Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) is facing increasing scrutiny as a long-standing fraud scandal in his state has gained national attention. The issue was highlighted by the New York Times and further exposed by alleged Minnesota Department of Human Services employees, who directly blamed Walz, calling him “100 percent responsible.” These employees also revealed that they had informed Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) about the problems during her 2024 presidential campaign, but their warnings apparently went unheeded.
Walz appeared on Meet the Press on Sunday to address the fraud scandal, but the interview did not go well. When questioned about the controversy, he attempted to spin the narrative, only managing to damage his own credibility further.

In a startling moment during the interview, Walz veered off track by trying to shift the focus onto former President Donald Trump. He claimed Trump was “unwell” and demanded that Trump release the MRI scan he underwent. This was surprising coming from Walz, who attempted to judge someone else’s behavior as “not normal.” It’s worth noting that Trump has consistently released his medical records, unlike President Joe Biden.
Walz’s comments about Trump “fading quickly” and questioning his “mental capacity” were particularly ironic. Trump maintains a rigorous schedule and frequently answers media questions, demonstrating his active engagement. As previously reported, Trump did release a normal MRI scan, effectively undermining Walz’s narrative before it gained traction.
Amid this scandal and Walz’s faltering defense, he remains known for making controversial and bizarre remarks, such as his claim of being “friends with school shooters.”

Furthermore, Walz’s credibility on issues related to presidential fitness is questionable, especially considering his defense of Joe Biden amid concerns about Biden’s cognitive decline. Notably absent was any call from Walz for transparency regarding Biden’s health.
Minnesota House Republican Floor Leader Rep. Harry Niska commented on the situation:
*”Quite possibly the least qualified evaluator of fitness for office.”*
Walz’s attempt to deflect blame from the Minnesota Department of Human Services scandal is failing. The public deserves transparency, and perhaps Walz should release all the information he has regarding the fraud. Clearly, no MRI is needed to assess that Walz himself faces serious political challenges.
