20251211 Hewitt The New Democratic Political Machine

Thursday, December 11, 2025

George Washington Plunkitt was born into poverty in 1842 but rose through the ranks of the Democratic Party machine of New York the famed “Tammany Hall” to become a state legislator who also became quite wealthy along the way.

Now: We have a new sort of Democratic Party machine—with the latest grift exposed in Minnesota.

Boss Plunkitt would admit it brazenly, saying: “I seen my opportunities and I took ‘em.”

And today’s Democrats sure have “taken ’em” as well.

It’s not just Minnesota. California—and other blue states—are drowning in fraud.

The connecting thread are the various schemes associated with COVID—state government “initiatives” that were porous and loaded with fraud funded by the Feds.

The president should create and team and dig deep on all of it.  We need a report—and we need it fast.

Give them a deadline: Maybe end of August next year. Voters deserve to know how their state governments worked during COVID—or how they didn’t—before they vote again.
