With Tim Walz subpoena, Congress demands the answers on COVID fraud that the media won’t ask

The House Education and Workforce Committee is yet again doing the job the media won’t, by holding Dem VP hopeful Tim Walz accountable for his atrocious record as Minnesota governor — this time over an infamous, massive episode of COVID fraud. 

Quick recap: A Minnesota charity, Feeding Our Future, took advantage of pandemic-era rules that let student-meal programs cooperate off school grounds to run as many as 250 utterly fake meal-assistance sites to siphon off close to a cool $250 million in federal aid funds. 

That was spent not on feeding kids but on things like luxury cars and high-end real estate; per Attorney General Merrick Garland, it was the single biggest pandemic scam for which charges have yet been brought.  

And it all happened on Walz’s watch, as his Department of Education was supposed to be providing oversight.

Now, Walz faces a big-time document subpoena from the committee, chaired by indefatigable Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) — in service of digging up answers to the hard questions around the fraud.  

Questions that should have been asked by every journo in America the day his name was pulled out of the veepstakes hat. 

Above all: How can Americans now trust you in the second-highest office in the land?

The COVID scam was public and appalling — it literally stole food from the mouths of hungry kids — and he was the man in charge of the state where it happened.

Yet in general, Americans heard only the most muted response to this Walz scandal from the press.

As we have on his drunk-driving lies, his lies about his service, his disastrous delay in deploying the National Guard during the Floyd riots and on and on and on. 

If the legacy media had its way, Walz would waltz into office with zero scrutiny. 

So kudos to Foxx & Co. — but it’s still beyond pathetic Congress has to do the actual journalism these days.
