Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, June 20, 2025

People with direct knowledge of a letter Vance Boelter addressed to the FBI say it is rambling and conspiratorial. In a rambling, conspiratorial letter addressed to the FBI, alleged assassin Vance Boelter claimed Gov. Tim Walz instructed him to kill U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar so that Walz could run for the U.S. Senate, according to two people familiar with the contents of the letter. The letter is the clearest evidence yet of Boelter's mindset after the targeted violence against Minnesota politicians last week. It is incoherent, one and a half pages long, confusing and hard to read, according to two people familiar with the letter's contents. It includes Boelter alleging he had been trained by the U.S. military off the books, and that Walz, who is not running for Senate, had asked him to kill Klobuchar and others.

Interesting. This guy is insane. Walz is a complete clown but I don't for a second believe this guy's claim is even remotely truthful.

That's why I offered clarification. After I reread my first post I realized it was poorly written.

Letter to FBI from shooting suspect made wild claims about Klobuchar and Walz, sources say

Sources say?

Couldn't they just provide the proof?

It's part of the letter, isn't it?

I'll have to wait to see it otherwise this is nothing more than hearsay.

Until Trump says he did.

Then you'll start with saying you need to see more evidence.

Next you'll say you don't think it's true, but it might be.

Then you'll believe it.

We already know your shtick.

This is Orwellian:

" The most important takeaway from Quinn's research, however, was that engaging with toxic content only made it worse. "When you get attacked, the instinct is to push back, call it out, say, This isn't true,'" Quinn says. "But the more engagement something gets, the more the platforms boost it. The algorithm reads that as, Oh, this is popular; people want more of it.'"
The solution, she concluded, was to pressure platforms to enforce their rules, both by removing content or accounts that spread disinformation and by more aggressively policing it in the first place. "The platforms have policies against certain types of malign behavior, but they haven't been enforcing them," she says.
Quinn's research gave ammunition to advocates pushing social media platforms to take a harder line. In November 2019, Mark Zuckerberg invited nine civil rights leaders to dinner at his home, where they warned him about the danger of the election-related falsehoods that were already spreading unchecked. "It took pushing, urging, conversations, brainstorming, all of that to get to a place where we ended up with more rigorous rules and enforcement," says Vanita Gupta, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, who attended the dinner and also met with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and others. (Gupta has been nominated for Associate Attorney General by President Biden.) "It was a struggle, but we got to the point where they understood the problem. Was it enough? Probably not. Was it later than we wanted? Yes. But it was really important, given the level of official disinformation, that they had those rules in place and were tagging things and taking them down."

Of course Time was jubilant about it. "Misinformation/disinformation" is a catch-all buzz-phrase Dems/left constantly use as justification to partner with the private sector to control language and narrative. Obama pined for more government control (next time Dems have power) to censor.

A verified letter traceable to the shooter detailing his belief that he was acting as an agent for Walz. But you won't accept it because it doesn't confirm your preconceived beliefs that you cling to without evidence. You deny your own eyes when they don't confirm your biased view of the world.

A quick search of google shows the only media sources pushing this "letter" are the linked source, the times of India, and a facebook group which I'm sure is where Blue found the trolling article.

Holy shht!

Is this Hunter Biden's email version 2?

Why not release the letter, rather than imply what's on it?

I'm sure all those people who thought they were acting on orders from Trump were actually acting on orders from Trump.

Now, let me get this straight.

Power hungry governor Tim Walz orders a hit on a US Senator while he was running for VP? You'd have to be an obviously deranged murderous imbecile to believe it, much less write it down. Do you dumb ------- ever listen to yourselves?

You're drawing a conclusion based on no evidence. There's an actual document written by the assassin claiming to be working for Walz.

To make the analogy work, Son of Sam blames the dog and you blame it on Trump/MAGA.

Trump/MAGA is part of the defining pattern for domestic terrorists in this country; for decades they've been almost all far rwing white nationalist authoritarians.
