Kristi Noem says half of Minnesota visas are ‘fraudulent,’ accuses ‘idiot’ Walz of doing it on purpose

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed in Tuesday’s cabinet meeting with President Trump that half of all Minnesotans have submitted “fraudulent” visa applications.

“You told me to look into Minnesota and their fraud on visas and their programs: 50% of them are fraudulent, which means that that wacko Gov. Walz either is an idiot or he did it on purpose — and I think he’s both, sir,” Noem said, prompting chuckles in the room.

“He brought people in there, illegally, that never should’ve been in this country, said they were somebody that they’re not, they said they were married to somebody who was their brother or somebody else,” added the DHS chief, in a possible reference to accusations that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) wed her sibling.

Noem also said those who submitted “fraudulent visa applications signed up for government programs, took hundreds of billions of dollars from the taxpayers and we’re going to remove them and get our money back.”
