MS NOW Host Downplays $1 Billion Minnesota Somali Welfare Fraud as 'Isolated'

On Saturday's edition of MS NOW's The Weekend, co-host Jackie Alemany, discussing the huge Feeding Our Future welfare fraud conducted by Somalis in Minnesota, prompted Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to discuss how President Trump's criticism is just another outbreak of bigotry.

She "explained" in her question to Ellison that Trump has " historically used isolated instances to justify this language of bigotry and paint with extremely broad brushstrokes and make these generalizations. He has honed in on this investigation into Feeding Our Future, which your office actually prosecuted." That is false. It was a federal prosecution.

Then she made it worse: "I'm wondering if you can set the record straight here, and talk a little bit about this investigation and what it entailed, and how isolated it actually was."

“Isolated” fraud, “mostly peaceful” riots. Minneapolis sounds great!

[BradyLS]

1) The President is talking about fraud in the billions.

2) This just clues me that the fraud is rampant all across the US. The bluer the state, the worse it is.

[GranTorino]

Look at Ohio next.

[cnsmom]

Minnesota and Wisconsin used to be wonderful states now they are shitholes.

[mewzilla]

Could be as much as $8 billion...

Yeah sure…just this once. Won’t happen again. Our bad.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Yikes!

[DeplorablePaul]

Yep. A oft used tactic of the left is to minimize the negative. A billion plus fraud in a small state like MN means that almost every Abdirahim, Abyan and Ilan was in on it. No doubt Ellison was in on it too. He’s going down.

[Political Junkie Too]

I read earlier that there are 59 federal convictions. 86 people were charged so far, all but 8 are Somalis.

That's some "isolation" going on there: 59 convictions and 86 charged people.

She takes a good photo for an Apparatchik , too bad she works for Satan.

There are billions of reasons why 21 states are refusing to cough up their SNAP data.

Billions...

[Kudsman]

The Radditz routine. Do you hear yourself Martha????

[mewzilla]

And don’t forget about the bureaucracy funded by SNAP.

I just tried to get a headcount to find out how many people administrate the program here in NYS.

The state makes that info impossible to find.

I’d really like to know how many.

Note to anyone from the admin lurking...

How about making transparency on the state and local level a requirement for getting federal money?

And then end the federal program and give the responsibility back to the states, where it belongs.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

It’s what you can’t see that’s the problem: the chancres, vaginal warts, lesions, and streams of dripping sallow discharge.

[Salman]

So how many times does a billion dollar welfare fraud (in aid of foreign terrorists) have to happen before the problem is bad enough to do something about it?

[Bernard]

“Not only is this normal, it’s the way it should be!!!!!”

[cnsmom]

But I adore Door County Wisconsin.

If you wonder how all these SJWs with college degrees find jobs, look no further than government-fueled fraud.
