Nick Shirley, the right-wing influencer whose viral YouTube video claimed to uncover a purported $100 million fraud scheme involving Somali child care centers in Minnesota, posted to Instagram over the weekend announcing his arrival in California. “Secrets out,” Shirley wrote in an Instagram story set to Katy Perry’s “California Gurls.” It’s unclear what exactly Shirley plans to do, but he claims to be “investigating” Somali-run child care centers in California as well, according to posts that circulated on X over the weekend.

So random idiots that prove nothing and spout lies can just push the government over the edge to do what they want? It's really the worst it can get. Cant we just report the youtube channel in swarms until its taken down? Or does that just not work on evil people, only innocent ones?

Can someone make a channel pretending to be right wing and start making false accusations provided as proof that texas or florida is commiting fraud? The worst part is we absolutely know they do.
