Brian and Jen Wagner got into a verbal spat with the Somali family in the suburb of Shakopee, Minnesota, this week.

The family claimed they were accosted out of the blue while looking through the neighborhood, with video showing Brian Wagner told them: 'Nobody wants you here.'

'Not a single person here wants you,' he added, the footage shows. 'I can smell you from here.'

He then appeared to reference ongoing fraud investigations in Minnesota that have been connected to the Somali community, as he questioned: 'Where’d you get your money for the house? All you do is steal.'

A woman filming the hostile encounter then fired back: 'Worry about your own money. You're sad as f***.'

'Oh my god get a petition or something. Why are you guys so worried? Why are you so oppressed? Nobody bothered you guys, you guys decide to be in people’s business,' she said.

After the footage circulated across social media and sparked backlash from Minnesota politicians, the Wagners said through their attorney that the video was taken out of context and insisted they were not racist.

You’re right to hate them.

'Not a single person here wants you,' he added, the footage shows. 'I can smell you from here.'

Both true.

Most likely.

“What’s wrong with being racist?”

YES. I am not getting to that point. I AM at that point.

What’s wrong with being racist, indeed?
Not all cultures are equal. The west is the best.

Reminds me of the Vladimir Lenin Quote

'Where’d you get your money for the house?"

Only the IRS is allowed to ask that question.

It took a decade for a way for democrats to turn it into a cash laundry machine. If you don’t like Somali fraud, thank George W. Bush and Republicans.

I have to thank Republicans for democrats and Somalians committing fraud? That doesn't make any sense.

The Left will never drop the race card...

They didn’t just move there. They were sent and installed there by the OBiden FraudMeisters... in cahoots with Walz.

The rats needed mercenaries. The somalis were for sale.

It’s not just Somalians. I don’t want any 3 worlder or ghetto rats in my neighborhood. No Euro trash either.

[jeffc]

“drop” = “stop using”

[blackdog]

Republican administrations made the programs to bring Somalians to Minneapolis just after the "Blackhawk Down" mess.

This tribalism BS has to end. Or we will just be tribes.

The result was foretold in the biblical story of The Tower of Babel.

Actually, the Somali hoard ...
