MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire admitted on Wednesday's "MS NOW Reports" that fraud investigations currently underway in Minnesota "actually began during the Biden administration," while simultaneously claiming President Trump wants to use the probes to "change the subject" from other issues.
The acknowledgment from the Atlantic staff writer raises serious questions about why the mainstream media largely ignored these investigations when they were launched under the previous administration, and what actions former President Biden took to address the alleged fraud.
Social media users were quick to point out the apparent double standard. "Do not Remember the MSM reporting on this when Biden was In office and what did Biden do, Nothing," wrote Twitter user @Woodrow17165268, highlighting the media's selective coverage of the investigations.
Questions About Timing and Political Motivations
The timing of these revelations has sparked additional scrutiny, particularly regarding Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's role as the Democratic vice presidential nominee in the 2024 election. "Why was the investigation stopped? Was it because they chose a clown Gov. for VP? Sure looks like it," questioned Twitter user @TimHorg37664992, suggesting political considerations may have influenced the handling of the fraud probes.
Lemire's comments appear to confirm that serious fraud investigations were indeed underway during the Biden years, contradicting the administration's public stance on election integrity issues. The fact that a liberal media figure is now acknowledging these investigations suggests the evidence may be too substantial to ignore.
Media Coverage Double Standard Exposed
The revelation highlights the stark difference in how mainstream media outlets cover fraud investigations depending on which administration is in power. While any Trump-era investigation receives wall-to-wall coverage, similar probes under Biden were apparently buried or ignored entirely.
President Trump has consistently maintained that election integrity must be a top priority, and these Minnesota investigations appear to validate concerns about fraud that were previously dismissed by Democrats and their media allies. The fact that even Biden's Justice Department felt compelled to launch these probes suggests the evidence of wrongdoing was compelling.
As these investigations continue under the Trump administration, Americans deserve transparency about what the previous administration knew and when they knew it.
