‘Panicked’ Minnesota Dems block fraud investigation, effort to impeach Walz, Ellison

As expected, Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota rallied around Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, blocking a Republican effort to launch an impeachment investigation into massive fraud in the state, including alleged “corrupt conduct” by both Walz and Ellison.

A resolution taken up by the Minnesota House Rules and Legislative Administration Committee to launch an impeachment investigation and allow the committee to hold hearings and issue subpoenas was blocked after all eight Democrats on the committee voted against it, Fox 9 Minneapolis reported.

“This is a fundamentally unserious proposal by a fundamentally unserious party who isn’t interested in governing,” Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) Rep. Michael Howard said about the accountability effort.

Minnesota House Fraud Committee Chair Rep. Kristin Robbins (R) responded on X: “Despite years of whistleblower reports, dozens of hearings & local news stories, & court convictions, Democrats CONTINUE to block any investigation of Tim Walz. They protect each other to protect their political base.”

Robbins responded to an X post by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage, who wrote, “Minnesotans lost $9B in taxpayer dollars to just 14 Medicaid programs under Tim Walz’s administration. Today, every single Democrat in Rules Committee voted to block an investigation into that fraud.”

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
