WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla on Fox News Radio to discuss the upcoming testimony of Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Watch the full interview here.
"Him and Keith Ellison knew this was going on. They actually did nothing to stop it, and some of the administration under Tim Walz was intimidating whistleblowers":
"You know, he's [Tim Walz] probably going to try to dodge or place blame on somebody else. But he knew this was happening, Jimmy, and he let it continue. That's what's damning about Tim Walz. Him and Keith Ellison knew this was going on. They actually did nothing to stop it, and some of the administration under Tim Walz was intimidating whistleblowers. So, if you know people are stealing and then you blame the people who were trying to bring it to light, then you're culpable. You're part of it. And that's the way I look at it. So, I don't even really know what he's going to say, but honestly, it doesn't matter what he's going to say. This is why he chose not to run for reelection, because remember, Jimmy, Tim Walz was running for reelection to be governor again until this broke. I remember it like it was yesterday. The second the story started coming out about this, all of a sudden, Tim Walz wanted to spend time with his family. And I'm like, nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. You are in it. You are in it. You were for it. You let it happen, and you know how bad it is. And that's why he's not running for reelection as governor in Minnesota. Good riddance!"
"This Walz administration, they didn't want to hear it. Matter of fact, they protected it":
"It was their state auditors. It was employees in the state system. They are the ones who were bringing it to light. Obviously, you had the Republicans in the Minnesota assembly who wanted to investigate, and you know how this goes. The Democrats were blocking, they were dissembling, and that's how it goes. So, you had state employees trying to bring this thing to light, saying, 'Hey, this is wrong. This is fraud, and this money is being taken away from people who truly need it.' This Walz administration, they didn't want to hear it. Matter of fact, they protected it. And that's, I think, where a lot of this stuff's going to come out tomorrow is how much they were going through protecting this stuff."
