So a guy with no kids and a camera didn't get to go into a day care. Thread

So a guy with no kids and a camera didn’t get to go into a day care, he cries, says there’s fraud without any actual proof, and now a whole state lost its child care funding?
Did I get that right?

You forgot the part where the actual fraud was investigated and handled back in 2022, and that a white woman was behind it. MAGA really thinks they brought something to light.

Well, yeah. The YouTube guy made a video that the Podcast guy in charge of the FBI saw, who then gave it to the reality tv guy who used to be the tabloid guy who is now the President guy.

But, I think there was a bit more to it. And not sure it was all 'handled' in 2022.

(are the Repugs making 'hay' out of the situation? Undoubtedly, and without question. But even Democratic officials and voices ... Are coming with terms like, 'serious', 'almost systematic', and 'involving large numbers' of both people and dollars. )

a lot of it involving the Covid funding. And a lot of it involving an immigrant community .. which made it a doubly juicy target for wailing a gnashing of teeth from the 'bubba' crowd.

Snip-As unproven online allegations grow about Somali immigrant-run day cares, some individuals are filming themselves attempting to enter Columbus-area facilities, including one recently licensed by the state.
The attempts appear to be inspired by a viral video claiming to show abandoned day cares among the Somali immigrant community in Minnesota, which led to a response from Vice President J.D. Vance, an Ohio native, and the FBI "surging" resources to investigate, according to USA TODAY."


The rest is paywalled out.

They are calling it out for what it is
Rascism and retaliation to blue cities and blue states.
