JD Vance rips Tim Walz for taking credit after Trump admin’s Minnesota fraud crackdown

  • Vice President JD Vance criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for taking credit for federal raids on Somali-linked establishments involved in welfare fraud, stating Walz provided little help and likening him to an arsonist claiming credit for firefighters' work.
  • Federal agents raided over 20 locations, including the 'Quality Learing Center,' as part of a federal investigation into an alleged multi-billion dollar welfare fraud scheme involving Somali-owned businesses in Minnesota.
  • Governor Walz claimed state agencies detected and reported the fraud, leading to joint state and federal law enforcement raids, and announced his withdrawal from the governor's race amid the scandal.
  • An estimated $9 billion was stolen from Minnesota welfare programs, prompting President Trump to end Temporary Protected Status for Somalis; the federal anti-fraud task force has had unprecedented success exposing fraud nationwide.
