Confederacy of Enablers Downplays Somali Fraud
Minnesota Democrats more focused on photo ops than accountability for billions vanishing in massive statewide fraud schemes.

Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan serves as the unwitting mascot for civic leaders. Her priority? She is more focused on photo ops than accountability for billions vanishing in massive statewide fraud schemes.

She is known for her fashion stunts, which have become her personal optic of choice. This time, she recently wore a black hijab -- the safest Muslim color -- as a gesture she framed as “solidarity” with the Somali community being accused of the massive fraud.

Solidarity can be charming, but Flanagan’s performance ignored a far more combustible reality: taxpayer outrage. Minnesotans were witnessing what investigators have described as an "industrial-scale” fraud in real time. And asking what had become of accountability from their civic leaders.

How could $9 billion vanish into a black hole of corruption? The sheer scope and duration of what were, in many cases, absurdly amateurish schemes really struck a raw nerve with the public.

I've always felt, like democrats, welfare loafers should be allowed to commit crimes to make up the difference between taxpayers supporting them and what they could earn if they worked.

...could find herself sitting in the governor's chair soon, if events keep transpiring as they have...
