MN DHS Employees Spill the Tea on Gov. Tim Walz’s ‘Inveterate’ Lying, Complicity in Somali Fraud

In case you’ve missed it, let’s review the litany of crises that have erupted under Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s two terms as governor.

• The 2020 Summer of Love, where he allowed much of Minneapolis to burn to the ground before he asked for National Guard assistance to quell the violence.
• The Trans Agenda, where policies were crammed through the legislature, including tampons in the boys’ locker room and snatching children away from parents who would not affirm their gender identity, and were allowed to flourish, destroying families and bringing harm to communities. Which one could argue led to…
• A trans male shooting up Annunciation Catholic Church, killing two and injuring 17.
• Rampant Somali fraud.
• Under the category of a broken clock being right twice a day, The New York Times decided it is now newsworthy to cover this decades-long fraud and corruption within the Minnesota Somali communities. In another installment in their exclusive series, “How Fraud Swamped Minnesota’s Social Services System on Tim Walz’s Watch,” The NYT details how Minnesota’s governor not only turned a blind eye to what was occurring among the Somalis, but deliberately blocked or targeted anyone who was vocal about this corruption and sought to be a whistleblower.

  Mr. Walz, Minnesota’s second-term governor who gained national attention last year as Kamala Harris’s running mate in a White House bid, said this week that claims of racism did not hinder his administration’s response to fraud.

  Mr. Walz has said that his administration may have erred on the side of generosity during the pandemic as the state pushed out large sums of money quickly, seeking to keep Minnesotans housed, fed and healthy.

  “The programs are set up to move the money to people,” Mr. Walz said in an interview. “The programs are set up to improve people’s lives, and in many cases, the criminals find the loopholes.”

  Mr. Walz, who is seeking a third term next year, has created a new task force to pursue fraud cases; made it easier for state agencies to share information with one another; and announced plans for new technology, including artificial intelligence tools, to spot suspicious billing practices.

  “The message here in Minnesota,” Mr. Walz said, “is if you commit a crime, if you commit fraud against public dollars, you are going to go to prison.”
