U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) has come under fire for comments he made on social media blaming Democrats for the murder of a Minnesota state lawmaker. The senator posted a surveillance photo of suspected shooter Vance Luther Boelter on X with the captions: "This is what happens When Marxists don't get their way," and "Nightmare on Waltz Street," an incorrectly spelled reference to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D). Right-wing politicians and pundits have speculated that Boelter had Democratic ties because was once appointed by Walz to a civilian economic board. The alleged shooter's hit list targeted Democratic officials. His friends say he holds deeply conservative religious and political views, and that he is a President Trump supporter who would be offended to be described as a Democrat.
