Congressman James Comer of Kentucky is the chair of the House Oversight Committee. During a recent appearance on FOX News, Comer described the massive fraud uncovered in Minnesota as just the ‘tip of the iceberg.’
Comer indicated that other blue states will be investigated for similar problems.
This is likely the reason why so many blue states have been so reluctant to turn over their SNAP data to Trump Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins. They know that any examination of this data is likely to uncover huge amounts of fraud and abuse.
If things were this bad in Minnesota, just imagine what’s going on in places like California and New York.
Partial transcript via NewsBusters:
The massive fraud being exposed in Minnesota is just “the tip of the iceberg,” when it comes to social program scams in states run by Democrat governors, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said Wednesday.
Democrat governors like Minnesota’s Tim Walz insist on pouring tax money into social programs where fraud is pervasive – even when they’re alerted to the fraud by whistleblowers, Comer said in an interview with Fox News:
“The fraud entailed a whole menu of government programs – social programs. And that’s the kind of the mojo for the Democrat Party now: they want to sink more and more money into social programs, but yet they refuse to accept responsibility for any type of waste, fraud and abuse.”…
“This is the tip of the iceberg and I think this investigation could lead to many more investigations in other states and, hopefully finally, some savings of taxpayer dollars.”

Over $1 BILLION in taxpayers’ money was fleeced by scammers.

Comer is taking the situation in Minnesota very seriously.
NewsMax reports:
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chair of the House Oversight Committee, demanded information from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz about reports of widespread fraud in the state’s social services programs.
“The Committee has serious concerns about how you as the Governor, and the Democrat-controlled administration, allowed millions of dollars to be stolen,” Comer wrote in a letter to Walz.
“The Committee also has concerns that you and your administration were fully aware of this fraud and chose not to act for fear of political retaliation.
“The Committee therefore requests documents and communications showing what your administration knew about this fraud and whether you took action to limit or halt the investigation into this widespread fraud.”
It’s hard to imagine how much fraud could be uncovered in a thorough investigation. It’s probably in the hundreds of billions.
