The Somali owner of a daycare center in Minnesota, with direct ties to the financial fraud that we have been hearing about for months, just won a house race in the blue state.
You could not make this up.
At this point, it truly feels like Minnesota is beyond help. How do you even try to change things when corruption is rewarded with power?
FOX News reports:
Somali daycare owner tied to fraud wins Minnesota House race sparking online fury: ‘Lost state’
The owner of a Somali daycare center that has faced scrutiny over state and federal funding and is linked to a massive fraud settlement won a seat in the Minnesota legislature Tuesday night.
Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) candidate Abdi Daisane defeated a Republican incumbent to win Minnesota’s House District 14A seat in St. Cloud, Minnesota, becoming the first Somali-born lawmaker in the statehouse from St. Cloud, MPR News reported.
Daisane, who delivered part of his victory speech in Somali, is the CEO of Blooming Kids Child Care Center in St. Cloud, which has received $7.29 million from the state-run Child Care Assistance Program since 2018.
His childcare business also received $598,251.62 from the federally-funded Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) since 2020. A nonprofit called Partners in Nutrition, which recently had to pay an $18.5 million civil settlement for fraud, was the center’s sponsor for CACFP funds.
A press release from the settlement says Partners in Nutrition “knowingly defrauded the State of Minnesota out of millions of dollars in federal child nutrition funds during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, in violation of the Minnesota False Claims Act.”
Total madness.
Meet Abdi Daisane.
Daisane is a Somali Daycare Owner who was just elected to the Minnesota State House as a Democrat.
His wife Ayaan Aydid, reportedly entered the United States illegally under the Biden administration.
