An exchange on Fox News highlighted allegations of widespread fraud involving Minnesota transportation companies, with investigative commentator Nick Shirley describing what he said was extensive abuse tied to state-funded programs and enabled by political inaction.
Shirley appeared with host Jesse Watters to discuss his on-the-ground investigation into transportation providers connected to daycare operations across Minnesota.
According to Shirley, many of the companies receiving taxpayer money appeared to have no legitimate operations at all.
Watters asked Shirley whether community leaders were defending those accused of fraud even if they were not directly involved.
“Like, even if they’re not involved in the fraud, are they still defending the Somali tribe?” Watters asked.
“Well, you heard them,” Shirley responded.
