DAVID MARCUS: Tim Walz's White guilt finally ends his career as Minnesota’s fraud explodes
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
In the fall of 2024, the governor of Minnesota was thrust into the national spotlight as Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris ’ "White guy tacos"-loving vice presidential nominee. But after a meteoric fall from grace, Coach Tim announced on Monday that he has danced his last political waltz.
Although he is not resigning from office — at least not yet — Gov. Tim Walz will not seek a third term leading the Gopher State. In the end, the massive scale of Somali fraud that went unchecked under his nose was just too much to recover from.
Bad news on the Somali front snowballed fast for Walz, with reports that as much as $9 billion — with a "b" — was pilfered by members of the migrant community, while the governor appeared to do little but protect the thieves.
Walz might have survived this embroglio had he taken it more seriously as the scandal broke, but the intrepid work of independent journalist Nick Shirley, whose shocking videos of empty daycare centers receiving millions from taxpayers, were likely the final straw.
In an interesting twist, Walz’s complete refusal to place any blame on the Somali community or its leaders may well have also played a key role in his political demise.
Voters I spoke with in Minneapolis just three weeks ago — especially White voters — also were extremely reluctant to place responsibility for fraud on the migrant community. That left one set of shoulders to bear the entire weight of the scandal: Tim Walz’s.
In his remarks Monday, Walz said that given the situation, he could not devote all his energy to a campaign. Of course, he blamed that on Republicans and racism — what else?
"We’ve got the president of the United States demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongly confiscating childcare funding that Minnesotans rely on. It is disgusting. And it is dangerous," Walz offered as an excuse for his own incredible failings.
Ultimately, Walz decided to blow up his political career rather than be accused of racism by accurately addressing the broad, systemic fraud rampant in Minnesota’s Somali community.

The clown show comes to an end. Even having the national media dutifully try and carry water for him by immediately using his talking point of Vance as "weird" couldn't help this guy stand up to actual scrutiny for a month. Once he faced scrutiny for the first time in his career, and not a state media that covered his ass, he got exposed and never really recovered.
And now, thanks to independent media, he and his pr team that is the Minnesota media can't censor all discussion of what his "governance" did to the state.
Remember when he was sold as a "moderate?" Pure gaslighting.
“Remember when he was sold as a "moderate?”
Poor lil tampon timmy. I remember a nt member saying he would make a great president because he’s a moderate lol.
Walz had quite a tenure. Didn't he preside over the deadly 2020 riots?
Does fraud bother Democrats, at all?
Does Trump pardoning numerous fraudsters bother you at all.
Donald Trump himself has committed fraud, tax fraud.

Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father - The New York Times
How the hell do you overlook the biggest fraud ever elected potUS ??
Did voting for a convicted felon not bother Republicans at all?
Why would it when his opponent committed the exact same felony (no, she actually violated campaign finance laws, it was worse) and wasn't indicted because a corrupt democratic partisan used the law a political weapon?
Joe Biden exists, or at least his body did, when he was elected.
Also, being a fraud personally is not the same as committing billions of dollars of criminal fraud.
Why do you care about Trump? Democrats stealing billions of taxpayer dollars doesn't bother you. Why should Trump' small potatoes? The IRS didn't have a problem with his returns.
The New York Times story from 2019 about the Trump family tax fraud is very convincing. They, as we say, have the receipts.
The IRS would have to explain why they didnt investigate it, but I suspect this sort of thing goes on a lot.
Fraud, small and large, occurs every day in this country. You people act like what happened in Minnesota is a unicorn.
It must be wild for those living in the MAGAverse, where up is down, conspiracy theories are all true, Democrats eat babies, Trump is a Saint and any political opponent who hasn't ever been convicted of ANY felonies let alone 34 of them is the real criminal! Seems like they might be spiking high colonics with LSD and making them mandatory in there. How else can we explain their massive numbers of conspiracy theorists who believe such crazy shit.
You mean somebody "convicted" of a misdemeanor that was past it's statute of limitations?
And yet after 10 years of investigating him, not a single charge for "fraud". Why is that?
An article in a blogger paper known to fabricate stories really doesn't mean a damn thing. Was it investigated? Were there charges filed? Was there a trial? No need to try to spin an answer, we know none of that happened.
