    Is there actually any evidence of a “massive crime being committed” other than a right-wing youtube video?

    The department had not confirmed Shirley’s allegations of fraud at the time of this writing, nor could Snopes independently verify the figures his report used. Snopes also could not independently verify Shirley’s claims that the daycares committing fraud were run or owned by Somali Americans. https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/12/30/nick-shirley-minnesota-daycare-fraud/

    And, even starting on the assumption that this fraud was happening, why on Earth would that be Tim Walz fault? Is anyone claiming that he was in on it somehow? Was he running a fraudulent daycare? Or are gonna pretend like he’s to blame for something happening “on his watch” as if he’s some kind of omniscient deity?

    It’s not the Governors job to prosecute crimes, let alone somehow prevent them from happening in the first place.

    If a massive fraud was being committed, it would be up to the Minnesota or US AG to prosecute based on available evidence.
