I was on Australian television tonight, and one of the topics was Tim Walz and the Minnesota fraud scandal. What was striking to me is that Walz has become an international laughingstock. His ineptitude is recognized around the globe.
And yet, there is nothing new in the revelations of the past week or two. Bill Glahn of my organization has been writing about Feeding Our Future and the related Walz administration scandals for nearly four years. The fraud story is so far from being new, that in Feeding Our Future alone, the U.S. Attorney’s office has charged 78 defendants, two criminal trials have been held, resulting in convictions, and more than 50 defendants have pleaded guilty. Power Line readers have known about the scandal for a long time, but it is nice to see the rest of the country finally taking notice.
Still, given the newfound interest in the Walz administration’s incompetence (if not outright encouragement of criminal wrongdoing), we put out this tweet about Keith Ellison, Walz’s Attorney General:

Our marketing people cleverly put the word “Breaking” on the tweet, even though we released the hour-long tape of Ellison meeting with fraudsters in April. It was news to the national media; Rufo picked it up, as did Libs of TikTok and others. The White House has put up a page on the Walz frauds, which also links to us.
And then there is this:

I was asked on television whether Walz will withdraw from the race for governor, which seems to be what the New York Times wants. I honestly have no idea, but I doubt it. Walz has no skills that would make him employable in the private sector. So, to paraphrase Richard Nixon, I think we will have him to kick around for some time to come.
