Tim Walz jumps ship — and leaves fraud-scarred Minnesota Dems in big trouble

Tim Walz is going away, but the Democratic Party’s Tim Walz crisis isn’t.

The Minnesota governor gave up his quest for a third term Monday: Staying out of jail will be challenging enough for him over the next few months, never mind prolonging his stay in office.

Federal prosecutors estimate the Somali daycare scam and other frauds perpetrated under his watch cost taxpayers up to $9 billion.

Over the years Walz and his party have received plenty of campaign cash from the Somali community, a loyal — and influential — bloc in Minnesota Democratic politics.

The fraud was no well-kept secret; an independent journalist, Nick Shirley, easily exposed it.
