Following revelations of massive scandal, Minnesota Democrats are circling the wagons. Of course, the headline is government aid fraud; however, the political fraud runs much deeper. The real scandal is Democrats’ attempt to turn a light blue state deep blue at any cost.

Minnesota has seen several fraud allegations brought against the operation of federal programs there. Dating back to the pandemic, there were charges that $300 million had been fraudulently claimed by a nonprofit for feeding needy children; prosecutors claimed it was the largest pandemic scam. There have also been other scams involving autism and housing services.

The latest allegations center on fake claims for providing daycare services; HHS has suspended all childcare payments to Minnesota as it investigates these latest allegations.

Prior to the latest accusations of daycare fraud, federal prosecutors in separate instances have estimated the loss of federal taxpayer funds to fraud in Minnesota could range between $1 billion (earlier this summer) and $9 billion (earlier in December). Federal personnel from the FBI and DHS have been descending on the state as fraud allegations and estimated taxpayer losses mount.

Naturally, the question arises as to how fraud on such massive scales could have gone undetected by the authorities in Minnesota. After all, it was their own backyard, and their citizens were among those taxpayers getting fleeced.

And there were warning signs, both internal and external. Fox News
