<p>President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he won&#8217;t &#8220;waste time&#8221; with a phone call to &#8220;whacked out&#8221; Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz following the assassinations of a state representative, her husband, and the near-assassination of a state senator and his wife over the weekend.</p>
<p>Sources close to Walz said that the governor spoke to Vice President JD Vance after the Saturday morning shootings, but added that he had not heard from the president. Asked if he would reach out to Walz, the Democrats&#8217; 2024 vice presidential nominee, Trump <a href="https://x.com/kaitlancollins/status/1934918294508638209">said</a>, &#8220;I&#8217;m not calling him.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. Why would I call him?&#8221; Trump <a href="https://x.com/factpostnews/status/1934953237678899354">added</a>. &#8220;I could call and say, ‘Hi, how you doing?’ The guy doesn’t have a clue. He’s a mess. I could be nice and call, but why waste time?”</p>
<p>After the suspected Minnesota assassin killed Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and wounded Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, Trump addressed the deadly shootings.</p>
<p>&#8220;Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America. God Bless the great people of Minnesota, a truly great place,&#8221; the president <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114682713948931541">posted</a> on social media.</p>
<p>Trump was also <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/trump-call-walz-after-minnesota-shootings-calls-grossly-122870353">asked</a> about reaching out to Walz during an interview with ABC News on Sunday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, it&#8217;s a terrible thing. I think he&#8217;s a terrible governor. I think he&#8217;s a grossly incompetent person. But I may, I may call him, I may call other people too,&#8221; Trump said.</p>
<p>Authorities arrested 57-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/suspected-minnesota-assassin-went-to-homes-of-two-other-elected-officials-prosecutor">Vance Boelter</a> on Sunday, just over 24 hours after the assassination of Hortman and the near-killing of Hoffman. The suspect is accused of impersonating a police officer and visiting the houses of at least four elected Democrats in Minnesota. At the Hoffmans&#8217; home, Boelter barged in after being confronted by the state senator and his wife. Boelter opened fire, wounding both of them. He later shot and killed Hortman and her husband at their home before engaging in a shootout with police and getting away.</p>
<p>Police said they found a potential &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-the-hit-list-found-in-minnesota-gunmans-vehicle">hit list</a>&#8221; in Boelter&#8217;s vehicle that contained the names of numerous Democrats, including Gov. Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Angie Craig, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan.</p>
<p>Boelter, who was appointed to Minnesota Democrat Governor Tim Walz’s Workforce Development Council in 2019, was “very conservative,” his roommate <a href="https://x.com/lilialuciano/status/1934315979687010680">told</a> CBS News. The roommate added that Boelter “would be offended if people thought he was a Democrat,” referring to rumors spreading on social media that Boelter was a leftist. The suspect rented a room <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYQPRPe1M3I">part-time</a> in a house in north Minneapolis, but he also <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7c5cDL2ryU">lived</a> in a home about an hour southwest of the Twin Cities with his wife and five children.</p>
<p>Boelter faces federal charges, including stalking, murder, and multiple firearms-related offenses. The federal murder charge makes Boelter eligible for the death penalty.</p>
