Minnesota Mom Says ‘Fraud Is Bad’ — Then Loses Breath and Abruptly Ends Speech During Press Conference
Mediaite ^ | Dec 31st, 2025 | Sean James

Posted on 12/31/2025 7:33:59 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

A Minnesota mom lost her breath and had to abruptly end her speech during a press conference on Wednesday that was organized after President Donald Trump’s administration paused federal child care funding.

The Department of Health and Human Services announced earlier on Wednesday that it was freezing all child care funding after independent journalist and YouTuber Nick Shirley reported that several Minnesota daycare centers were empty and appeared to be inactive — despite receiving millions of taxpayer dollars. A department official told ABC News it would release the funds “only when states prove they are being spent legitimately.”

In response, members of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s (D) office, as well as local child care center operators and parents, held a press conference.

The second speaker, local mom Deko Nor, introduced herself as a “parent who receives federal funding for childcare for [her] kiddo.”

“If childcare is cut, I am unable to work or go to school,” Nor said a moment later. “I understand fraud is bad—”

Nor then placed her right hand over her mouth and looked around the room. She then gasped for air as she moved her right hand down to her chest and shook her left hand, appearing visibly rattled.

“I can’t breath,” she appeared to say to the organizers behind her.

Nor then placed her left hand to her mouth, tried to gather herself for a moment, before turning and backpedaling away from the microphone.

“I can’t breath,”

I bet she has bad breath.

I see they’re bringing out their human shields. Has Keith Ellison has his head up his ass all this time?

She thought she wasn’t supposed to say, “Fraud is bad....”

She said the bad part out loud! Can’t be doing that in front of all these Americans.

**I didn’t hear the interview.
Did she actually say “I can’t ‘breath’”
or “I can’t breathe”?

Either way, it’s amusing. She needs to up her game on those essential lying skills.

She’s a MOM?

She looks like an elementary school kid herself.

And never forget, it was the uniparty CONGRESS that gave away the billions and billions year after year with no apparent strings or accountability. Wait until the other 49 states are added in as it will make the USAID fraud look like a wedding cake. This is but just one fraud scheme, one cannot imagine the totality of it.

And of course, by extension us taxpayers are paying for it. This is an example of how we got a $40,000,000,000,000 debt.

Just imagine if Elon Musk had total power with DOGE. He would have been able to audit California. Especially Social Security and Medicare.

Was she on a unicycle?

For some reason 🤔😞😔
I have a sudden urge
to fly an F-14 Tomcat

I think Iran has maybe
2-5 operational but since
they’re A models then that
means the TF-30s, so...

If she is not careful, she will end up being Seth Riched. And she could be if she is careful.
