Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz bragged about making it easier for people to get into the child care business during last year’s vice presidential debate with JD Vance, awkward resurfaced footage shows — as the state’s Somali immigrant community has been accused of bilking millions of dollars in aid meant for day care centers.
“We have to make it easier for folks to be able to get into [the child care] business and then to make sure that folks are able to pay for that. We were able to do it in Minnesota,” Walz said on stage as he proposed a federal paid family medical leave program.
The debate clip resurfaced following a mega-viral video from independent journalist Nick Shirley that exposed the vast scale of alleged fraud in the North Star State.
Many of the child care centers he visited had their doors shuttered despite receiving millions in aid from the state over the last several years, records reportedly show — including a day care with a misspelled sign that got $4 million in taxpayer money despite being empty.
The video prompted a response from FBI Director Kash Patel, who claimed yesterday the allegations were “just the tip of a very large iceberg” as he threatened convicted Somali scammers with denaturalization and deportation.
Critics were quick to drag Walz for the resurfaced debate comments.
“Yes Tim, you sure did make it easy for people to open childcare businesses. They don’t even need to provide childcare to get paid,” one person wrote on X, alongside the clip.
“Tim Walz was saying the quiet part out loud… If we only knew then what we know now,” another chimed in.

Midterms will be fun. Just play the democRats talking about what they did
Walz previously addressed the alleged fraud at a press conference in November, before the full scale of the purported abuse came to light.
How do we help the reporter that keeps this in the spotlight?

I need my own NGO.
Meanwhile, Bannon with the ultimate limited-hangout immigration guest on this morning, pitching that we need to stop immigration—not that we have to expel the upwards of 60 million illegals here presently.
That’s what this Somali focus is being used for.
THE IQ OF A CHICKEN
I have friends in MN who were telling me the exact same thing.
Apparently it was common knowledge in MN if you wanted to get rich, start a NGO
Minnesota does not have term limits and Walz has already announced his plans for a 3rd term as governor:
“Walz has confirmed his intention to run for re-election in 2026, officially announcing his campaign on September 16, 2025.”
Wonder what his chances are now? Wouldn’t be surprised if he is re-elected.
I wonder if anyone else noticed the flash of anger when he “retreived” his son from the lectern. Bicep grab a little tight and an angry eye look.
Will never forget it.
There aren’t enough leftist votes to keep these scumbags in office, the illegals provide the votes needed to keep them in power
They misspelled Nicollet also.
LOL...good catch! I took many business trips to Nicollet Mall and missed that.
From another post on these scumbags from Somalia: “There are 539 childcare centers in Washington state that list Somali as the primary language. Most don’t even give a street address.”
They should send them ALL back where they came from.

Waltz was elected VP
The powers that are, offed Kamala
Waltz becomes President
“Midterms will be fun. Just play the democRats talking about what they did”
If only that were true. The democrat voters LOVE when their politicians perpetrate crime and corruption. Ted Kennedy was beloved. Ilhan Omar witll be cheered for her crimes. Remember William Jefferson (democrat, Louisiana) used national guard rescue resources to get $50,000 of bribe money from his freezer after Hurricane Katrina? He received a standing ovation as a keynote speaker to the NAACP.
And just think: Walz could have been one overdose away from the Presidency if Junkie Jezebel won the election.
