Rob Finnerty’s blistering take on the alleged Somali fraud in Minnesota is more than cable outrage; it’s a warning shot that the political status quo has been letting corruption fester. On his show Finnerty argued bluntly that if a Kamala-Walz ticket had prevailed, “the grift would go on,” a sentiment that resonates with taxpayers watching billions vanish while officials look the other way.
This scandal is no Twitter rumor — federal probes and prosecutors have uncovered massive schemes tied to nonprofits and service providers, including the high-profile Feeding Our Future case and other alleged scams that prosecutors say diverted hundreds of millions, possibly more. The scope exposed real holes in oversight and auditing of federal dollars routed through state systems, and Republicans are right to demand answers about how this could happen under Democratic control.
Federal agencies have stepped in because state officials failed to stop it. The Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and Treasury officials have all said investigations are expanding, and the federal government even moved to suspend certain benefit payments pending accountability — an extraordinary step that highlights how badly the system has been abused. Americans deserve to know who signed off on these programs and why basic safeguards were not enforced.
Make no mistake: this is a political story as much as a criminal one. Governor Tim Walz and other Democratic leaders in Minnesota are under fire for years of lax oversight and an apparent reluctance to confront inconvenient truths in tight-knit communities. Conservative voices from across the country are rightly asking whether national Democratic leadership, including Vice President Kamala Harris supporters who promoted Walz, would have treated this with the urgency taxpayers expect.
Beyond partisan rhetoric, the facts demand policy changes. Investigations have suggested money was funneled out of the country and that the schemes reached into multiple benefit programs — allegations that call for stricter verification, stronger auditing, and tougher consequences for fraudsters and enablers alike. If Democrats keep preaching “trust us” while local officials ignore red flags, hardworking Americans will keep paying the bill.
President Trump’s administration and Republican lawmakers are pushing for prosecutions and reforms to stop future theft of taxpayer dollars, and that pushback is exactly what’s needed. Conservatives ought to seize this moment to demand concrete legislative fixes — from better tracking of funds to immigration and refugee vetting tied to program eligibility — so that public dollars help Americans, not foreign terror proxies or corrupt insiders.
This is about accountability, not politics, though politics is the root of the problem when one party protects the machine that lets the money flow unchecked. Finnerty’s message — that a Kamala-Walz alliance would only entrench the grift — may be sharp, but it reflects a deeper anger among voters who have watched years of mismanagement and want results. Conservatives should channel that anger into votes, oversight, and lawmaking so the taxpayers who fund these programs get justice and real reform.
