Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine Defends Daycares Amid Viral Fraud Claims
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is pushing back against accusations that the state's Somali-run daycares are defrauding the public.
Viral claims of fraud had led to online outrage from Republicans in Minnesota and now in Columbus, Ohio, scrutinizing the city's Somali community.
"The Somalians are ripping off our country," President Donald Trump said Sunday. DeWine, after already fighting back on social media, held a press conference to dispute the viral claims.
"We are as vigilant as we can about fraud," the governor said Monday.
Some citizen "investigators" have claimed fraud since they are being denied entry when trying to film inside a daycare center.
"It shouldn't be a shock when you see something on social media, and someone is going, 'I can't get into this place, no one will let me in.' Well, hell no, no one should let him in," DeWine said.
