‘Cascade Of Systemic Failures’: Minnesota State Employees Blast Walz For ‘Massive Fraud’ In Social Services
Daily Caller ^ | November 30, 2025 | Mark Tanos

Posted on 12/01/2025 4:45:54 AM PST by Red Badger

Minnesota state employees accused Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of bearing full responsibility for massive fraud that drained the state’s social services programs, claiming he retaliated against whistleblowers who tried to sound the alarm.

“Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota,” the employees wrote in a statement posted to social media. They described a “cascade of systemic failures” and alleged Walz “systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports.”

The accusations come as federal prosecutors pursue cases involving more than $1 billion in stolen taxpayer funds across three separate schemes. Prosecutors have secured 59 convictions so far in fraud tied to pandemic feeding programs, housing assistance and autism therapy services.

Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression,… https://t.co/cEtbnuKmgn

The whistleblowers claimed agency leaders appointed by Walz “willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet” and were “not qualified for their jobs, instead getting leadership jobs via Tim Walz’s friendship.” Staff who witnessed fraud were “shutdown, reassigned and told to keep quiet,” according to the statement.

The employees named several officials they say have escaped accountability, including Shireen Gandhi, Jess Geil, Jodi Harpstead, Natasha Merz and Eric Grumdahl.

Walz has denied that concerns about racism allegations slowed his administration’s response. He told the New York Times his administration “erred on the side of generosity” during the pandemic and pointed to new fraud prevention measures.

President Donald Trump has drawn national attention to the scandal, calling Minnesota “a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity” and Walz “seriously retarded” in a Truth Social post. Asked by reporters if he stood by the remark, Trump replied, “Yeah, there’s something wrong with Walz.”

“Do you stand by that claim of calling Tim Walz retarded?”@POTUS: “Yeah, there’s something wrong with Walz.” 🤣 https://t.co/pA9dcj0fNw pic.twitter.com/DPHhv3mRpb

The whistleblowers said they are now appealing to federal authorities for help. “We can’t fight fraud in Minnesota alone,” they wrote.

It’s all coming out, because the Democrats don’t want him to be a factor in 2028.

Walz has been the puppet in the pipeline for decades the democrats grooming takes time. Whitmer will never advance it is pretty obvious.

President Trump is correct about Waltz being retarded. I do not use the term, but it is fitting to describe Waltz that way. Amazing how he was elected twice as Governor.Makes the fraudulent election theory even that more plausible.

Message: According to Minnesota Dept of Human Service Employees Nov 30, 2025 Gov Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud. The employees described a “cascade of systemic failures” and allege Walz “systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and calculatedly discredited fraud reports.”

Federal prosecutors pursue cases involving more than $1 billion in stolen tax dollars in frauds tied to (a) pandemic children’s feeding programs, (b) housing assistance, (c) children’s autism therapy services (d) and prostitution rings involving children.

Gov Tim Walz know of these heinous frauds early on, yet Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, and repression.

It’s hard to argue that these things are “failures” when they so perfectly align with known agendas. These things are successes, not failures, to their perpetrators.

It’s hard to argue these are “failures” when they perfectly align with
known Democrat agendas. To Democrats these are proud successes.


Excellent point.

Good analysis. Aligns with one of the fundamental points of political analysis in the USA today: If the media is talking about a scandal involving a democrat, it’s because the democrat leadership wants him gone or neutralized and told them to make it happen. Otherwise it would be ignored and called a conspiracy theory if anyone brought it up.

I wouldn’t say it was failures.

I think it all went according to plan.

Trump is not wrong when he calls Walz "a retard" and states that "there's something wrong with him!"

Tim Walz's state was too fearful of being called "Racist!" by Somali fraudsters, disguised as as NGOs helping to "feed children" - and gave them the millions (if not billions).

"Feeding Our Future, the (SOMALI) nonprofit group that was the largest provider in the pandemic program, responded with a warning. In an email, the (SOMALI) group told the state agency that failing to promptly approve new applicants from 'minority-owned businesses' would result in a lawsuit featuring accusations of racism that would be “sprawled across the news.
