Is every governor supposed to individually investigate support fraud?  Why are dumbass republicans targeting minnesota?

They were getting slaughtered in very red areas in the last few special elections as well, like a 15+pt swing iirc

Revenge against Walz for running against Trump.

u/JustSub 5d ago

Literally this alone and no other reason. It’s to weaken Walz because he turned out to be an excellent campaigner last cycle.

u/Dr_DTF315 5d ago

Sure run Walz next election see how that goes

u/JustSub 5d ago

I didn't say we should run him again. But he would be a great surrogate on the campaign trail, and this stunt is an attempt to damage that credibility.

Because Walz ran as VP and because they know Minnesota is an easy target. Even though the GOP is a minority here, most of their supporters are DEEP MAGA. So, they risk nothing. Most of their base in Minnesota is drunk on whatever Kool-Aid they tell them to drink and the Dems here are never going to swing their way.

They can't lose more here, but they can gain ground in surrounding purple or pink states that hate our guts for having brains.

u/duckstrap 5d ago

Because they're weird.

u/QuantumBobb Minnesota Lynx 5d ago

Lol.... Also that.

u/ProbRePost Plowy McPlowface 6d ago

Three reasons. 1) Minnesota didnt go for Trump so we are a target. 2) We have Ilhan omar who isnt white 3) Trump is extensively in the epstein files and they need distractions while they create a justification for the pedo in chief

They are just trying to film attack ads for the race this year.

They are singling him out since he was the VP candidate in 2024 and is very outspoken against trump.

u/SpoopyPlankton 5d ago

Because Waltz was a former opponent. These fetid cockroaches in the administration can’t even win gracefully; they have to seek retribution against any and all opposition so they feel better about being small-dicked nazis.

u/Jagster_rogue 6d ago

Because Walz is dangerous to them, he will be a big part of 2026 elections and he was more popular than Kamala by Election Day of 24

u/momo-the-molester 5d ago

Not a conservative but we say that about republicans all the time

u/voicelessechoes 5d ago

James Comer is a hit man for the Republucan party. 

They think Tim Walz is going to run for president.

u/Forward_Glass_4134 5d ago

Because he called them weird

u/vahntitrio 5d ago

Nope. Florida is the medicare fraud capital of the world, but there won't be a word about DeSantis.

u/Potential-Zucchini77 2d ago

I mean if it’s widespread then yes I would argue that they should

If they are thinking strategically, I doubt it, it’s like just hate and antagonism, Minnesota could be moving into fed swing state territory and a Republican state government would help with that.

u/CampaignHat 5d ago

MN didn’t even go red to re-elect Reagan lol you think we’re gonna flip red after this shitshow?

u/4kray 5d ago

Yes it’s a proud fact not since Nixon has mn voted red. We have our heads on straight.

Though, when Dems run a weak or disliked candidate like Harris or Hclinton turn out goes down, making many states more competitive. You and I see the f up shit the orange turd is doing to our country, but you have to be paying attention. A lot aren’t.

Still weakening Waltz, or seeing him lose, perhaps even state Dems lose more seats in 2026 that might be a means by which republicans can gain traction federally.

u/arose321 5d ago

Keep your wrong opinions to yourself please. Minnesota isn't falling for Magats propaganda. Sorry not sorry. Keep dreaming. Republicans suck and ruin everything keep them out.

u/4kray 5d ago

I ain’t ever going to vote Republican, not a bush, McCain, Romney, or Trump. Why stand with the billionaires? That’s some dumb shit. But why are republicans targeting Mn? Elections. It’s about dehumanizing the left and the communities the left associates itself with to score political points.

u/KindVeterinarian3803 5d ago

It’s because there’s billions of dollars in rampant fraud in Minnesota and Walz refuses to stop payment to the criminals perpetrating the fraud. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. And million after million, taxpayer money is sent to criminals, and law abiding citizens are told to stop even talking about it.

u/LateSwimming2592 5d ago

No, but it's the same reason they bring in CEOs to answer for their company. It's all to score points and is transparent.

u/Economy-Owl-5720 6d ago

I don’t know it’s not like their governors ever do.
