Calls Grow to Investigate Walz Amid Minnesota Fraud Allegations
Newsmax ^ | Saturday, 27 December 2025 | James Morley III

Posted on 12/27/2025 1:17:11 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Calls to hold Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz accountable are growing after what independent journalist Nick Shirley says is evidence of massive fraud uncovered this week.

Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., and Tesla CEO Elon Musk are among the high-profile figures calling for increased scrutiny of Walz as accusations of widespread fraud mount.

In a video that has since gone viral, Shirley and his team confront daycare workers in and around the Twin Cities.

Shirley claims the operations were beneficiaries of hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds despite no legitimate business activity to justify the influx of money.

In one clip, Shirley and his team show an early learning center with a misspelling on the sign out front — "learing" instead of "learning." The clip caught the attention of Emmer, who has previously confronted Walz over alleged misuse of taxpayer funds.

"$4 million of hard-earned tax dollars going to an education center that can't even spell 'learning' correctly. Care to explain this one, @tim_walz?" Emmer posted on X.

Because the alleged fraud is centered around the Twin Cities' large Somali community, the investigation has stirred racial tensions, with some of those confronted accusing Shirley of racism for questioning them.

In another portion of the video, Shirley speaks with a man who says he has lived near a Somali-run "daycare center" for eight years and claims he has not seen a single child enter the facility since 2017.

There is zero chance of 9 billion dollars in welfare fraud happening in Minnesota without the upper levels of the political class getting a cut

Yeah NOTHING will happen..NO ONE ever goes after Democrats, EVER..they can do whatever they want and always get away with it. This was by DESIGN, import a permanent voter block, give them whatever freebies they want, and in return, they turn a blind eye to the fraud and also, pocket a lot of the cash themselves. Follow the money, I GUARANTEE you that Walz has pocketed a lot of the fraud dough

I’d guess a whole lot of top officials in Minnesota are up to their necks in this epic fraud/theft of tax payer money.

Since the adoption of four-year terms in 1962, no Minnesota governor has been elected to a third term.

C’mon, be considerate, Walz said a while back that he did not have any retirement savings. That would mean he would be forced to live on Social Security, his teacher pension, and whatever he would get as a former governor. That is hardly enough to fund future trips to China when he retires.

I was doing some research after watching Nick’s expose last night and found one of the DOJ indictments regarding the fraud in Minnesota. There were quite a few non-Somali names on the charging document, which I found surprising.

I think this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as fraud is concerned and that citizen journalism is probably needed to ferret it out. Pretty sure it’s happening in the other 49 states too, although immigrants seem to take it to a “hole notha level.”

The good thing about this is that this means there is at least a year of bad pr to come out of molinnesots. That trades the democrat brand and makes Italy less likely that anyone outside of the Somalis will vote democrat in most non. Even better early indications are that Minnesota is just the tip of the iceberg. Every blue state is rife with fraud. The Trump administration is not blind to he the political effect of unearthing fraud in every black e state in America.? The dems would be facing wave after wave of bad news that further trashes their brand.

The thing about Walz is he was doomed immediately following the Vance debate.

The left put a political contract out on him and we’re seeing the machine take out their own trash.

They should go RICO against the entire state government. Subpoena all their person and political financial records. Bet you’ll find money laundering back to the politicians personal and political accounts.

Trump should ask for all the money back from the state of Minnesota. No more money from the Feds til it’s paid back.

Why didn’t anyone question the payouts? Don’t they ever audit?

Yup, this is pervasive and a lot of well connected Democrats are in on the grift

Somalis are as corrupt and criminal as they come but it takes smart insiders to set up the grift and launder the money. The Somalis and Haitians are just the face to face street operators who work with their community to steal, they have smart guys and pols getting their cut

Should also go after Mayor Frey too. I’m pretty sure that he is just as corrupt and America-hating as Walz.

In the video, the journo speaks with a man who says he has lived near a tax-subsidized Somali-run "daycare center" for eight years and claims he has not seen a single child enter the facility since 2017.
