Late Night Won’t Touch Somali Scandal, So …
Indie content creators rush in, satirize Minnesota's massive child care debacle
Stephen Colbert and fellow late-night hosts are taking a well-deserved break from twisting the truth.
The Christmas/New Year’s Day holidays often mean late-night shows air reruns before new episodes start the first week in January.
Nothing unusual there.
What will be fascinating, though, is how these hard-Left propagandists grapple with the massive Minnesota day care scandal. The Legacy Media has done all it can to suppress the matter, but an intrepid YouTuber named Nick Shirley knocked on some doors and discovered what appears to be massive fraud within the state’s Somali community.
Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

Various versions of Shirley’s video have amassed north of 100 million views on social media. And growing.
So how will our Truth to Power™ satirists treat the shocking news? They’ll likely either ignore it or do what some media outlets like CNN have attempted.
Spin, spin spin … and/or attack Shirley, not those who are allegedly behind the scandal. Indie content creators would rather mock the latter.
So, before one of the Jimmys or Stephen can attempt to deflect from the scandal, the following X users are tackling the matter head on.

The Somali daycare centers are so empty that Andrew Tate could be allowed within 1,000 feet of them.

Starting a daycare center in Minneapolis might sound like a good business idea, but just be aware—there’s a steep learing curve.

I want to live between two day care centers in Minneapolis because I hate being around kids.

And, finally, a social media used Sora to generate a faux toy commercial tied to the scandal. It’s another reason Hollywood should fear A.I. – it empowers everyday citizens to satirize headlines that late-night hosts likely won’t.
