It's another day in Minnesota which means it is another day RINOs will backstab their conservative base. The story repeats itself over and over again. Republicans squander the power they have and fall prey to the Uniparty’s liberal, big government demands. This was on full display in the Minnesota House on Thursday, May 7th as only two Republicans voted against a multi-subject and unconstitutional omnibus Health spending bill (SF4612) expanding free healthcare for refugees and other noncitizens.

That’s right - only TWO Republicans voted against this unconstitutional omnibus bill! See vote below:

The votes of Davis and Roach are interesting to compare with the votes of other Freedom Caucus members like Marj Fogleman (21B) and Mike Wiener (5B). Fogleman didn’t vote at all and Wiener voted with the RINOs! With Wiener having voted for this bill and refusing to vote up or down on gun control and advancing an anti-ICE bill, some conservatives are wondering if he should be stripped of his SD5 GOP endorsement for State Senate.

RINOs excused their votes because the bill also contained some conformity pieces of the Big Beautiful Bill signed into law by President Trump. Of course, there was other pork and big government policy tucked in the legislation. 

As seen on pages 51 and 52 of SF4612, this bill clearly expands free healthcare (Medical Assistance) to more refugees/noncitizens! The taxpayer-funded healthcare coverage already covered Cuban and Haitian migrants but now MN and U.S. taxpayers would be on the hook to cover the costs for certain migrants from Micronesia, Marshall Islands, and Palau! See below:

While much of the federal conformity in the bill were good measures, the GOP could have punished fraud-loving Tim Walz and Keith Ellison by playing hard-ball and blocking the legislation.

If the bill did not pass, President Trump was going to withhold BILLIONS in tax dollars from Minnesota! With Minnesota being the Fraud Capital of the world, that may be EXACTLY what our state government needs to wake up! Minnesota should have Medicaid funds frozen when they are being funneled to Somali fraudsters instead of law-abiding Minnesotans!

As seen in the House floor debate, Rep. Ben Davis explained the issue with multi-subject omnibus bills then proposed an amendment so that federal conformity pieces of the legislation could be voted on separately from the rest of the bill. This failed due to a 67-67 party line vote.

Weak Republicans are the Democrats’ favorite opponents. Democrats always seem to win in Minnesota because Republicans never hold the line when our tax dollars or liberties are on the line.
