Accused Minnesota maniac Vance Boelter rants to The Post about Tim Walz, calls governor ‘traitor to the American people’

Accused Minnesota maniac Vance Boelter ranted that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was a “traitor to the American people” in an exclusive exchange with The Post this week.

Boelter, 57, claimed he first met Walz when the governor “personally reappointed” him to serve on Minnesota’s Workforce Development Council in 2019, he wrote from Sherburne County Jail, using its internal messaging system. 

Walz “was always telling me China was the future, China knows how to get things done, China knows how to control their people,” Boelter ranted.

The Democratic vice presidential candidate was dogged last year on the campaign trail by questions about his ties to China — which he’s famously visited more than 30 times.

“Tim would say stuff like everyone should be either working for the government, or be supported by the government,” Boelter claimed.

Walz’s name, Boelter said, was on the list he carried on June 14 — the day he allegedly murdered Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and shot Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. He has since pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted murder charges.

The madman bizarrely claimed the names — which he insisted was not a “hit list” — were of those “getting massive financial amounts from the Chinese government,” citing unspecified “financial documents” that he’d seen.

Walz, 61, first visited China in 1989 as a fresh college grad, working for the WorldTeach program in Foshan, according to reports. Three years later, Walz and his wife Gwen helped launch an exchange program in Beijing for high school students.

During a school lesson in 1991, he said of China’s communist system “means that everyone is the same, and everyone shares,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.

While serving in Congress, Walz was also a visiting fellow at a state-run university in China – which led the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability to open a probe last August into his ties with Chinese government officials. The Committee has not released any definitive conclusions on the matter.

The North Star State governor “even wanted me to go over to China. He said they will make sure you have a really good time,” claimed Boelter, who alleged that such communications with Walz happened over the phone.

The US Attorney’s office in Minnesota has slammed Boelter’s claims as “fantasy” and local prosecutors previously said they’d “seen no evidence that the allegations regarding Governor Walz are based in fact.”

Walz’s office has called the shooting “deeply disturbing” and a “tragedy.”

Boelter claimed he only intended to do “4 or 5 Citizen arrests and everyone was going to be released safe in the morning…My goal was not to go around shooting people.”

Boelter wanted to “question” his targets about how people “were dying in Minnesota after getting the COVID 19 vaccine” and “how the MN government leaders were covering it up.” 

His plan “went horribly wrong,” after the Hoffman’s and their adult daughter rushed at and tried to subdue him.

“At that moment I aimed the gun down between us at the floor hoping not to shoot my foot and just started firing until I was out of the house,” he told The Post, adding his “mask had shifted during the struggle,” so he couldn’t see where he was shooting. 

“As I started shooting, people started letting go at different times and so my arm was being pushed and pulled and so where [sic] all the rounds that were going at That point is hard to say. When I stopped shooting I realized I was outside the door.”

He whined he shouldn’t be given the death penalty — because he didn’t shoot at cops when he claimed he had the chance to do so when they closed in as he left the Hortman home.

“If I withheld shooting at the police and they decide to pursue the death penalty that will send the message that the government sees no value in that,” he continued. “That’s not a good message to put out there.”
