What Separates Tim Walz From Other Democrats Is He Got Caught
The Federalist ^ | January 06, 2026 | Eddie Scarry

That Tim Walz is abandoning his reelection campaign for Minnesota governor amid a maddening multibillion-dollar welfare fraud scandal should serve as a big reminder: Democrats are robbing you every day and hardly even trying to hide it.

Recall Walz as the stereotypical self-abasing Democrat white male, presumably heterosexual, who was inexplicably chosen to be Kamala Harris’ running mate in the 2024 election. His stint in that role was the equivalent of a 300-pound belly flop into a pool full of sand, with memorable moments like when he said he rode his bicycle as a child and was “proud of that service” or otherwise was proven to have lied when he referred to “the weapons of war that I carried in war.” (He never saw combat.)

Now, however, Walz is most known as the Minnesota governor who oversaw and enabled a years-long scam in which Somalis occupying large swaths of his state were pocketing hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars with fake child care and health care operations that provided no services to anyone at all. The scheme was uncovered mostly through federal prosecutions, which were then covered by our dying national news media. But most devastating for Walz and the state’s whole government was a 45-minute video produced by a 23-year-old YouTuber who demonstrated just how brazen the fraud was by simply knocking on “child care center” doors — only to be greeted by savage Somalis who spoke next to no English and had no kids inside.

The mass fraud was made possible by obscene welfare programs that Democrats like Walz — especially Walz — champion in order to lock in votes from impoverished foreigners and otherwise ne’er-do-wells who have no interest in working. “We have...”

He blew the Harris ticket up debating Vance.

This is a hit job.

My guess is he got caught because he has a room temperature IQ. He made it as far as he did because political life is easy for a Democrat. Everyone in the media is willing to carry a Democrat’s water. Fellow travelers will clear the way and live well of the droppings.

Meanwhile, Republicans have a much harder time, and I think it means the survivors are smarter, quicker on their verbal feet and generally better candidates. There have been notable exceptions, but I think those are because they hang on long past their Bestby date.

Correct. One could plausibly argue that Harris is as smart or smarter than the average Somalian. However the evidence shows that Walz is not.

He is now apparently threatening to deploy the National Guard to remove ICE agents from Minnesota.

There is a lot more to go here.

Tim Walz’s Minnesota is just the roll out customer because the fraud in Minnesota is so pervasive and there is a decade of people in government and law enforcement actively ignoring the fraud and trying to cover up the fraud and intimidate people who tried to blow the whistle on the fraud.

“The mass fraud was made possible by obscene welfare programs that Democrats...”

Oh please media, that’s all the MSM and most outlets report on this story - the state level. The original real fraud is the congress tossing out tens of billions in the first place in bill after bill, year after year. Half of congress should be dropped of in Somalia too, give them an abacus and count to $40,000,000,000,000 to pass the time.

Also he is considered to be expendable by the DNC.

What separates Tampon Timmy from every other human being is his jazz hands.

"He's a show tunes lover, Jim."

Watch out, he’ll ride you harder than you’ve ever been ridden. I love Gutfeld. He did a great segment on that last night.
