Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz is finally facing up to his state’s widespread fraud accusations and predictably doesn’t have much to say for himself.
On Wednesday, Walz and Minnesota Democratic Attorney General Keith Ellison testified before the House Oversight Committee, which was holding a hearing on misuse of government funds.
As a part of that hearing, Texas Republican Rep. Brandon Gill took to grilling Walz for the idiocy that is branding anyone who calls out the actions of the Somali community racist or Islamophobic.
One exchange between the two, later posted to social media platform X, involved Gill asking about Faye Bernstein, a compliance officer at the Department of Human Services in Walz’s state.
KMSPreported in 2019 that Bernstein faced retaliation over calling out problems with state contracts. After her whistleblowing, a watchdog found $29 million in unauthorized payments to two Native American tribes.
“Yes, I’m familiar with the name,” Walz told Gill after asking about her.
After confirming Bernstein was a Democrat, Gill proceeded with her story. “She’s also stated publicly she was retaliated against and called racist and that her work responsibilities were diminished whenever she was highlighting fraud within your administration. Are you familiar with that?”

“Do you think it’s racist or Islamophobic to highlight and try to stop fraud…that was the message your administration was sending to multiple whistleblowers.”pic.twitter.com/7QWJZdMNuV
