Whistleblowers Say Tim Walz Is "100% Responsible" For the Massive Levels of Migrant Fraud in Minnesota

You know Somali fraud in Minnesota is huge when even the New York Times can't cover it up any longer:

Whistleblowers say they told Walz that Somalis were stealing the state -- and the federal government -- blind.

But Walz kept paying out to his foreign pirate voters anyway.

Walz then engaged in reprisals against the whisteblowers.

Tim Walz' own public servants are now breaking ranks and accusing the Democrat governor of presiding over what they describe as sweeping fraud inside the state's social services system -- and retaliating against the very people who tried to warn him. In a post on X Friday, a group identifying themselves as Minnesota Department of Human Services employees declared, "Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota," laying the blame squarely on the governor for what they call years of misconduct, mismanagement, and political protectionism.

The employees said they alerted Walz early about rampant abuse in the state's social programs, hoping he would help them clean it up. Instead, they say, he "did the opposite," unleashing what they call a "cascade of systemic failures" that included monitoring staff, issuing threats, and attempting to discredit reports that exposed wrongdoing. They allege agency leadership handpicked by Walz "willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet" and filled top posts with political allies who were "not qualified for their jobs." Staffers who witnessed or documented fraud were "shut down, reassigned and told to keep quiet," the statement said.

The employees publicly named several officials they say have been shielded from accountability: Shireen Gandhi, Jess Geil, Jodi Harpstead, Natasha Merz, and Eric Grumdahl. According to the whistleblowers, these officials helped bury fraud complaints rather than act on them -- a pattern they argue has cost Minnesota taxpayers millions and undermined trust in the state's largest agency.

Walz has pushed back on the criticism, telling The New York Times that his administration "erred on the side of generosity" during the pandemic and disputing claims that concerns about racial optics slowed the state's response. He pointed to more recent fraud-prevention efforts, though the employees say those steps came only after years of ignored warnings.

...

With no confidence left in the state's leadership, the whistleblowers say they are now appealing to federal authorities to intervene. "We can't fight fraud in Minnesota alone," they wrote -- a plea that signals just how deep they believe the rot runs inside the Walz administration.

The whistleblowers posted this public bill of indictment against Walz.

Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees @Minnesota_DHS

Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Walz, certain DFL members and an indifferent mainstream media. It's scary, isolating and left us wondering who we can turn to.

In addition to retaliating against whistleblower, Tim Walz disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and guidance. Media and politicians supporting Tim Walz or the DFL-agenda attacked whistleblowers who were trying to raise red flags on fraudulent activities.

This is a cascade of systemic failures leading up to Tim Walz. Agency leaders appointed by Tim Walz willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet - even to the extent of threatening families of whistleblowers. These same leaders are not qualified for their jobs, instead getting leadership jobs via Tim Walz's friendship so state government were left floundering. DFL lawmakers refused to acknowledge fraud and deflected any serious conversation to stop fraud. Biased mainstream media such as WCCO and MPR showed absolutely no interest in covering fraud happening in our own state.

Really. You don't say.

MPR is Minnesota Public Radio, I presume. You know, that crusading independent news source that farmers in the boonies rely upon exclusively to learn about their government.

Programs, especially in behavioral health and disability services were built without any guardrails against fraud, all in an attempt to extract more funding from legislature and the federal government.

As staff, we firsthand witnessed and observed fraud happening yet we were shutdown, reassigned and told to keep quiet. Sometimes more. Leadership did not want to appear to discriminate against certain communities and were unwilling to take action, such as stopping fraud, that would have an adverse impact on their image. To date, no single agency leader has been held responsible for their role in fraud whether it's Shireen Gandhi, Jess Geil, Jodi Harpstead, Natasha Merz, Eric Grumdahl or others.

It is a structure created and maintained by Tim Walz who has created an environment of inter-related agencies and institutions including the media - that help foster fraud through retaliation and turning a blind eye in exchange for political gain in the form of high power agency leadership jobs or other perks.

Fundamentally, Tim Walz is dishonest, lacks ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities, and has never taken any accountability for his role in fraud. Instead, Tim Walz deflects by blaming national politics for his own failings and distracts the public with inveterate lying. These lies include his reference of a budget surplus under his tenure. Fact is, Minnesota never had a surplus, we had been given federal ARPA funds that were conflated as surplus money otherwise, we'd be in a deficit. And those ARPA funds, which were meant to be temporary funds were used to create more leadership positions for Tim Walz "buddies."

As such, we can't fight fraud in Minnesota alone hence why we're appealing to the federal levels of government. We need all the help we can get as Tim Walz's agency leaders have upped their brazen approach in covering up their knowledge of fraud.

We are grateful to numerous solid politicians (esp the Fraud Committee) and media outlets who are trying to halt fraud. We are also grateful to other whistleblowers who are bravely stepping up.

Thank You NY Times for bringing the plight of Minnesota to the national stage.

Some say that the NYT gave their fellow leftwing propagandists permission to discuss the out-of-control foreign pirate plundering of Minnesota.

But CNN said, "Nah."
