Tim Walz Vows Not to Pardon the Somali Migrant Fraudsters He Enabled and Protected

There's some pretty stiff competition in the Democratic Party to become the worst politician in America, but right now, Tim Walz is the clear frontrunner for that title. As Townhall reported yesterday, Walz is elbows-deep in the massive fraud being perpetrated in his state, most of it from Somali immigrant nonprofit groups. A group of Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) workers called out Walz in a damning thread, saying he not only knew about the fraud on his watch but also worked to punish and silence whistleblowers.

Now Walz is doing what he does best: deflecting and blaming Trump in an effort to take some of the heat off of him.

Just to be clear: There will be no pardons for fraudsters in Minnesota. https://t.co/jKX4TAC0I9

Does that include you, Tim? Because many of these charges are federal, which means Walz couldn't issue pardons even if he wanted to (and let's be real — he'd pardon them if he could get away with it).

Just to be clear:

There’s an extremely strong case that you should go to prison for:

a) Fraud
b) Public Corruption
c) Obstruction of Oversight
d) Violating Whistleblower Protections

That's (D)ifferent, of course.

No, your activist judges just overturn the jury’s fraud convictions at will, retard. 🖕🏼 pic.twitter.com/dQ7UwHMDuy

A Hennepin County judge, Judge Sarah West, threw out a jury's guilty verdict in a $7.2 million fraud case, saying in her ruling that the state's case relied "heavily on circumstantial evidence" and that the state did not "exclude other reasonable, rational inferences."
