“just over a month ago, a video went viral on the internet that exposed a shocking fraud scheme by Somali nationals in Minnesota. An organization that went by the name of ``Quality Learning Center''--or ``Quality Learing Center,'' as they misspelled it--was receiving massive amounts of Federal funding--by some estimates, more than $1 million--under the pretext of providing childcare. However, as the video shows, the facility was not, in fact, a daycare center, and there were no children present. The mainstream media may have moved on from this scandal, but our job here in Congress on this scandal is not done. As a matter of fact, it is just beginning. I applaud President Trump and his administration for quickly freezing Federal childcare funds to Minnesota in the wake of this alleged fraud scheme. This will give government officials a chance to conduct a thorough investigation to find out exactly what was going on before more money is shoveled out the door to potential swindlers. These are U.S. taxpayer dollars, and they were intended to fund a program to help make childcare more accessible to those who needed it. Instead, these tax dollars were lining the pockets of a group of charlatans and fraudsters. Now, the radical left, of course, has villainized the young, independent journalist who uncovered this scandal, calling for his death--his death--on social media.”
