Soros-Backed MN AG Keith Ellison Shrugs Off $9 BILLION Taxpayer Heist as ‘Not Serious’ [WATCH]

Rep. Eli Crane clashed with Keith Ellison and Rev. Mariah Tollgaard during a House Oversight Committee hearing examining fraud allegations tied to programs in Minnesota and the federal government’s response.

The exchange focused heavily on a prior interview Ellison gave on CNN NewsNight with Laura Coates, where he was asked about whether his office had done enough to address fraud estimates that could reach billions of dollars.

Crane began by referencing the CNN interview.

Here’s What They’re Not Telling You About Your Retirement

“I want to start with you, Attorney General Ellison, in an interview with CNN host Laura Coates, she asked you about whether or not you did enough to stop the fraud. Do you remember that interview,, Attorney General?” Crane asked.

Ellison responded that he did not recall the details.

“Congressman, I got to admit that I don’t remember the details.”

Crane then quoted Ellison’s previous remarks from the interview.

“I’ll just tell you what you said when she asked you if you’d done enough to stop the fraud, and she mentioned the $9 billion you said, of course, we have done enough. We’re doing more every single day. This is a political matter. This is not a serious thing. Do you remember saying that Attorney General Ellison?”

Ellison replied that he remembered the conversation but disputed the interpretation of his comments.

“I remember the conversation. What I remember was that I was lamenting the political, politicized nature of this very serious problem.”

Crane pressed Ellison further about the statement.

“You said it’s not a serious thing. So now you’re saying…”

Ellison responded, “Fraud id a serious thing”

Crane continued.

“Okay, well, that’s not what you said on CNN, Mr. Ellison, you said this is a political matter, and this is a quote. This is not a serious thing. So I notice you’re changing your tune now that you’re before the House Oversight Committee.”
