Minnesota Governor Tim Walz faced renewed scrutiny this week after comments he made regarding the ongoing fraud scandal in the state’s social services programs, in which he stated that “a lot of white men should be holding a lot of white men accountable for the crimes that they have committed.” During remarks addressing the widespread fraud involving members of the Somali community, Walz argued that these communities should “continue to educate folks about why they shouldn’t commit crimes,” suggesting such education should occur “both at home and at schools and in our society.”
The governor weakly contended that broad generalizations about entire communities were unfair, calling it “a pretty hard reach” to suggest that Somalis bore collective responsibility for criminal acts. Walz also criticized President Trump for amplifying the fraud allegations, stating that Trump “made it white hot and very dangerous” when addressing the issue publicly.
The controversy stems from investigations revealing approximately $1 billion in fraudulent payouts through Minnesota’s social services programs, with federal prosecutors indicating that 59 individuals have been convicted and 86 charged in connection with the schemes over the past few years. Conservative commentator Dennis Michael Lynch responded with a harsh ultimatum, posting that if Minnesota’s Somali population is not deported and Governor Walz and other officials are not indicted, then “this administration, the concept of ‘Make America Great Again,’ and the rule of law are all completely full of sh*t.” Lynch’s remarks came following a viral investigative video by independent journalist Nick Shirley alleging $110 million in additional fraud at childcare facilities across Minneapolis.
