minnesota. She cast the deciding vote against it June 9 and then got murdered by Vance Boetler on June 14 of 2025. Boetler is a self- described ally of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Walz had previously reappointed Boetler to a state advisory board position.

While some on the Internet, presumably liberals, are saying this is just another conspiracy theory of the right, the fact of the matter is there are too many coincidences to let this story of suspicions go because of the amount of money involved.

Minnesota Democrat House Speaker Melissa Hortman joined Republicans to repeal the Minnesota Care program to aid about 40,000 undocumented adults in Minnesota. She broke a House tie to avoid a budget shutdown on June 9th.

Days later Boetler allegedly murdered her and her husband in their home impersonating a police officer. He then allegedly went on to wound State Democratic Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Many now want these shootings investigated amid Minnesota’s $9 billion Somali welfare fraud scandal involving fake public aid facilitators.  

CONCLUSION:

Irony mixed with stupidity is a good way to describe how mainstream news sources report on stories like these now. The earliest example of this was the reporting of the homosexual celebrity Hollywood star Jussie Smollett being attacked in Chicago. He reported in 2019 he was assaulted by two white men late at night wearing MAGA hats. They accosted him, poured bleach on him, and put a noose around his neck and told him, “This is MAGA country!”

The story was going really well for the socialist Democrats with fans, activists, politicians, media figures, and what seemed like all of Hollywood offering vocal support to Smollett. But then security videos released showed two big black dues without MAGA hats confronting Smollett in downtown Chicago. The problem of media bias became apparent as coverage greatly diminished when the black Chicago police chief exposed it as a hoax and wanted Smollett prosecuted by the black Soros planted District Attorney Kim Foxx.

The murder of Hortman and her husband is yet another example of this media bias. Almost immediately the press wanted to paint Boetler as a MAGA Trump Republican but then it came out he was actually a Walz paid appointee to a Minnesota State Board.  

“Minnesota House Democrats choose new leader after former Speaker Melissa Hortman killed in political attack” – CBS News

While CBS was correct in claiming this was a political attack, they never concluded with which party. One has to be more than tone deaf to not see this as a little bit more than a coincidence. After all, these murders/attempted murders took place just 5 days after two reputable politicians tried to stop this corruption… Minnesota State corruption where billions of taxpayer dollars have been proven stolen by fraud under the nose of Governor Tim Walz.

Two points are striking about this story and only stupid people and socialist Democrats will downplay the significance of these points:

• The Democrats picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for their 2024 Vice Presidential candidate for a reason and they did not choose him for his intellect, popularity, or proven track record in politics. Did Walz blackmail Democrats to make him the choice because he was behind their massive USAID money laundering operation?
• Vance Boetler, at the time of his arrest, said Governor Tim Walz ordered the hit on Hortman and Hoffman. Why was this information debunked saying that Boetler was crazy and delusional, and then neglected by the media altogether?

When you go back and look at Walz waltzing around on the 2024 campaign trail, he looked extremely clownish for a person seeking the Vice Presidency. “I’m a knucklehead” he said about himself and this behavior was accepted. However, behavioral scientists might interpret those behaviors as frantic desperation. He knew the deep poop he was going to be in if Trump got elected with Vance and here we are.
