Minnesota Gov. Walz compares Somali accountability to 'white men' committing crimes
Story by Danielle Shockey • 11h

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz pushed back on Friday against suggestions that the Somali community bears collective responsibility for a massive fraud scandal, drawing a sharp parallel to how society views crimes committed by white men.

The exchange occurred as Walz fielded questions regarding the state's ongoing investigation into alleged fraud schemes. Prosecutors have charged dozens of individuals—many within the local Somali community—accusing them of stealing nearly $1 billion in taxpayer funds meant for social service programs, including initiatives to feed children from low-income households.
 
During the press conference, a reporter pressed the governor on the community's role in the wake of the scandal. “Do you want to see more ownership and oversight from within the Somali community?” the reporter asked.
 

Walz rejected the premise of the question, arguing that criminal behavior shouldn't impugn an entire demographic.

“Look, it’s not law-abiding citizens. If that were the case, there’s a lot of white men should be holding a lot of white men accountable for the crimes that they have committed,” Walz said.

That response would seem to indicate he is running scared and is getting extremely desperate.

I have little doubt that a fair chunk of 'look the other way' money made it back to Tampon Tim and others of his ilk, whether routed through LLCs and such, or fed into campaign coffers and the like.

For the thieves, it's just the cost of doin' bid'ness.
