Reading the comments made me lose hope in the Democratic Party. YOU DONT NEED TO DEFEND EVERYTHING YOUR PARTY DOES.
Dems are upset about the ballroom but not the Somalian daycares. Make it make sense

I don’t defend the Somalian daycare scheme. The republicans are just hypocrites. There’s a difference between thoroughly investigating fraud (which has been happening for years) and using a fraud scheme to try and deport an entire ethnicity

this is true and i lampoon the Democratic Party every single day because in many ways they suck but in the grand scheme of things the “Somalian day care fraud” is a drop in the bucket, even if it’s legitimately fraud (which isnt proven yet btw). i wanna see this energy from conservatives about white people running cash only small businesses to underreport on taxes

This seriously isn’t about trump. People are justifying fraud by saying somebody else is doing it.

small correction: didn’t realize there were already convictions. people convicted of fraud did fraud and it’s not “alleged”. that said, if it’s been on the radar and investigated since 2022 that doesn’t really make me think there’s an ongoing fraud problem - sounds like officials have had an eye on it and are addressing it

No, it’s pointing out that the republicans only care about fraud when they can use it to target ethnicities they don’t like. When it’s fraud committed by Trump supporters or rich white people, Trump pardons them. As an extreme example, if the president pardoned a bunch of murderers who were white, but when a Jamaican murdered someone he wanted to deport all Jamaicans, it’s right to point out the hypocrisy and disproportionate response.

No they’re not. They’re pointing out the hypocrisy of saying this is bad because it’s a crime but then voting for a guy who has a criminal record and does this stuff
