Emmer Touts Conservative You Tuber’s Fraud Investigation Video

(Learfield News/Delano, MN) — The investigation into alleged federal fraud in Minnesota is intensifying.

That follows the release of a YouTube video by a right wing influencer that appears to show abandoned daycare centers in the state continuing to receive taxpayer-funded subsidies.

Republican Congressman Tom Emmer said, “This Nick Shirley goes out there and finds more evidence of fraud in one day than Tim Walz, and our Attorney General Keith Ellison have found in seven years. Why did he find it? Cause he looked for it.”

Despite raising concerns about the report’s accuracy, state regulators dispatched inspectors to each center featured in the video to determine whether any licensing violations or other issues existed.

A manager at the Quality Learning Center said it serves 50 to 80 children on an average day and employs 25 workers.
