Minnesota Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Klobuchar is running to replace the face of fraud in Minnesota, Tim Walz. One of her political angles is to represent herself as a ‘fraud fighter,’ but her Republican opponent, Lisa Demuth (R), the current Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, is exposing Klobuchar and bringing the receipts.
Klobuchar shared a video claiming, “It’s time for results, not excuses.”

But how engaged has Klobuchar been in acknowledging the fraud, let alone addressing it? According to a recent review of her press releases, not at all.
According to a review by Fox News Digital, “Klobuchar’s Senate office repeatedly issued press releases addressing other forms of fraud between 2022 and 2025, but a review of 1,000 of her official press-release archive found no release directly addressing or offering solutions to fix Minnesota’s sprawling social-services fraud scandal or Feeding Our Future.”
The Gateway Pundit reported that Aimee Bock, the convicted mastermind behind the $250 million Feeding Our Future scandal, was sentenced to 41.5 years in federal prison for her role in a massive scheme that fraudulently billed taxpayers for tens of millions of meals that were never provided to low-income children during the pandemic.
The fraud was centered in Minnesota’s large Somali community and involved dozens of defendants.
Bock, who founded Feeding Our Future, was convicted in March 2025 on multiple counts, including conspiracy, bribery, and wire fraud. She had been the central figure coordinating the operation that exploited relaxed federal rules during the COVID-19 emergency.
In June, The Gateway Pundit reported on a bombshell report by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Majority Staff, which concludes that Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were repeatedly warned about widespread fraud in Minnesota’s taxpayer-funded programs for years, yet failed to take meaningful action while billions of dollars were allegedly siphoned from government programs.
The 205-page report, titled “The Cost of Doing Nothing: How Tim Walz and Keith Ellison Fueled Minnesota’s Fraud Explosion,” paints a devastating picture of political negligence, bureaucratic paralysis, and what investigators describe as a pattern of looking the other way while fraudsters looted public funds.
According to the report, senior officials in the Walz administration and Ellison’s office were aware of credible fraud concerns as early as 2019 within the Minnesota Department of Human Services and by 2020 within the Minnesota Department of Education.
Yet, according to Fox’s review, “In more than 1,000 press releases from Klobuchar’s office from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2025, the Feeding our Future scandal was not mentioned in Klobuchar’s releases, nor were the terms ‘Minnesota fraud,’ ‘social services fraud,’ ‘Medicaid fraud,’ ‘autism fraud,’ ‘Housing Stabilization Services,’ ‘child nutrition fraud,’ ‘DHS fraud,’ or ‘nonprofit fraud.’
Demuth shared on X, “Sen. Amy Klobuchar issued more than 1,000 press releases from January 2022 through the end of 2025.”
“Not a single press release mentioned the fraud scandal that has plagued Minnesota.”
“Billions of our tax dollars stolen. It’s time for change.”
