400 Minnesota state employees turn on Gov. Tim Walz over his $1 billion Somali fraud scandal
American Thinker ^ | 12/01/2025 | Monica Showalter

How bad is the Somali fraud scandal, in which the State of Minnesota allowed Somalis to rip off the system to the tune of $1 billion, some of them using the cash to bankroll Al Shabaab terrorism?

This bad: Minnesota's largely Democrat bureaucrats are publicly blaming Walz.

According to Fox News:

More than 400 employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) accused Gov. Tim Walz of failing to act on widespread fraud warnings and retaliating against whistleblowers.

The Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account, which says it consists of more than 480 current staff members at the Minnesota DHS, wrote on X that 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, and did his best to discredit fraud reports," the group claimed. "In addition to retaliating against whistleblower[s], Tim Walz disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and guidance."

When was the last time you ever saw anything like that? It had to have been bad -- and it was bad, according to a report in the New York Times, which was also unprecedented:

New York Times Excerpt:

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/us/fraud-minnesota-somali.html

Mr. Thompson, a career prosecutor who served as interim U.S. attorney for several months this year, and who declined to discuss his own political preferences, said he believed that race sensitivities had played a major role in the rise of fraud. As pandemic assistance was disbursed, the state was also reeling from the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer in May 2020, he said.

“This was a huge part of the problem,” Mr. Thompson said during an interview in the summer. “Allegations of racism can be a reputation or career killer.”

This is interesting because I’m pretty confident that the vast majority of those state employees vote dem.

“Allegations of racism can be a reputation or career killer.”

The Just Us Brothers made well off on that scam.

The DEMOCRAT Vice President candidate. Make that seditious party own this. Fleecing America is their funding stream. Crying rascism is the vehicle they drive, everywhere, all the time.

We all knew Sergeant Minor Walz was a scumbag when he decided to run for office with a non-American Jamaican/Indian/Canadian. He’s a FAR-LEFT fruitcake ballerina. And he love Sammies who murdered American soldiers, set them on fire and dragged them through the streets of Somalia before hanging their corpses from bridges. Walz is a little commie pig.

There needs to be a full Federal investigation, given the $$$Billion tax dollar fraud.
This is the MO used by Democrats..... and VP wannabe Walz..... to pocket kickbacks.

Message: This must be prosecuted.......conniving Minnesota Somali community members collude in complex schemes related to tax-paid autism services, food programs, and housing, which prosecutors estimate stole billions of tax dollars. Even worse, some of the taxpayers’ cash ended up in the hands of Al-Shabaab, a terrorist organization............ in Somalia.

If you’re a fan of Tiny Timmy Walz and his Traveling Ballerina Show, I’d like to suggest you rewatch “Blackhawk Down”. Sammies are “his people” now.

The Democrats are probably trying to get ahead of this scandal so that they have time to put up another candidate to go against Walz in the primary, or get him to decline to run for re-election.

Suicidally empathetic white progressives are destroying civilization. The same attitude allowed rape gangs in the UK, violent black criminals with 50 arrests killing people on subways, and the importation of millions of violent illegal aliens in to every white Christian nation.

Taxpayers should be white hot broiling angry about this. Then the damn judges let them off for it. Don’t tolerate this. The feds should get involved since it’s federal money being stolen.

. . . and the Somalis who benefited from the squad should either volunteer for deportation and denaturalization or join Walz in the hoosegow.

It is incredible that the Dems were running this man to be the Vice Presidential candidate, only one year ago.
Do you mean to tell me, nobody in the Dem Party knew anything about how corrupt Waltz is or how badly he has been doing his job as Governor and fiscal gatekeeper of public funds?

Nobody bothered to dig a little bit deeper than what the Gov. or his wife told them.
Somebody should ask Kamala whether or not she is ‘surprised’ or troubled at this development to a man who was planning to serve under her leadership and guidance?
