Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) joined Jesse Watters on Fox News and discussed Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Minnesota’s ‘Somali racket.’
DeSantis noted, “Obviously, he’s [Tim Walz] got a lot of egg on his face. It’s a big scandal.”
“But I’ll tell you, I’m watching the clip of Ilhan Omar,” DeSantis continued. “This is somebody that fled this terrible country, no rights. Then she comes to the United States and uses our freedoms to try to make us more like the country she fled.”
“How the hell does that make any sense?”
“Why did we, over many decades as a government, obviously not me or current Trump administration, but what had to bring in so many people who really don’t necessarily want to assimilate?”
“I think some of these candidates who run there talk about they’re not America first, but Somali first.”
“It’s really a failure of the elites in this country with how they’ve handled immigration, particularly by putting Americans last.”
Jesse Watters noted, “Well, they say it’s racist if you say that all these Somalis stole a billion.”
DeSantis replied, “The race card is what they’re trying to do to evade accountability. They’ll say you’re racist, they’ll say you’re, quote, ‘Islamophobic’ if you question why some of these folks have no interest in assimilating into American society.”
“I think people on the Republican side, the conservative side, I think we’re beyond where they can just sling the race card out and people should be scared of that.”
“That’s what they’ll do. That’s their default. But I don’t think people are buying it anymore.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, 70 members of the Somali community in Minnesota were involved in stealing $250 million in COVID funds that were intended to feed children.
Millions of dollars were stolen from American taxpayers and sent overseas to Somalia, and 80% of the money has not been recovered.
Seven defendants were tried in connection with the scheme on charges related to stealing more than $40 million in taxpayer funds, and five were found guilty. However, the FBI is still investigating an attempt by a Somali woman to bribe one of the jurors with $120,000 in cash.
However, the fraud extends deeper, with multiple schemes of this nature occurring over the last five years. Far-left Democrat Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is under fire after employees from the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) issued a bombshell statement accusing Walz of orchestrating a sweeping cover-up to shield a sprawling Somali immigrant fraud ring that stole more than $1 billion in taxpayer funds and punishing whistleblowers who tried to stop it.
An explosive investigative report by writers Ryan Thorpe and Chris Rufo reveals that some of these funds are being used to fund terrorists in Somalia.
