Democrat political campaigns are largely funded by taxpayer funds which have been illegally misappropriated.

If they can actually recover some of it I’d be really impressed. Even 10% of it would be a win.

Omar for sure received $30 million and her other friendly Reps received about the same. Klobuchar and her friends came out way ahead. Then comes Walz and his entourage filling their pockets. Next in line is Keith Ellison, AG, who quit the Church to become a muslim which greased the skids for his bountiful harvest to manage the billions of dollars and to buy the right people. They are all dirty down to the Minneapolis dog catcher.

“”” “Under Governor Tim Walz, billions of dollars intended for families in need, housing for disabled seniors, and services for children were diverted to benefit fraudsters.”””


And the money was also diverted to MN govt employees handing out those billions.

From another thread here is one of those employees at Hennepin County.

“”””“County worker Kristin Peter, 30, who was also at the vigil, said Renee was on the same ICE Watch team as one of her coworkers, and that she herself was attending a meeting of the group Thursday night.””””

And this is where she works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just heard Bessent say on FOX that if we stopped all of the welfare fraud, increasing defense spending by 50% would be covered.

This is why the Renee Nicole Good case is being hyped up to the maximum extent the MSM-Democrats can manage.

Yup.
Democrats have gotta do everything to distract attention from Somali fraud in Minnesota.
Not going to work.

Treasury Secretary Bessent announcing tonight from Minnesota:

Starting tomorrow, if you’re on public assistance, you can’t wire money out of the country.

Treasury is derailing the gravy train to Somalia.
