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.

Several MAGA members have called out the state's Democratic leader over his previous appointment of the suspect to the governor's workforce development board.

The man accused of shooting Democratic state lawmakers in Minnesota on Saturday while impersonating a police officer worked for a security company that advertised a fleet of “police type vehicles,” and other equipment that could potentially have aided him in appearing to be law enforcement.

The suspect sought in the shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses was appointed by Democrat Gov. Tim Walz to serve on a workforce board in the state.
