Minnesota government workers blame Walz for 'massive fraud' amid allegations against Somali community

  • Fox blasts “Somali fraud” and soft-on-crime Walz to fire you up against immigrants. Real goal: get you begging for bigger government to “fix” it.

  • Both parties let fraud explode for years, but Fox only points only one way. Classic move: keep us hating each other while the swamp laughs.

  • Be cautious of mainstream news seeking to antagonize both sides.
