    Nick Shirley, the “Minnesota Somalian daycare fraud” guy. If you watch him talk, or do much of anything, it is pretty clear he’s not particularly sharp.

      He did an interview with channel 5 and called out Andrew Callahan afterward saying they chopped the interview to make him look bad. Andrew responded and explained that they edit interviews in such a way to make them smoother without stops to clarify questions, ums and ahs. He also provided behind the scenes footage. This Nick Shirley guy isn’t very articulate or well versed in what he claims to be.

          This is fantastic. Just goes to show what kind of people that Shirley guy surrounds himself with already. He probably believes that being interviewed should only reflect the views he agrees with and not be a fair nuetral ground where if you fuck up then you fucked up. The people he surrounds himself with all edit those parts out which is half the problem on it’s own. I always liked Andrew for that reason, he definitely never seemed to take 1 side and has no problem showing captured footage of you making yourself look bad.

        It’s a exurb on the outskirts of Minneapolis. Mostly oil refineries but has a private high school with a really good hockey team.
