President Trump called Minnesota Governor Tim Walz "seriously retarded" on Thanksgiving and the Left completely lost its mind.
The media spent the weekend clutching their pearls and demanding Trump apologize for using an "offensive word."
But Trump's attack on Walz just blew the lid off a billion-dollar fraud scandal that has Democrats scrambling for cover.
Trump Doubles Down On Air Force One
Aboard Air Force One Sunday evening, a reporter asked Trump if he stood by calling Walz "retarded."
Trump didn't hesitate for a second.
"Yeah, I think there's something wrong with him. Absolutely. Sure," Trump fired back. "You have a problem with it?"¹
Trump explained that anyone who would let Somalian gangs terrorize his state while billions of taxpayer dollars disappeared into thin air has serious problems.
"Anybody that would do what he did, anybody that would allow those people into a state and pay billions of dollars out to Somalia. We give billions of dollars to Somalia. It's not even a country because it doesn't function like a country," Trump stated.¹
Walz tried to play the victim card by calling Trump's comments "hurtful" and demanding the President release his MRI results.
That weak response tells you everything you need to know about why Kamala Harris lost in a landslide.
Whistleblowers Just Nuked Walz From Inside His Own Government
While the media obsessed over Trump's language, Walz's own employees dropped a bombshell that the press tried desperately to ignore.
More than 480 current employees at Minnesota's Department of Human Services posted a blistering statement on X accusing Walz of being "100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota."²
These aren't Trump supporters or Republican operatives.
These are Walz's own government workers who watched him enable the theft of taxpayer dollars and then threaten anyone who tried to stop it.
"We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports," the employees wrote.²
Walz appointed unqualified cronies to leadership positions who threatened whistleblowers' families to keep them quiet.²
Staff who witnessed fraud were "shutdown, reassigned and told to keep quiet."²
That's not oversight — that's a cover-up.
The Numbers Don't Lie About Minnesota's Fraud Crisis
The scale of what happened in Minnesota under Walz is staggering.
Federal prosecutors have secured convictions against 78 defendants who stole more than $250 million from the Feeding Our Future child nutrition program alone.³
That's just one of at least 28 major fraud scandals that have erupted since Walz became governor in 2019.³
A Manhattan Institute investigation found that Minnesota's Housing Stabilization Services program exploded from a projected $2.6 million annually to paying out $61 million in just the first six months of 2025.³
Prosecutors found that the "vast majority" of claims were completely fraudulent involving "purely fictitious companies solely created to defraud the system."³
Where did that money go?
Somalia, through informal "hawala" money-trading networks that funnel cash to Al-Shabaab terrorists.³
The Somali diaspora sent $1.7 billion back to Somalia in 2023 alone — more than Somalia's entire government budget.³
One federal counterterrorism official didn't mince words: "The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer."³
Walz Can't Explain Why He Protected The Fraudsters
Walz finally addressed the scandal last week claiming fraud "undermines trust in government."
Coming from someone whose employees just accused him of threatening whistleblowers' families, that takes serious nerve.
NBC's Kristen Welker asked Walz directly: do you take responsibility for failing to stop the fraud?
"Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail," Walz mumbled.⁴
He's taking credit for federal prosecutors cleaning up his mess after he spent years punishing the whistleblowers who tried to expose it.
His own employees demolished that lie.
"Agency leaders appointed by Tim Walz willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet," they wrote.²
This wasn't incompetence.
This was deliberate.
"Fundamentally, Tim Walz is dishonest, lacks ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities, and has never taken any accountability for his role in fraud," the employees concluded.²
The Media Hid This Scandal Until Trump Forced Their Hand
The billion-dollar fraud happened under Walz's watch while he was running for Vice President.
The media said nothing.
Trump called Walz "seriously retarded" on Thanksgiving and suddenly every news outlet in America covered Minnesota's fraud crisis.
Democrats screamed about Trump's language being offensive and hurtful.
They ignored the billion dollars funding Islamic terrorists.
Senator Amy Klobuchar went on CNN Sunday to defend Walz by claiming he "took that case, and then he went 2,400 miles away to Somalia and somehow indicted an entire group of people."
Nobody indicted anyone based on their nationality.
Federal prosecutors indicted 78 people who stole $250 million and sent it to terrorists.
Trump terminated Temporary Protected Status for Somalians in Minnesota Friday, calling it a "hub of fraudulent money laundering activity."⁵
"Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing," Trump wrote. "Send them back to where they came from. It's OVER!"⁵
This is why 77 million Americans voted for Trump.
He refuses to let Democrats hide behind accusations of racism when taxpayer dollars are funding terrorism.
Walz's own employees confirmed Trump was right about everything — the fraud, the cover-up, the threats against whistleblowers.
But Trump using the word "retarded" got more media coverage than Walz enabling a billion-dollar fraud scheme.
