Accused Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter expressed fears the US was “turning against Israel” years before he allegedly carried out a sickening political assassination, a former work acquaintance claimed.
Boelter, 57, appeared to become increasingly frustrated by society in the years leading up to the twisted attack and had warned that the US was losing its “Judaic/Christian foundations,” Charlie Kalech, CEO of a web design firm commissioned by Boelter, told ABC News.
Kalech’s firm, J-Town, was chosen by Boelter because it is Jerusalem-based and he wanted to show support for Israel, he said, adding that he worked with Boelter for more than a decade doing web design for various projects.
While working on a concept for a book Boelter had written called “Revoformation,” Kalech said the accused assassin said American leadership “is slowly turning against Israel.”
“I am very concerned that the leadership in the US is slowly turning against Israel because we are losing our Judaic/Christian foundations that was [sic] once very strong,” he wrote in a PowerPoint presentation he sent to Kalech in September 2017 about “Revoformation.”
Kalech took the name of the book to be a mashup of “revolution” and “reformation.”
“I believe that if the Christians are united and the people who are leading this Revoformation are a blessing to Israel that it will be good for both Israel and the US,” the presentation continued.
Boelter remains in federal custody on charges of murdering Minnesota Democrat Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and of trying to assassinate state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, on Friday night.
