President Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has unleashed a blistering attack on former Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, branding him a “corrupt, incompetent loser” amid revelations of staggering fraud in state welfare programs. Miller highlighted how Somalis in Minnesota’s diaspora orchestrated schemes that stole up to $9 billion in taxpayer dollars—potentially half of the $18 billion disbursed through vulnerable programs since 2018—dwarfing Somalia’s entire GDP of around $13 billion. “This corrupt, incompetent loser has presided over the largest theft of American taxpayer dollars in history,” Miller declared, noting the amount stolen exceeds the economic output of the perpetrators’ homeland, exposing the catastrophic failure of lax oversight under Walz’s watch.

The massive fraud, centered on child nutrition, housing stabilization, autism services, and Medicaid programs, involved networks primarily from the Somali community billing for nonexistent services, with funds used for luxury purchases and overseas transfers. Federal prosecutors describe it as “industrial-scale” theft, with over 90 defendants charged—most of Somali descent—and convictions already securing accountability. Miller emphasized that Walz ignored early warnings, retaliated against whistleblowers, and allowed the scandal to explode, turning Minnesota into a hub of money laundering while genuine needy families suffered.

With the Department of Justice launching a full-scale investigation commensurate in scope and purpose, Miller promised that “there needs to be a lot of people going to jail.” This decisive federal action under the Trump administration is rooting out the corruption, ensuring prosecutions, asset seizures, and deportations where applicable. Walz embodies everything wrong with failed liberal politics—prioritizing open borders and weak enforcement over American taxpayers—finally facing the reckoning he deserves for betraying public trust.
