The Somali daycare scandal in Minnesota, which made the Learing Center famous, wasn't enough to keep voters from electing a Somali daycare owner to the Minnesota House. His child care center was sponsored for state funding by a nonprofit that the state says knowingly defrauded the state of $18 million. Oh, and his wife brags about how she came to the United States illegally.

The post continues:

… smuggled myself and jumped over the wall for my love." — Ayaan Aidid and other Somalis did it with her. MINNESOTA IS SO FREAKING COOKED.

Fox News reports:

Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) candidate Abdi Daisane defeated a Republican incumbent to win Minnesota’s House District 14A seat in St. Cloud, Minnesota, becoming the first Somali-born lawmaker in the statehouse from St. Cloud, MPR News reported.

Daisane, who delivered part of his victory speech in Somali, is the CEO of Blooming Kids Child Care Center in St. Cloud, which has received $7.29 million from the state-run Child Care Assistance Program since 2018.

His childcare business also received $598,251.62 from the federally-funded Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) since 2020. A nonprofit called Partners in Nutrition, which recently had to pay an $18.5 million civil settlement for fraud, was the center's sponsor for CACFP funds.

A press release from the settlement says Partners in Nutrition "knowingly defrauded the State of Minnesota out of millions of dollars in federal child nutrition funds during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, in violation of the Minnesota False Claims Act."

…

Alpha News reported on the funding in late October, and spoke with a nearby worker who said they never saw children entering or exiting the childcare facility. The outlet also reported that Blooming Kids Child Care Center has been cited for over a dozen violations.

Additionally, questions about the immigration status of Daisane's wife, Ayaan Aydid, have circulated online after a video surfaced of her detailing to the BBC how she crossed into the United States at the southern border.

That reminds us … did they ever catch whoever broke into that Somali daycare center (from the inside) and made off with all of the enrollment paperwork?

End Wokeness reported earlier this week that Abdi Daisane gave his victory speech in Somali:

The American Dream is still alive … move to Minnesota, open a daycare that receives millions in state funds, and then take office. That path only seems to work for Somalis, though.
