Tim Walz Mocks Trump's Obsession: 'No Somali Folks In Epstein Files'
During the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on alleged misuse of federal funds in Minnesota, Gov Walz blasted Trump's obsession with the state, brought up the Epstein files, and bashed him for political retribution by cutting off much-needed federal assistance.
In an earlier confrontation, James Comer asked why Walz did not order the stop or suspend welfare program payments, despite warnings of fraud.
“We’re not going to stop payments to feed children until we have the proof that things happen,” Walz said.
This time, Rep. Emily Randall asked about Trump's vengeful obsessions with Minnesota when there are much worse issues within his own administration.
RANDALL: Why do you think the Trump administration is so obsessed with fraud in Minnesota when its own agencies have found other states with even worse problems?
WALZ: Look, Congress, I don't know. I think it's been pretty clear the president does not like me personally. I think he continues to tell lies about our electoral system, claiming that he's won all three times when he lost all three times.
I think he has people around him who were trying to find quotas around immigration and they saw a perfect storm, if you will, that included some Somali folks and a whole lot, you know, if we're going to condemn folks, there's no Somali folks in the Epstein files, things like that.
We know.
But I don't know. It's an obsession. And I come back to it again.
