Keith Ellison had no answers during Minnesota fraud hearing: Joe Concha
Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha said Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison didn’t have any answers during his Capitol Hill hearings about the fraud in Minnesota because the evidence is “so overwhelming.”
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee held a hearing on Minnesota oversight on Thursday, where Ellison and other state leaders testified about the fraud scandals gripping the state.
“I’m sorry, if you’re at the top of leadership in Minnesota, whether you’re [Gov.] Tim Walz, whether you’re [Minneapolis Mayor] Jacob Frey, whether you’re, obviously, Keith Ellison, or a congresswoman like [Rep.] Ilhan Omar, things are going to get very uncomfortable,” Concha said on Fox & Friends First Friday.
“It’s not a good time to be a politician in Minnesota right now.”
During the hearing, Ellison had a heated exchange with Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), in which Hawley said the Minnesota attorney general “ought to be in jail.”
Concha agreed with Hawley that the evidence is “overwhelming” because it’s “on tape.”
“It’s not a couple thousand dollars here and there; we’re talking 9 billion to scratch the surface, it’s probably even much higher than that,” Concha said. “And now we’re seeing the same types of situations in places like California, for example.”

Concha said things are now “coming to light” in Minnesota about the fraud.
“It is coming to light now, at least, that this is probably the worst-run state in the country and that’s saying a lot right now,” he said.
