VP Vance Says Tim Walz Should Resign Over Minnesota Welfare Fraud Scandal

Vice President JD Vance says embattled Minnesota Governor Tim Walls should resign. >> Vance accuses him of failing to address what he calls quote widespread welfare fraud. This is him on Fox News. What's going on in Minneapolis, I think, is actually representative of a broader fraud scheme that we're going to see all over the country. We're going to see it in California. We're going to see it in other places, too, where people get rich from the American taxpayer. The Somalian fraud, for example, daycare fraud. You've got Americans. We've got programs set up to make it easier for Americans to get their kids in daycare so they can have proper child care. You take that money and you siphon it off to Somalian fraudsters. That's a double theft. Number one, that means a lot of American families can't afford their child care. Number two, that means a lot of American taxpayers are being fleeced. It's totally unacceptable. >> Vance says federal investigators are going to get to the root of the problem. The vice president says anyone found to be involved will be prosecuted. The allegations come as federal authorities expand investigations into benefit programs across multiple states. >> Vance also criticized the high number of welfare recipients in the Somalian community. He says about 85% of Somalians in the US collect some form of welfare. Vance says those high numbers show a problem with vetting. >> Governor Walls is pushing back on claims he's turned a blind eye to the fraud allegations. In multiple statements, Walls said his administration has been confronting the issue.
