The movie rapidly became a virale, prompting legislators and another influential figures to request answers from Minnesota authorities and personally Walz.
"$4 million of hard-earned taxpayers' money goes to an educational centre that can't even compose the word "science" correctly.
Would you like to explain that, Tim Walz?” – wrote on Saturday on X whip Tom Emmer, the 3rd most crucial Republican in the home of Representatives and congressman from Minnesota.
‘People must be arrested and charged, and the politician of Minnesota must be held accountable" – wrote Congressman Mike Lawler, a Republican from fresh York.
Donald Trump Jr. called his fans to watch the full recording, writing on X: “This is what they do to your country from your taxes!!” Billionaire Tesla and SpaceX owner Elon Musk besides made the video available, adding a signature to their post: "Prosecution @GovTimValz".
The reaction to this situation arises at a time erstwhile the Walz administration faces billions of dollars of alleged social services fraud, including at least a billion dollars associated with programs in which the Somali-American community of Minnesota is mostly involved.
Reports propose that any fraudulent payments were transferred abroad via informal networks, and millions were likely to go beyond the borders of the United States, including Al-Shabaab, a Somali terrorist organization associated with Al-Qaeda. Many federal, state and congressional bodies are investigating these charges.
Although Walz committed to trap fraudsters and launch a statewide fraud prevention program involving investigators, president Donald Trump named him ‘seriously handicapped’ and called Minnesota under his leadership "money laundering centre".
He besides announced the termination of the Provisional Protection position for Somalis in Minnesota, legal protection against deportation for any immigrants.
Vice president JD Vance spoke on Saturday about the scandal, calling the situation in Minnesota "microcosm of immigration fraud in our system".
