Tim Walz shrugs off Minnesota’s massive fraud scandal, claims GOP using it as ‘excuse’ to target immigrants

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz shrugged off the fraud scandal in his state during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel’s show on Wednesday, and said it was an excuse by Republicans to demonize the immigrant community.

“Mixed into all this is this — these multiple cases of benefits fraud that were happening,” Kimmel said.

“Now, I want to ask you: Did it take an extraordinarily long time for you to know that that was happening? Is that just something that has been spread?”

Walz said no and turned it back on President Donald Trump, saying, “It happens in other states. We were going back — many of these people were prosecuted in 2021. He used it as an excuse because it was a perfect thing to do to say there was fraud. Imagine that — you know, coming from this guy, he would know fraud where it was at.”

Kimmel then referred to Trump as “Sigmund Fraud.”

“Demonize immigrant communities, especially the Somali community,” Walz said.

“And I said what he was doing was — the programs in Minnesota, look, we are a generous state. We’re also, like California, we’re a payer state. We pay more in than we get back to support ‘red’ states that don’t support their people. But, they came in to try and destroy those programs and, you know, that’s again rich, destroy programs that don’t help them by billionaires who commit this fraud. But no, it was an excuse for them to do it. Thank goodness the people of Minnesota showed the courage, stood up and pushed back,”

Walz is a true tard. Illegal aliens are not "immigrants".

It is still hard to believe the American people are so corrupt and evil that they are still ready to make a big tidal wave of Dem gains in the midterms against the GOP after
cases of Dems siding with the dangerous criminals, the violent aliens, the fraudsters who stole billions of dollars of federal tax money and are rooting for the enemy Iranians to defeat Trump and the USA.

All that and over half the people want Dems in the midterms?

I owe them no respect.

Looks....

It aggravates me to no end that injections of needles containing diet potions like Ozempic are helping these monsters to lose weight:
Tim Walz
JD Pritzker
Katie Porter.

Unfair.

Where are all those dangerous side effects on the TV ads?
Satan watching out for his own.
