CNN Panel Spends Two And A Half Minutes Trying To Dismiss Journalist Who Blew Lid Off Somali Scammer Scandal "Former MSNBC [Of course!] host Tiffany Cross and Democratic strategist Maria Cardona spent over two and a half minutes on “CNN NewsNight” Tuesday trying to dismiss independent journalist Nick Shirley’s reporting on Somali-run day care centers that allegedly scammed Minnesota out of millions of dollars.
"Shirley touched off a social media storm Friday when he posted a photo of one day-care center, which displayed a banner calling it “The Greater Learing Center” on X, along with a 42-minute video that went viral showing him visiting that and other day-care centers. “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip asked the panel to discuss the Trump administration’s announcement that it could cut off funds from Minnesota over the fraud." . . .
Cross, whose MSNBC show featured racially-charged attacks on conservatives, particularly black conservatives, attacked Shirley, claiming he targeted the Somali day care centers because of President Donald Trump’s rhetoric.
Nick Shirley fires back at CBS News reporter suggesting Minnesota daycare centers weren't fraudulent "Independent journalist Nick Shirley called out CBS News reporter Jonah Kaplan over his video claiming that the Minnesota daycare centers Shirley visited were not "fraudulent."
"Kaplan, who works with CBS News' Minneapolis affiliate, posted a video shared on CBS News' X account on Tuesday that offered "its own analysis" of nearly a dozen daycare centers Shirley visited in his viral video. In his video, Kaplan reported that while the locations Shirley highlighted have received citations for issues related to safety and cleanliness, there was no evidence of fraud." . . .

“I don’t know. Like, they are scared of being called now, because it’s Somalis committing this fraud, they are scared to be called Islamophobic, racist, which has nothing to do with what’s going on because fraud is fraud,” Shirley said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a black person, a white person, Asian versus Mexican, fraud is fraud and we worked too hard to simply be paying taxes and enabling fraud to be happening.”
