Golf great Phil Mickelson: 'CA fraud makes MN fraud look like amateurs'
Golf legend Phil Mickelson shared his thoughts on alleged fraud occurring in his home state of California in a series of social media posts.
President Donald Trump said during a New Year’s Eve event Wednesday that fraud in California, New York and Illinois is worse than the recently uncovered welfare fraud in Minnesota.
Mickelson responded on X to comments made by Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., during a Fox Business interview and later a CNN interview, condemning a recently proposed billionaire’s tax in California while alleged fraud is taking place.
“No amount of tax can help CA until the fraud problem gets fixed. CA fraud makes MN look like amateurs,” Mickelson wrote.
“Instead of stopping the fraud and theft and getting back the money, the plan is more taxesfor already the highest taxed citizens in the country.”
In response to a local opinion column on the proposed billionaire’s tax, Mickelson later wrote, “How about no new taxes until government gets rid of fraud. Until that happens more taxes will only fund more fraud.”
In another post, Mickelson suggested stopping the fraud would cost Democrats votes.
