After billions of dollars of fraud were exposed in his state, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz doesn’t want to talk about it. 

Instead, he complained about expiring Obamacare subsidies and shared a picture of a cat.

Call your GOP representatives in Congress.

By leaving Washington without acting, they’re allowing health care premiums to rise to unaffordable rates in the new year.

Families cannot afford this, and the consequences will be immediate.https://t.co/oOL8LfxOWG

Walz, whose administration likely oversaw criminals stealing $9 billion, also complained about the Trump administration garnishing delinquent student loans starting in January.

The irony wasn’t lost on many people who called for an investigation into Minnesota’s social programs. Criminals have stolen $250 million from a program meant to feed hungry kids, $14 million from a program meant to help autistic kids, and from a housing stabilization fund. 

This week, independent reporter Nick Shirley exposed what looks like rampant fraud in the state’s child care program.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said that the state had shut down scammers, but he was talking about a million-dollar consumer payout – not billions of dollars of fraud.
