“Nothing to See Here”: Democrats Pretend That Somali Fraud Isn’t Somali Fraud

According to Democrats and their favorite media megaphones, the billions in taxpayer dollars allegedly siphoned off through Somali fraud schemes are all just a big misunderstanding. Definitely not a pattern. Definitely not worth asking questions or investigating further. And absolutely not connected to the Somali community at large. And if YOU say that they are, you are a racist.

Yes, apparently, pointing out who’s actually running the alleged scams is far more offensive than the scams themselves and the stealing billions of our tax money.

The Dems say that Minnesota’s sprawling Somali pandemic fraud schemes [1], the day care fraud and other frauds uncovered recently are just a misunderstanding – and definitely not tied to Democratic Governor Tim Walz either – or Minnesota’s Muslim Attorney General Keith Ellison.

To the Democrats, it’s absolutely not worth noticing who was involved in all the fraud or who looked the other way. No, that is offensive and racist according to the Dems and all of their followers on X.

Meanwhile, federal prosecutors push on with investigations and independent journalists like Nick Shirley [4] are needed to uncover fraud because the mainstream media (Democrats) refuse to do it.

The preferred talking point of the Democrats and their media allies? “Don’t stigmatize communities.”

And please don’t notice that “oversight” agencies approved reimbursements that defied basic math. But let’s be honest. There WAS NO OVERSIGHT ON PURPOSE. Dems wanted taxpayer dollars going to their buddies. That’s the game they play all the time, in every community, in every state, with every grant that they hand out that comes from the federal government or anywhere else.

Even as federal charges pile up and Somali criminals are thrown in jail, Democrats rush to insist this isn’t fraud – or even if it is, we shouldn’t condemn a whole community for it – even though that community is the one doing the fraud.

Meanwhile, whistleblowers, investigators, and independent journalists keep pulling thread after thread – and the sweater keeps unraveling. And it doesn’t look like it’s just happening in one state either.

This isn’t about race. It’s about responsibility. And it’s definitely about Democrats and what they do to game the system in order to pay off their friends to help them win elections.

This is about a political class more worried about optics than oversight – and more offended by questions than by the disappearance of billions in public funds.
