Carlson said that Boelter was a strong supporter of President Donald Trump,despite numerous right-wing social media posts by transphobic billionaire Elon Musk and other conservative politicians claiming that Boelter was a left-wing Marxist because he once served on a bipartisan board of Gov. Tim Walz (D).In a statement marking Boelters arrest, Walz wrote, Boelters unthinkable actions ended the life of someone who shaped the core of who we are as a state. Someone who was believed by colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Someone who sacrificed everything for public service.As a country, we cannot become numb to this violence. We are a deeply divided nation. That has become even more clear over the last two days.
