Amy Klobuchar never mentioned Minnesota fraud in over 1,000 releases
Key Points:
- Minnesota Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Klobuchar is criticized for campaigning on addressing the state's massive social-services fraud scandal despite not mentioning it in any of her official press releases from 2022 to 2025.
- The scandal, known as the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud, has expanded to potentially over $9 billion in losses, yet Klobuchar's Senate office never addressed it directly in over 1,000 press releases reviewed by Fox News Digital.
- Minnesota Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth highlighted Klobuchar's lack of action and public commentary on the scandal, accusing her of failing to hold hearings or attend fraud-related discussions during her 20 years as senator.
- Klobuchar's campaign now focuses on fighting fraud, promising a state audit to "root out waste, fraud, and abuse," but critics question the timing and sincerity given her previous silence.
- Republican candidates, including Demuth and Senate hopeful Michele Tafoya, emphasize their ongoing efforts to combat fraud and position themselves as trustworthy alternatives to Klobuchar and the current administration.
