House GOP Subpoenas Walz Over Minnesota COVID Fraud Allegations
The Facts
US Rep. Virginia Foxx, the Republican Chairwoman of the US House Education and Workforce Committee, subpoenaed Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz over a $250M COVID fraud scheme.
The matter at hand involves the charity Feeding Our Future (FOF), which has been charged by the Department of Justice (DOJ) with receiving millions in federal funding for a child nutrition program, creating fake lists of children they were helping, and pocketing the money for themselves.
The Spin
It appears House Republicans are the only ones trying to find answers to why Minnesota allowed hundreds of millions of dollars to be stolen from hungry children. Even after the Democratic Attorney General opened an investigation into the matter, the left-wing press refuse to report on the role played by a man currently running for the second-highest office in the land.
Despite the governor not being at fault here, Walz did step up and take responsibility for the failures of his education department. Furthermore, several people who were at fault have already been brought to justice, something Walz is surely proud of. Republicans should stop playing politics and focus their ire on the real culprits.
