Investigative journalist Nick Shirley set the internet on fire the day after Christmas when he posted a stunning video detailing the rampant Somali fraud poisoning Minnesota right under the noses of Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Oman (MN-05), and Gopher State Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D).
The fearless young man with a camera and a microphone went around to numerous supposed Minneapolis daycares that were receiving oodles of federal money, only to discover that there were no kids or signs of life at many of them.
Now he’s back with a second video, which he released Wednesday afternoon:
🚨 After my last video exposing over $110 Million in fraud Tim Walz dropped his run for reelection and multiple federal investigations were launched to stop fraud across the country. In this 51 minute video David and I expose another $16 Million in fraud as Minnesota welfare… pic.twitter.com/p5r6BDXqsK

His tweet in full:
After my last video exposing over $110 Million in fraud Tim Walz dropped his run for reelection and multiple federal investigations were launched to stop fraud across the country. In this 51 minute video David and I expose another $16 Million in fraud as Minnesota welfare programs continue to operate fraudulently and steal from law-abiding taxpayers
Like it and share it around everywhere! Accountability and the law must come for the fraudsters and corrupt politicians who have let this happen.
The fraud must end.

At the beginning of the new video, he looks back on the impact that his first exposé had and the blowback he received:
…it became the most viewed video exposé on the internet and created instant change within the government as the fed sent thousands of federal agents to Minnesota, and the HHS froze over $185 million in all payments to childcare... while politicians like [disgraced Minnesota Governor] Tim Walz call people like me “white supremacists” and “far right delusional conspiracy theorists" for exposing the fraud.
But of course, they called you names, Nick; that’s the modern Democrat’s response to almost everything these days.
In this new clip, running almost an hour long, Shirley teams up with a man he identifies as a local named David. David described what he called “transportation fraud,” whereby companies sign up to be “non-medical emergency transportation” entities. There are over 1,000 such companies, David alleged — adding that more than 90 percent were Somali-owned.

Shirley was repeatedly harassed on the streets, called Islamophobic, and faced threatening characters while trying to do his job. This guy starts out slow and then gets downright menacing:

They have gotten by with this corruption and are so used to stealing …. It’s their normal way of life.
Its sickening. I hate these Somali criminals. Deport them ALL. pic.twitter.com/YNDPTGixN7
Nick Shirley has got some... guts, I’ll tell you that. He keeps walking into the danger zone and just carries on despite the danger. I’m sure there will be much more to discuss about his second video, and RedState will stay on top of the story.
