House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, one of Washington’s top-ranking Republicans, says he is open to legal action against Minnesota’s Democrat leaders following the viral release of a video alleging fraud in state-funded day care centers.
Appearing on Fox News’ “Fox Report Weekend” on Sunday, Emmer praised YouTube content creator Nick Shirley’s recent report, which alleges that several state-funded day care and learning centers, largely operated by immigrants from Somalia, do not provide legitimate services.
(Snip) “Whistleblowers are coming forward,” said Emmer, who added that he would support the prosecution of Walz and Ellison if there was documented evidence of their retaliation against whistleblowers.

Commiecrats afraid that they'll be connected to the fraud. Republicans afraid that they'll be expected to do something about it.

Typical politician. Sees which way the crowd is going, runs around front, and pretends he's leading.

No - this is happening in every state - there is zero oversight -- congress has to go and we need to re-elect a new batch. Too bad there isn't a mechanism to disband congress and elect a clean slate of representatives & senators.

So this Emmer is from Minnesota and is one the most high ranking republicans in the House and the immediate question comes to mind - Was he aware of this open and massive fraud that was ongoing for years in his home state? If he claims ignorance
He is either a complete moron or he is lying and benefitted in some way from the fraud. Is there a list of his campaign donors and are there any Somali doors or Somali linked organizations who donated. This Emmer had to know what was going on!

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer represents Minnesota. He admits that he knew about the Somali fraud schemes for at least ten years but did nothing about it. Frankly, I doubt that he's going to do anything about it now.

Shirley and his crew have already provided all the documented evidence that is needed. Empty building, hostile Somali attendant, locked doors. A quick glance at their books, if they even kept books, would show fake attendance and regular income.

Please tell me Representative Emmer, how long did you know this was going on. Do not tell me you just found out about this because I'm going you that it is BULL. It seems that when it hit the internet you suddenly woke up from your deep sleep and started demanding answers from Tampon Tim. I'm not buying this. You own this mess almost as much as the Governor.

Let’s get to the heart of the problem.
And that is that the democrats have been importing unassimilable third world populations here so they can get them on the dole and then have them vote democrat. That needs to stop immediately. Then we can make transportation arrangements to get these blood sucking parasite somalis the hell out of the country.

Number 3 is correct. We need to re-boot our cogress like a computer and get rid of the corrupt politicians.

Some are benefiting from the money laundering, and some are just now realizing that they have not fulfilled their role as oversight of taxpayer funds.

Prior to 2025:
1. Massive food stamp fraud.
2. Massive Medicare/Medicaid fraud.
3. Massive Obamacare fraud.
4. Pentagon fails budget audit multiple times.
5. HUD has no idea where all their money went.
6. House sets up slush fund to pay off victims sexually harassed by members of Congress.
"Shakes Capitol Hill" - I doubt it. Business as usual.

Emmer was told what had been going on in Minnesota. Emmer ignored it, and called the messengers racists. Emmer should be let go!

It's not just Congress that needs a new batch. The state and municipal governments (and governor's mansions) are rotten to the core. Look at any blue state and they're in on the corruption. These Augean stables need a serious cleansing.

Emmer is blowing smoke up our ass.
He isn't going to do one damned thing.
As a Republican he is just another coward that found a home and a full salary in Congress for doing NOTHING.

In yesterday's episode of the burlesque "Coming To Minnesota," neighbors of the "Quality Learing Center" were shocked to see children arriving around 2:00 p.m., about the same time the Minnesota State Government was reportedly claiming the facility had been defunded. Later in the afternoon State officials reportedly walked back those claims. No information is available on how long the children remained at the facility before their parents took them home.

If Emmer was too dense or too stupid to see the billions in fraud taking place in his state, he's too stupid/clueless to be in congress. The best guess, though, is his fingers were in the till and he's trying to CYA!

Sounds more like business as usual. Worthless hearings, a lot of pound of the chest like Tarzan, and then the most expected nothing. Fraud continues, Elmer Fudd Walz wins reelection with a 150% of the Somali vote and other fraudsters take note on how to avoid the next amateur journalist that could blow up their golden goose.

The Pubbies are going to jump all over this - - and pursue it to the last criminal - - and the demonrats are ashamed and embarrassed - - and will never get involved in anything like this again.
Nah - - neither one of those things is true.

The critter's open to legal action as if he's some god somewhere determining the fate of mortals. Miss us with that you fool. What needs to be talked about daily among MAGA is these cretins. They're riding Trump's coattails hoping no one notices them and the inactivity or their go-along-get-along activities. I've been saying this for years; we need to stop focusing on what the left is doing and start dragging these devils.
Maybe this is why all the "conservative" shows do is tell us what the left is doing. They bear some accountability to go after those on our side who are scamming us everyday, that is, if they want us to believe they're with MAGA and not just trying to appease us. They all (critters and big conservative media) get behind something well after due time to make us think they're leading when they're patronizing us and playing politics. Does anyone here believe congress critters didn't know the State Department was a cash cow for leftist causes? You know they all know 2020 was stolen. Where were they? They knew Russia Russia was a hoax, and they know hillary is guilty as charged. They did nothing for the J-6ers, and look how long we've had obamacare, and they've done nothing about anything. They knew biden was flooding the country with illegals. They knew biden was not functioning as the president. All those hearings for years and nothing accomplished by them. We're not supposed to notice, though. It's time to expose them hourly.

The Republican and conservative bashing on this site always seems to omit Trump, as if he's not really a Republican or the lightning rod of the entire GOP. Rep. Emmer, of the Legislative Branch, does not control the Justice Department nor any of the alphabet agencies tasked with various aspects of law enforcement. Some folks may get their wish if the democrats regain the House in '26 but they may find that their Uniparty rhetoric was vastly overblown.

Worked on Capitol Hill for over 15+ years, starting in research for a major Senate Judiciary Subcommittee, then the RNC.
No surprise as BOTH political parties are corrupt…
Once even invited to dinner at a lovely, upscale restaurant on 16th Street, to then watch as a thick envelope of cash was nonchalantly passed under the table.
Even questioned later if and how was GAO involved… God only knows.
