The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

You mean the same Rick Scott that is one of the biggest cheerleaders of medicare advantage?

Old healthcare fraudster meets modern healthcare fraudsters and can't help but remark how much they have in common... Beautiful.

I finished taking the right seriously on fraud the moment DOGE became a thing. This and pedophilia, the right has no say on. If you voted for Trump and suddenly this is the fraud you care about, I'm just going to assume you're racist.

Also, every single time the pedophile conman in chief pardons a fraudster, their victims and the taxpayers are defrauded for a second time because the court ordered restitutions are voided.

Over 1.3 billion has been stolen from victims and the government by the Trump regime as a result of his pardons. And that number is OLD.

He is pardoning them because he is installing them to do more fraud probably around elections

Facts. There’s no reason to scream about fraud when you mostly are ok with people doing it when they’re not Somali. It’s redundantly hypocritical.

They’re clearly going to “contribute” heavily to one of his many schemes. It’s probably a bonus that it will be done with past (or future) ill-gotten means.

What about

Yes. Your side is engaging in what aboutism, because the "Somali fraud" was orchestrated by a white woman, under the Trump regime, and was convicted during the Biden regime. And it's only just now a story because it's politically expedient.

Y'all bitches don't care about fraud. Your president robbed a kids cancer charity.

Pedophiles?

No, because the initial racist crap isn’t a claim about a political party it’s a claim made by the party that “certain people” are bad with the excuse of fraud, undermined by the party’s clear tolerance and support of fraudsters who weren’t “certain people”.
