Image Credit: Jim WATSON / AFP via Getty Images Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) was raked over the coals Wednesday, as the Republican-led House Oversight Committee grilled him on the skyrocketing costs of his state’s federally-funded welfare programs and illegal alien population.
Members of the GOP took turns picking apart Walz, who ran as Kamala Harris’ vice presidential nominee, questioning him on why his administration bent over backwards to funnel federal money into social services, and provided driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) cornered Walz in a back-and-forth asking why he restarted payments to the “Feeding Our Future” Somali fraudsters, even after they were under investigation for international money laundering.
Tim Walz might have just landed himself in prison.

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) questioned why whistleblowers claimed Walz’s staff had insinuated that officials “identifying fraud” could be perceived as racist or Islamophobic.

*long pause*

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) brought out a chart illustrating the skyrocketing federal costs to the state’s autism programs, frustrating Walz to no end.
In 2017, $1 Million was spent on autism in Minnesota.

In 2024, that number exploded to $343 Million.
Thats a 34200% increase.
Governor Tim Walz pretends not to be aware.

Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas) slammed Walz for claiming Minnesota’s Somali community “has successfully assimilated,” arguing the group’s strain on social programs far outweighs that of native Minnesotans.

REP. FALLON: When Obama was choosing his VP, he wanted to make sure they weren't as smart as him and had less talent… So he picked Biden
And then Biden in 2020 did the same, picking Harris
In 2024, it's evident why Harris picked you 🔥 pic.twitter.com/a3Nx7Ucv8N
Walz was also grilled on his state’s issuance of driver’s licenses to illegal aliens who can barely speak a lick of English, let alone read and properly interpret road signs.

Walz’s “driver’s licenses for all” policy came under scrutiny last month after an illegal alien truck driver who had obtained a CDL from Minnesota was seen driving an 18-wheeler the wrong way on a highway in Missouri.

SHOCKER!
Tim Walz's Minnesota granted the driver a license, and he can't even read ROAD SIGNS.
It's time to TOTALLY DEFUND Minnesota.… pic.twitter.com/eqEbpDtMn4
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) also descended on Walz after the Democrat governor couldn’t recognize the names of Americans who had been killed at the hands of illegal aliens in his state.
