Jan 12, 2026 by AFP

ST. PAUL, MN – In case you missed it, Americans for Prosperity-Minnesota (AFP-MN) State Director Jake Coleman appeared on One America News Network’s “The Real Story with Riley Lewis” on Saturday to discuss Governor Tim Walz’s handling of Minnesota’s welfare fraud crisis.

“So far, Tim Walz has done basically nothing,” told Lewis while discussing the Trump administration’s appointment of a new assistant attorney general to investigate fraud in Minnesota amid Walz’s failure to do so. “This lack of oversight is pervasive throughout the entire Democratic leadership here in the state of Minnesota,” he added.

“Big, decentralized government programs that aren’t directly accountable to the people are easy targets for bad actors,” Coleman continued. “Americans should look at this as a lesson and think about what kind of government policies we want to support.”
