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,”

This POS looks really old, I believe he is in his early 60’s, looks at least 10 years older. Liberalism destroys your body.

Chairman Xi was deeply saddened when their CCP tool Tim Walz wasn’t installed. Gov Newsom, you’re up next.

The fact that this assclown is still holding the highest office in the state is conclusive evidence that the entire state is complicit in the fraud.

IMHO, Walz has his well into the 8 figures cut of the fraud stashed in crypto and a bugout plan to get out of the country. He can say what he wants.

If we’re going to get him, it will have to be by surprise, and it better be soon.

“It happens in other states.”

Yes, Governor. We know that you are only a small part of the problem.

You are familiar with Republicans are you not? Do you actually expect the Stupid Party to defend itself?

Putz incited the anti ICE mobs in MN to distract from the Somali fraud scandals on his watch. Putz is full of absurd excuses for his failure as a human being.

B-BB-B-But there are factions within the Leftist propaganda machine who say that the Minnesota fraud investigation is a cover-up for the 'Epstein Files'.

I sure do wish that these Leftists would get their propaganda statements coordinated ...........
