Tim Walz Wont Admit That Somalians Have Robbed Minnesota

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz won’t admit that Somalians have stolen millions, and even possibly up to $1 billion of taxpayer money.

In a Friday news conference, the governor said that "an organized group of fraudsters" stole taxpayer money. 

Minnesota is a great place to live. We understand that the strength and prosperity of our state depends on the ability of every Minnesotan to thrive.

However, our generosity has been taken advantage of by an organized group of fraudsters.

The interview follows Somalis in Minnesota taking $14 million from a program meant to help kids with autism. When the federal government first busted the program, it charged 47 people. 

Many of the 77 people charged in the $250 million Feeding Our Future program scam, the largest known Covid-19 fraud scheme in the country, are Somalians. The fraudsters claimed to have served more than 300,000 meals to children. The criminals spent that taxpayer money on luxury items. 

Feeding Our Future had served as a sponsor for numerous organizations that signed up to participate in the Federal Child Nutrition Program. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with states distributing funds locally.

NEW: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz attempts to shift the blame from the Somali community in the state's widespread fraud scandal:

The federal government has said that it will investigate this fraud in January. 

Egregious fraud in Minnesota has cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, including funds sent to Somalia through money services businesses (MSBs), which provide financial services outside a formal bank.

Under @POTUS’ leadership, the @USTreasury will not stop until we…

Incompetent scumbag Tim Walz says it's a "pretty hard reach" to expect the Somali community to not engage in the massive theft of tax dollars, criticizes @POTUS for calling them out:
