Mother fucker is trying to take a victory lap but he’s forgetting this:
Didn’t Walz claim, on multiple occasions, that fraud was not occurring in his state?
Yes, Tim Walz and his administration repeatedly downplayed or denied evidence of large-scale fraud in Minnesota’s state programs (primarily welfare, childcare, and Medicaid-related), even as federal investigations and charges mounted.
Key Context on Walz’s Statements
• In late 2025, amid growing scrutiny (including a viral video highlighting apparently inactive or questionable childcare centers receiving substantial state/federal funds), Walz and state officials stated there was “no evidence” of fraud on the scale alleged (e.g., disputing claims of billions in improper Medicaid payments).
• State DHS officials and Walz pushed back against federal prosecutors’ estimates (such as up to $9 billion in potential Medicaid fraud), arguing the figures were overstated and that prior investigations at specific sites found no fraud.
• Walz’s office emphasized ongoing efforts to combat fraud (audits, investigators, program shutdowns) while framing aggressive criticism as politicized or exaggerated.
