So this is what counts as an “outstanding refugee” in Minnesota? This state is worse than California! Salman Ahmed Elmi, who was given the honorary award now faces up to eight counts of Medicaid fraud worth as much as $1 million… Way to go Tampon Tim and Peggy Flanagan!
Meet Salman Ahmed Elmi.
Minnesota DHS gave him their “Outstanding Refugee” award.
Now he’s charged with $1 million in Medicaid fraud tied to a sex trafficking ring.
This is the culture Tim Walz created.
It’s a total embarrassment!https://t.co/8QTwbvr80D
