Seattle’s Socialist Mayor DEFENDS Somali Daycare ‘Fraud’ Targets – Calls Whistleblowers EXTREMISTS
from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds
Seattle's new socialist mayor just called fraud investigators 'extremist influencers' while hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars disappear into ghost Somali daycares. You read that right. Katie Wilson issued a statement defending alleged fraudsters instead of demanding answers about why these 'daycares' have no children, no car seats, and luxury vehicles in the driveways. We're talking $800,000+ per facility with zero kids present. Meanwhile, YouTubers like Nick Shirley, Cam Higby, and Jonathan Cho are doing the actual journalism—knocking on doors, asking questions, and exposing what could be a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme stretching from Minnesota to Washington State. The same pattern seen in the $9 billion Medicaid fraud is now playing out in childcare subsidies, and Seattle's mayor responds with 'I stand with Somali childcare providers.' Are you kidding? When did asking 'where are the children?' become extremism? Why won't officials investigate facilities pulling in taxpayer money with zero accountability? Is this the biggest cover-up in recent Washington history? Drop your thoughts below, hit subscribe, and let's keep exposing government waste together.
