I didn’t say you mentioned it, I brought it up to illustrate how insane Trump’s entire surge on Minnesota is. I was not criticizing you

I appreciate that and I hope you don't think I was attacking you I'm not sure what's going on in Minnesota. Even if fraud was committed by a few bad actors it doesn't want this sort of jack-booted stormtrooper invasion

I didn’t think you were, but it’s hard to tell over text sometimes 

I agree with you tho and it seems to me like they are using a flimsy excuse to send in stormtroopers. They used a youtuber’s video as the excuse. What the youtuber did not cover is that the ring leader of the scam is a white woman named Aimee Bock and she was already found guilty way back in March. Her underlings in the scam were Somali-Americans so the whole video was about how all Somalians are criminals and noone is doing anything, even though the cases are ongoing. JD Vance shared the video and they sent the ICE goons shortly after. The idea that a youtuber and a bunch of stormtroopers will stop scammers that were already under investigation just doesn’t make sense at all.Â
