The multibillion-dollar Somali welfare scandal in Minnesota continues to grow, even as Democrats do their best to tamp it down.

U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, who represents the Twin Cities area and is a naturalized citizen from Somalia, lamented the fraud but said the focus on Somalis was because of bigotry.
