Former Minnesota Vikings player Jack Brewer slammed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for allowing the state to become “the capital of chaos” following the assassination of a state lawmaker.

Brewer, who previously played for the University of Minnesota’s football team prior to joining the Minnesota Vikings, spoke out against Walz following a Saturday morning shooting that left State Rep. Melissa Hortman dead. Democrat Senator John Hoffman (D-Minn.) and his wife were shot as well.

“We need to start calling this what it is. These people have lost their minds. I am heartbroken to see one of the most amazing states in America completely turned around under Gov. Tim Walz. Minnesota is confused,” Brewer stated.

“I played for the Vikings. I played for the Gophers. I lived in Minnesota for years. It was not like this. People were respectful. People could disagree and still have conversations. I still have a lot of family there, and it hurts to see what they’re living through,” he continued.

“Minnesota has become the capital of chaos in America. That’s not right. It’s not a reflection of the true people of Minnesota. There are a lot of good people there. But the liberal hub around Minneapolis and St. Paul has taken over, and it’s dangerous. Tim Walz is the leader of that. His Attorney General, Keith Ellison, is right there with him,” Brewer added.

A manhunt is currently underway for 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter, who allegedly posed as a police officer during the murder of Hortman and her husband.
