DEMOCRATS UNDER FIRE: MILLIONS STOLEN in Welfare SCANDAL!

A massive fraud scheme, potentially reaching $1 billion, has shaken Minnesota, revealing the theft of federal funds intended to feed children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of nourishing those in need, the money fueled a lavish lifestyle of mansions and extravagant shopping sprees.

At the heart of the scandal lies Feeding Our Future, a nonprofit accused of siphoning off approximately $250 million. The scheme involved claiming payments for millions of “phantom” meals – meals that were never served to children. Federal investigators have already indicted 75 individuals, with over half admitting guilt to charges like wire fraud and bribery.

The fallout extends to several prominent Minnesota Democrats who received campaign donations totaling over $53,000 from individuals now implicated in the fraud. These contributions raise serious questions about awareness and potential complicity within the state’s political landscape.

Attorney General Keith Ellison received $10,000 from businessmen linked to the scandal, including a $7,500 influx following a meeting with Somali business leaders. One of those donors, Gandi Mohamed, now faces federal bribery and fraud charges.

Representative Ilhan Omar, whose district is home to many of those indicted, played a role in loosening regulations that ultimately enabled the fraud. Her 2020 MEALS Act waived crucial oversight measures, like site inspections, allowing for the unchecked distribution of funds.

Omar’s campaign initially accepted $7,400 from convicted fraudsters, returning the money only after the indictments became public. She previously held her 2018 victory party at a restaurant co-owned by Salim Ahmed Said, who stole over $12 million through the fraudulent meal claims.

Said used the stolen funds to purchase a $2 million mansion and indulged in $9,000 monthly shopping sprees at Nordstrom. A video surfaced showing Omar praising the program at Said’s restaurant in 2020, adding another layer of scrutiny to her involvement.

Further complicating matters, a key campaign “enforcer” for Omar, Guhaad Hashi Said, pleaded guilty to running a fraudulent food site and stealing $3.2 million. While Omar maintains she had no knowledge of the wrongdoing, observers question her level of awareness.

The web of connections extends beyond Omar. Minneapolis City Councilman Jeremiah Ellison, son of the Attorney General, received $3,000 from donors connected to the scandal. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey accepted $9,000 from nine defendants, and State Senator Omar Fateh received $11,000.

Even candidates running against each other for mayor received substantial donations from those involved in the fraud, highlighting the pervasive nature of the scheme. Despite the questionable funding, the election proceeded with little apparent impact from the revelations.

Other state and local politicians, including State Senator John Hoffman, former State Representative John Thompson, and Washington State House candidate Shukri Olow, also received contributions from individuals now facing criminal charges, painting a disturbing picture of widespread financial entanglement.
