Walz the fraud
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has no disgrace — he beforehand referred to as allegations of fraud “white supremacy,” however now he claims that he was behind the efforts to root out fraud (“JD trashes Walz boast,” April 30).
On X he mentioned, “If you commit fraud in Minnesota you’re going to get caught. We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information.” The second half of that assertion is laughable.
