Republican narrative

Minnesota's fraud scandal likely is the largest in U.S. history, with billions funneled through fraudulent operations that can't even spell "learning" correctly on their signs. While an influencer in a single day of investigation uncovered over $110 million in apparent fraud at empty facilities, Walz provided years of cover as whistleblowers were silenced.
