Independent journalist Nick Shirley has alleged that it's becoming increasingly hazardous for him to stay at hotels due to constant doxxing and assassination plots. Shirley gained attention last year for exposing a massive fraud involving taxpayer dollars in Minnesota's daycare system.
Appearing on Fox News, Shirley stated that a specific date is approaching when someone allegedly planned an assassination attempt on him. He added, 'Danger is real. I've had death threats, and one of them was even very specific about the date. It's actually supposed to be coming up very soon, the date that they said they'd kill me.'
Shirley also shared an instance where people were trying to dox his location live while he was staying at a hotel in California. He explained, 'You just get all these death threats. You get doxing. But the majority of the public are very thankful. When I'm out in public, so many people come up to me and say thank you.'
Last year, Shirley claimed that corruption is rampant in Minnesota, specifically exposing a Somali-run daycare fraud. His exposés led to the Minnesota fraud row, which resulted in 98 people being charged and over 60 found guilty. Tim Walz, the former governor of Minnesota, dropped his re-election campaign amid the controversy.
