Yes, I can.
In my opening statement, I mentioned that the most severe ones was that they would be fired with cause, so they couldn't have unemployment insurance, that they would be blacklisted from all state agencies, and I would bet that it's also Hennepin County and Ramsey County, as you know, those are Democrat-run, and much, much more.
-
Based on what you've learned, Representative, over the last several years, do you have any doubt that Governor Tim Walz knew about this fraud as it was occurring?
-
He absolutely knew that it was occurring.
-
Thank you.
The Housing Stability Services Program was estimated to cost about $2.6 million per year, but before it was shut down last October, it was on track to run about $122 million in 2025.
In fact, I think they sucked $161 million out of it from the point it started in 2020 until it was finally shut down.
Isn't that correct?
-
That is correct, and Joe Thompson believes that 90% of that was fraud.
Yeah. The Quality Learing Center, as uncovered by Nick Shirley, received almost $10 million in funding.
Is that accurate?
-
I believe it is.
-
There are more than 80 autism centers in Minnesota under investigation. Is that true?
I believe it is, yes.
-
It's clear that someone is criminally complicit.
You can't just let this amount of money get out of your administration over a period of seven years without knowing.
There was a hearing in the state regarding the fraudulent housing stabilization program, but before that hearing, Governor Walz fired the official who was slated to testify so that they could not testify and expose what was happening under Governor Walz's watch.
Has Governor Walz or Attorney General Ellison fired anyone else to your knowledge, Representative?
-
Not to my knowledge, and that was Eric Rumdahl, and his administration believes that he was not fired.
But I say he was fired because it was too convenient.
-
Right.
Representative Hudson, is it true that 90% of the individuals charged, regardless of what your colleague on the panel just said, with his facts and figures, 90% of the individuals charged or indicted with the $250 million "feeding our future" COVID fraud are of Somali descent?
-
I believe that to be correct.
-
Are you aware that in a 2021 video, Mr. Ellison promised that he would obstruct his own agencies in their investigation of Somali fraud?
-
I am very much aware of that.
-
It's no wonder that criminals in the Somali community felt they were free to steal taxpayer dollars.
I'm going to ask you the same question I asked Marion.
Do you have any doubt that Tim Walz knew about this fraud as it was occurring?
-
None whatsoever.
-
Walz and Ellison were protecting fraudsters instead of investigating them, and it was purposeful.
And it's no coincidence that this is occurring largely in the Somali community.
Walz made a sanctuary state, Minnesota a sanctuary state.
He gave free health care, free college, and free licenses to illegals.
