Shirley’s video has accumulated 3 million views in a week on YouTube and 135 million views on X. Attorney General Pam Bondi applauded Shirley’s video and said the Justice Department has been investigating fraud claims in Minnesota for months. Skeptics of Shirley’s claims have said childcare centers are locked for safety, and they question whether he visited during normal operating hours. Shirley told CNN that he went about 11 a.m. one day to a childcare center and “later” the next. Wild was seen in the CNN story calling some of the childcare centers featured in Shirley’s video.
