Minn. Rep describes how Dems retaliate agaisnt whistleblowers and their KIDS

Minnesota state Rep. Marion Rarick (R) spoke about the retaliation whistleblowers are experiencing when calling attention to the apparently rampant fraud in the state.

Speaking to reporters outside a U.S. House Oversight Committee hearing on alleged fraud in Minnesota’s social service programs, Rarick detailed “terrifying” actions she attributed to Democrats.

“Retaliation has escalated and now it’s you’re going to lose your job, you’re going to lose your home, we’re going to track your children, we’re going to make sure that you can’t get a job anywhere else in state government and for Minnesota — can’t get a job anywhere that Democrats control,” the GOP lawmaker said.

Minnesota Rep Marion Rarick says if any whistleblowers came forward to expose fraud, Democrats would make sure they lost their jobs, their homes, they’d be blacklisted from new jobs and they would TRACK THEIR CHILDREN

Rarick told the Oversight Committee the Walz administration was trying to silence whistleblowers, saying those “who suggest improvements — or heaven forbid — report fraud, then face significant retaliations,” MPR News reported.

U.S. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R) asked Rarick, “Do you have any doubt that Governor Tim Walz knew about this fraud as it was occurring?”

“He absolutely knew that it was occurring,” she shot back.

The Democrat-controlled Minnesota Department of Human Services has denied these allegations, insisting that retaliation is strictly prohibited. For what it’s worth, the Minnesota Whistleblower Act (MWA) was passed to protect employees who report unlawful conduct.

Here’s a sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:

This kind of retaliation against whistleblowers—allegedly including job loss, home threats, child tracking, and blacklisting—raises concerns about violating laws like Minnesota’s whistleblower protections. It could deter fraud reporting, erode public trust in government, and harm…

Walz continues to be exposed as a bigger criminal. Good. Keep legally exposing his crimes.

Remember when 60 Minutes made whistleblowers heroes? Apparently the new progressive stance is to crush them under heel for questioning or exposing wrongdoing. Talk about a radical change in ethics…

To go from job retaliation to tracking people’s children is a level of government overreach that should scare every citizen, regardless of their politics. Democrats are losing their mind!

Sounds like Minnesota fell to the Bolsheviks and they have been siphoning off billions of federal funds. It’s time for some politicians to go to prison.
