House Republican Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota accused the state’s Democratic Governor Tim Walz and leftist Attorney General Keith Ellison of covering up massive fraud committed by Somali immigrants so that they could retain that community’s vote in future elections.
In an interview with The Daily Wire’s “Morning Wire” on Wednesday, Emmer said that the best way to address rampant fraud in Minnesota would be to remove Walz, Ellison, and Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from office.
He argued that under Walz, the state government would continue to cover up fraud, a large percentage of which is allegedly committed by residents of Somali descent.
“Today there are roughly, by some estimates, about 80,000 Somali immigrants that are living in Minnesota,” Emmer told “Morning Wire.” “The vast majority of them live in Minneapolis or Hennepin County, an area called Riverside. There’s probably 50,000 to 60,000 of them right there.”

Ya think?
Which we all knew was happening anyways.
Democrats do do one thing well.
They’re good at election fraud, both by cheating and buying votes.
Covering up crime is SOP for Minnesota Demonicrats.

JMO, YMMV
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
FTA-——Democratic Gov Tim Walz and leftist AG Keith Ellison covered up massive Somali
fraud and hid it from taxpayers to both appease Somalis and to get their votes in future elections.
Politicians who hide public corruption from taxpayers face severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences, substantial fines, removal from office, and the forfeiture of retirement benefits. These penalties can be enforced through both the criminal justice system and administrative processes at the federal, state, and local levels.
Overview of Penalties
The specific penalties depend on the jurisdiction (federal or state) and the severity and nature of the underlying corrupt activity and the attempt to conceal it. Common penalties include:
Imprisonment: Corrupt officials can face significant jail time. For example, federal bribery convictions can carry a prison sentence of up to 15 years, while many state-level felonies for corruption can result in imprisonment for a range of years, sometimes up to 20 years.
Fines and Restitution: Officials may be ordered to pay substantial fines, often up to three times the amount of the pecuniary gain or loss caused by the crime. Restitution to the victims (the public) is also a possible remedy.
Removal or Forfeiture of Office: Conviction for certain ethics violations or corruption often results in the official being removed from their position or forfeiting their public office.
Loss of Benefits: Public officials may forfeit their government or public employment retirement benefits upon conviction for corruption.
Administrative Sanctions: Ethics commissions or legislative bodies can impose administrative penalties, such as monetary sanctions or public rebukes, even for minor violations.
Legal Basis for Penalties-—Failing to disclose corruption often falls under broader statutes related to:
Official Misconduct: Intentionally refraining from performing an official duty or performing an unauthorized act with the intent to obtain a benefit or injure the public.
Knowing Violation of Disclosure Requirements: Specific laws require public officials to disclose conflicts of interest and file complete and correct statements of economic interests. Intentionally failing to do so is often a criminal offense.
Perjury or False Statements: Lying to investigators, ethics commissions, or in official reports is a separate, serious crime.
Obstruction of Justice: Actively hiding evidence or influencing witnesses to conceal corruption can lead to additional severe penalties under obstruction statutes.
Honest Services Fraud: Federal laws target officials who defraud the public by failing to provide “honest services” through bribery or kickback schemes.
These penalties are designed to address the breach of public trust and serve as a deterrent against the abuse of public office for personal gain.

Somalis make up less than 1% of the Minnesota population yet they seem to virtually control the state's politicians. Heck, they even changed the state flag to copy the Somali flag .
Even considering the fact that the are a very closed community and that cluster together and have pretty much taken over parts of Minnesota's key cities this level of political clout is unprecedented and way out of proportion to their population.
It's almost as it the entire Minnesota state government is being run for the express benefit of the Somali immigrants
Something far more sinister is going on here than they are letting on to.
Nice deconstruction.......Somalis calculatedly got plenty of dirt on pols.....so there’s that.
The Somali voting block has far more voters than Somali citizens. They cheat in every way possible. In fact they cheat in several ways so if one way is found out its not enough to overturn an election. You add fake ballots And bring in none citizens. And play with the voting machines, and throw out ballots from districts that vote the wrong way. You do it all. And if something gets caught the question is always, “would it overturn the election and the answer is always no.” Good strategy Heh?
Agreed - Emmer has ZERO credibility on this since he was a “Somalia Caucus” founder back in 2015, along with AG Ellison. He’s merely positioning himself to be the last one eaten by the alligator that is this scandal.
It is pretty much the same deal in Minnesota. 80,000 votes can get a Republican elected in Saint Paul.
Emmer is as guilty as any of the demonRATs.
He may or may not have "dipped his beak" into the funds, but he knew about this scam 10 years ago and DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the Congress of the United States, which controls all of the money that goes to the States.
I have zero respect for this fat piece of minnyhaha pice of shit.
He is just a Fox TV whore, spouting his platitudes {and I won't be surprised if he is in on the graft}.
I saw no amazing insights from you so I thought I would chime in.

Democrats always get away with everything don’t they?
An earlier article reported that Emmer, in a town hall years ago, scolded a constituent present who complained of the Somali presence and the odds of fraud. Emmer doesn’t get a pass on this, and it seems he’s going all out to deflect any attention from that apparent Somali appeasement.
White guilt is powerful in the gutless Minnidishu “Lake Wobegon” NPR donating types. It just wasn’t fair their Scandinavian cultural traditions created a peaceful and prosperous state. Besides, they don’t live around them. They get to see all those exotic funny looking people in their flowery burkas. It feels SO GOOD to embrace the diversity.
Also, Lutheran Services has brought in billions of dollars facilitating the human trafficking. And for her efforts Jodi Harpstead was appointed to state government to make it official.
