Babylon Bee Editor Thanks Snopes for Debunking This Believable Story About Tim Walz's $8 Billion Grant

Ever since the fraud in Minnesota started to be exposed, the media, including "fact-checkers," have jumped into action. 

We can include in that some reporters responding to Nick Shirley's videos about Somali daycare fraud in Minneapolis by investigating... Nick Shirley. Up next we have a "fact-checking" organization debunking a satirical piece from the Babylon Bee, mostly because this sounds way too believable:

The Snopes headline: Don't believe rumor Tim Walz gave $8B to Somali company to investigate fraud

Snopes sub-headline is this: "The claim originated with The Babylon Bee, a Christian satirical outlet that Snopes has repeatedly debunked."

Yes, because it's a satirical outlet! Well, sort of. 

The Bee is actually a PSA https://t.co/R1TyH6ltrY

I’m not sure if this is parody or a premonition. https://t.co/5GBzp2jWkB

If Walz saw the Bee's story he might have said to himself, "hey, that's not a bad idea."
