Deputy editor Jack Butler of the Wall Street Journal’s Free Expression newsletter comments on our repulsive clown prince of a governor this morning:
* * * * *
Gov. Chutzpah: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz wants you to believe that he’s an antifraud crusader. He claims that the recent federal raids on sites suspected of “industrial-scale fraud” happened because “our state agencies caught irregular behavior and reported it.” Mr. Walz says that’s “how the system is supposed to work,” and that the state government will keep doing it. This is the same government that for years, possibly even decades, failed to police the widespread bilking of government funds by the Somali-migrant community. If this is how the system is supposed to work, then why did Mr. Walz abandon his plans for re-election after the true scale of the alleged fraud emerged? If he’s sincere in his desire to go after people who are deceiving the public, he could start by looking in a mirror.
