…you have to wonder if he’s going to be forced to resign.
This actually appeared in an article* last week published by the all-Democrat-left-all-the-time New York Times (the bold print is mine):
Over the last five years, law enforcement officials say, fraud took root in pockets of Minnesota’s Somali diaspora [aka, invaders] as scores of individuals made small fortunes by setting up companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars’ worth of social services that were never provided.
Federal prosecutors say that 59 people have been convicted in those schemes so far, and that more than $1 billion in taxpayers’ money has been stolen in three plots they are investigating. That is more than Minnesota spends annually to run its Department of Corrections. Minnesota’s fraud scandal stood out even in the context of rampant theft during the pandemic, when Americans stole tens of billions through unemployment benefits, business loans and other forms of aid, according to federal auditors.
Outrage has swelled among Minnesotans, and fraud has turned into a potent political issue in a competitive campaign season. Gov. Tim Walz and fellow Democrats are being asked to explain how so much money was stolen on their watch, providing Republicans, who hope to take back the governor’s office in 2026, with a powerful line of attack.
There is so much wrong with tim walz – much of which I have written about over the past year – that it beggars imagination to come up with a reason he has not yet been forced to resign.
Maybe now, when even the reliably Democrat/left New York Times can’t take it anymore, the people of Minnesota – the ones who aren’t part of the problem – will finally start demanding that, politically, he takes a long walk on a short pier.
And maybe now, other media venues that should have been reporting this outrage for years – first and foremost, the even further-left Minnesota Star Tribune (formerly the Minneapolis Star Tribune) – will actually stop looking the other way/protecting this massive fraud and educating its readers about how much of their tax money has been expropriated, and who is getting it.
Maybe. But this today’s Minnesota, so there’s no guarantee, is there?
