Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is vowing to bring more Somali immigrants to his state, despite the massive fraud scandal that has unfolded in the Minnesota Somali community on his watch.
In a just world, Walz would have already resigned from his role as governor over this. Instead, he is defiantly showing the country that he just doesn’t care. And why should he? It’s not like the media is going to hold him accountable. He’s a Democrat.
Even so, it takes some serious nerve for him to act like this.

Tim Walz Pledges To ‘Welcome More’ Somalis Into Minnesota as Evidence of Staggering Fraud Scheme Makes National Headlines
Minnesota governor Tim Walz (D.) is pledging to bring more Somalis to his state as he grapples with the fallout from a massive Somali welfare fraud scheme that occurred under his watch.
“We are going to defend our neighbors,” Walz said at a Tuesday fundraiser, according to the Center Square. “Instead of demonizing our Somali community, we’re going to do more to welcome more in.”
The remarks come as Walz faces criticism for his administration’s failure to prevent a sprawling welfare fraud scheme orchestrated by Somalis living in Minnesota. Much of the fraud, which amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars, occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic but has gained national attention only in recent weeks.
Walz refused to take responsibility for failing to stop the fraud scheme, telling NBC News’s Kristen Welker, “I take responsibility for putting people in jail.”
It’s important to note that the money that was stolen, was earmarked for children.
