Politicians took to social media Saturday to criticize Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after a viral video raised questions about a Minneapolis daycare center that allegedly received millions of dollars in state funding despite appearing largely inactive.
Responding to an X post highlighting allegations of Somali Medicaid fraud and voter fraud in the state, Vice President JD Vance described the situation as "a microcosm of the immigration fraud in our system."
"Politicians like it because they get power. Welfare cheats like it because they get rich," Vance wrote. "But it's a zero sum game, and they're stealing both money and political power from Minnesotans."

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., demanded Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz be "held accountable."
"Folks need to be arrested and prosecuted and the Governor of Minnesota needs to be held accountable," Lawler posted to X on Saturday. "Congress should hold a hearing immediately and start getting answers."
A 42-minute video posted to X and YouTube on Friday by independent reporter Nick Shirley shows Shirley and another man visiting several childcare centers in the blue state, including a location on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis.
The footage shows no visible activity at the site, which displays a misspelled sign that says "Quality Learing Center," even though the center is reportedly supposed to account for 99 children and received roughly $4 million in state funds.
