MS NOW's Mara Gay: Somalis Being 'Scapegoated' Over Minnesota Fraud!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelsein

Posted on 12/30/2025 10:01:26 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Scapegoat [verb]: To blame a person or thing for something bad that someone else has done. -- Cambridge University dictionary [emphasis added.]

It was a breathtaking bit of brazen blame-shifting.

On Monday's Morning Joe, Mara Gay, a MS NOW analyst and member of the New York Times editorial board, claimed that Somalis in Minnesota are being "scapegoated" over the massive social program fraud that has taken place on Governor and former Kamala running mate Tim Walz's watch.

Some old playbook

from 2019
Gov. Walz on Somali childcare fraud in 2019:
“We can do better, but what needs to stop is demonizing the community involved in this”

Okay, so name the other criminals involved, Gay.

If these Somali’s were wearing maga hats they wouldnt be saying this, but lets just get to the bottom line. The left didnt import these people into our country to make it better, NO, they imported them here for VOTES and thats ALL that matters..PERIOD..VOTES..VOTES and POWER thats ALL that matters to them. So yes, let them commit fraud, who cares, they ALL have daycare centers, because hey doesn’t everyone! Just as long as they vote Democrat who cares!

While the Minnesota Somalis are having their 15 minutes of fame, here is what their Somali Bros doing back home-—

“”””What to know about pirates off the Somali coast who have hijacked a tanker

By OPE ADETAYO
Updated 10:39 AM EST, November 7, 2025

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Pirates off the coasts of Somalia have hijacked a commercial vessel for the first time in 18 months, raising fears of a resurgence of armed attacks along the coasts of Somalia.

This week, the pirates have launched multiple attacks against vessels before successfully boarding the Malta-flagged Hellas Aphrodite, which was en route to India from South Africa and ferrying gasoline, according to the ship’s owner, Latsco Marine Management Inc. EU Naval reached the ship on Friday and found all crew members safe.

If they did what they are accused of they are not a scapegoat. Further proof that the lamestream is not that bright.

That’s exactly what’s going on in Minnesota, California, New York, Illinois, and other blue controlled states.

Actually, I believe it is Minnesotans being scapegoated by their state government. The Somalians are just knowing pawns in this. The state gets the money and gives the “Somalians” some of that.

I don’t think that she really means to say ‘scapegoat’. The implication of her use of that term is that there is rampant fraud happening all over, for which _only_ the Somalis are being blamed.

So Mara: who’s REALLY committing the fraud if you think (wrongly, of course) that the Somalis are innocent??
