Walz, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee, cited heightened attention on fraud allegations in Minnesota

Late last month, a video from right-wing influencer Nick Shirley went viral, alleging fraud at child care facilities in Minnesota. After the video went viral, the Department of Health and Human Services announced it would freeze all federal child care payments to the state. Days later, Minnesota’s Department of Children, Youth, and Families said that investigators found the child care facilities in question “were operating as expected.”

“the political gamesmanship we’re seeing from Republicans is only making that fight harder to win. But as I reflected on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I can’t give a political campaign my all,” he said. “Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences.”

    This is the point. Same how AI videos about crowd in Venezuela cheering right now are making the rounds on social media, same how it was claimed that Bernie hates disabled people, even though his political hero is someone who was in a a wheelchair, how there were stories about Marianne Williamson shitting on AIDS patients, even though she was one of the few voices speaking for the HIV patients in the 80s. Politics is a dirty game, played by a lot of dirty rotten bastards.
