President Donald Trump’s administration announced on Tuesday that it’s freezing child care funds to Minnesota and demanding an audit of some day care centers after a series of fraud schemes involving government programs in recent years.
Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill said on the social platform X that the move is in response to “blatant fraud that appears to be rampant in Minnesota and across the country.”
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pushed back on X, saying fraudsters are a serious issue that the state has spent years cracking down on but that this move is part of “Trump’s long game.”
O’Neill referenced a right-wing influencer who posted a video Friday claiming he found that day care centers operated by Somali residents in Minneapolis had committed up to $100 million in fraud. O’Neill said he has demanded Walz submit an audit of these centers that includes attendance records, licenses, complaints, investigations and inspections.
Trump has criticized Walz’s administration over the fraud cases, capitalizing on them to target the Somalia diaspora in the state, which has the largest Somali population in the U.S.
Fucking Nazis man. Can’t trust anything they do or say. Especially once they’ve tied it to a specific race.
And of course everything devolves into racism
Unfortunately I knew that before I even finished reading the extract
The entire Somali fraud report seems to have a lot of staged propaganda in it so this was definitely a top-down orchestrated campaign.
Even the guy who made it worked for Israeli propaganda. The entire right wing spectrum boosted it and then the glorious leader brings down the hammer.
This is peak manufactured consent.
