Allies of President Trump have set their sights on Minnesota in the wake of a fraud scandal in the state.

Vice President Vance said in his own post on X on Saturday that “[w]hat’s happening in Minnesota is a microcosm of the immigriation fraud in our system.”

“Politicans like it because they get power. Welfare cheats like it because they get rich. But it’s a zero sum game, and they’re stealing both money and political power from Minnesotans,” he added.

Trump has attacked Somali immigrants multiple times in recent weeks, with the president saying he didn’t want them in the U.S. and that Somalia “stinks.” The Minnesota fraud scheme’s alleged ringleader is white, but dozens of Somalis have been convicted and faced additional charges.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) went after his state’s governor, Democrat Tim Walz, on X as well, responding to a post from the Democrat that featured a cat.

“Your mismanagement of state funds has just been exposed to tens of millions of Americans and you’re posting about ‘Caturday.’ You should be ashamed,” Emmer said in the post.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk, a former member of the Trump administration who has fallen in and out of the president’s favor, also weighed in on the fraud scandal.

“The radical left has been using fraudulent government programs for a long time to import and retain vast numbers of illegal (and legal, in some cases) immigrants to win elections and turn America into a single-party state, destroying any real democracy,”

“The more you look at it, the more you will be horrified at what your tax money is doing and the fact that, if this is not reversed, your vote will mean nothing,” he added. “The most obvious case example is the Somali voting bloc in Minnesota, a state that historically had zero Somalis, electing Ilhan Omar to the US Congress.”
