Ohio GOP lawmakers seek day care fraud investigation after viral claims
The Columbus Dispatch ^ | Dec. 30, 2025 | Cole Behrens

Some GOP Ohio lawmakers are calling for their fellow Republican state officials to investigate unproven claims spreading on social media about fraud among Columbus-area day cares.

But Republican Gov. Mike DeWine's office says attempts to defraud publicly funded day care are not new and the state already has safeguards in place to catch it.

The claims began to circulate after a viral video allegedly showing abandoned day cares among the Somali immigrant community in Minnesota led to a response from Vice President J.D. Vance, an Ohio native, and the FBI "surging" resources to investigate, according to USA TODAY.

"unproven claims"

Standard boiler-plate Democrat Gaslight Media phrasing.

We saw it with Covid, and with the stolen national "election" in 2020.

For decades, the structure of US society, by intent and design, was remade to redistribute wealth, resources, property and opportunity from Americans to non-Americans.

These looted assets were then used to finance the Democrat Party and all its subsidiary schemes and structures.— Stephen Miller (@StephenM) December 30, 2025

“...attempts to defraud publicly funded day care are not new and the state already has safeguards in place to catch it.”

Catch what? If there’s nothing there and can’t be, then why are they trying to stop an investigation to prove that as much as wrongdoing? If it was honest, then they have nothing to fear and an investigation will prove that and make them heroes for having something in place to stop the fraud if it existed. Anyone play poker? It’s called calling the bluff.

At this point, I am 100% certain that the magnitude of the fraud in federal entitlements (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Disability, etc) exceeds the combined sum of every private scam you’ve ever heard by FAR.

It’s not even close.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 11, 2025

federal entitlements

Interfere with my right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness with no recourse to stop them? Feed the Somalis. Feed the Gazans.

If it’s a government state or federal program dealing with money involved nobody checks for loop holes because they want into the deal too.

It’s a greater high than nose candy and lasts longer.

These lawmakers need to rent a van and go visit these facilities.
Rent a second van for some reporters to tag along.

The pattern is consistent -- establishment Republicans consistently downplay and protect corrupt Democrats from being held accountable for their corruption.

It's more evidence there is a uniparty that is the enemy of the people.

It would be very helpful if there were enough elected Republicans willing to hold Democrats accountable. But, doesn't appear to be the case sort of like there were with George Santos.

“unproven claims”

Yes. If they were proven, they wouldn’t be claims.

If Cole Behrens was Nick Shirley, instead of a stinking Media gaslighter POS, and probably a Democrap - they'd most likely be proven...

Don't look for any exposure of Democrap graft on Behrens' watch. Smears about Trump and MAGA?

All day long...
