“I played for the Vikings. I played for the Gophers. I lived in Minnesota for years. It was not like this. People were respectful. People could disagree and still have conversations. I still have a lot of family there, and it hurts to see what they’re living through,” he said.
Brewer placed the blame squarely on Democrat leadership and accused the state’s top officials of caving to extremist elements that have overrun Minnesota’s major cities.
“Minnesota has become the capital of chaos in America. That’s not right. It’s not a reflection of the true people of Minnesota. There are a lot of good people there. But the liberal hub around Minneapolis and St. Paul has taken over, and it’s dangerous. Tim Walz is the leader of that. His attorney general, Keith Ellison, is right there with him,” Brewer added.
The manhunt is currently underway for 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter, who is the prime suspect in this tragic series of politically charged shootings. Law enforcement sources confirmed his identity to the Associated Press.
What makes this case even more unsettling is Boelter’s long history of involvement in state government. He was previously appointed to Minnesota’s Workforce Development Board—first by Democrat Gov. Mark Dayton in 2016 and again by Tim Walz in 2019.
Boelter’s credentials include a Ph.D. in “leadership for learning and service advancement” from Cardinal Stritch University. His term on the board expired just last year.
Despite his prior connections to the state’s leadership, Governor Walz addressed the violence publicly but failed to acknowledge his own administration’s past ties to the suspect.
“I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center,” Walz posted on X. “Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.”
In a press briefing, Walz attempted to console a grieving state while labeling the incident as a deliberate political act.
“Our state lost a great leader,” Walz said. “Speaker Hortman was someone who served the people of Minnesota with grace, compassion, humor, and a sense of service.”
“This was an act of targeted political violence,” Walz added. “Peaceful discourse is the foundation of our democracy. We don’t settle their differences with violence or at gunpoint in the state of Minnesota.”
But what the governor didn’t mention? Boelter reportedly posed as a law enforcement officer before ambushing Senator John Hoffman and his wife in their Champlin home. He then allegedly drove to former House Speaker Melissa Hortman’s home and murdered her and her husband.
In a move that is raising eyebrows across the state, Governor Walz quickly condemned the violence as “politically motivated” but remained silent on the fact that the suspect had once been appointed by his own administration.
Jack Brewer, never one to mince words, blasted the governor for what he sees as weak leadership and cultural decay. He called for Minnesota to embrace strong families and traditional values—especially on a weekend that was supposed to honor fatherhood.
“On this Father’s Day, I wish Minnesota would focus on restoring fatherhood — protecting women, protecting families. Tim Walz is the example of a weak, emasculated leader. That is not what God made fathers to be. It’s pathetic,” Brewer said.
The former Viking didn’t stop there. He linked the breakdown in civil society to a much deeper spiritual problem that he says is being ignored by progressive politicians.
“It’s terrible. The root cause of all of this is evil. When you’re willing to attack, ridicule, riot and protest anyone who believes something different — even in your own party — you’ve gone too far. The Democrats have gone so far left that if you’re not a raging liberal, you’re under attack. They are forcing everyone in the party to conform,” Brewer warned.
“Whenever you give Satan power, he shows his face. That’s what we’re witnessing now,” he concluded.
As Minnesota reels from yet another tragedy, questions continue to pile up: What drives a man once appointed by Democrat leaders to commit such horrific violence? And why won’t the current administration own its role in creating an environment where political bloodshed is now a reality?
