# Ellison Blames GOP for Not Doing Enough on Massive COVID Fraud Scandal – But Where’s the Real Accountability?
In a jaw-dropping segment on CNN’s The Source, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) patted federal authorities on the back for their crackdown on the Feeding Our Future scandal – a staggering $250 million COVID-era fraud scheme involving fake schools, sham meals, and insider cronies funneling cash to terrorists and luxury lifestyles. Ellison praised the feds for doing a good job, but then pivoted to finger-wagging at Minnesota Republicans for supposedly not stepping up enough. Never mind that this boondoggle exploded under Democratic control, with Ellison’s own office dragging its feet amid allegations of soft-pedaling investigations tied to his political allies. The source text cuts off mid-sentence, but the implication is clear: deflect, deny, and blame the opposition while billions in taxpayer dollars vanish into thin air.
This isn’t just bureaucratic finger-pointing; it’s a masterclass in political hypocrisy with ripple effects far beyond Minnesota. Democrats like Ellison championed the unchecked flood of federal funds during the pandemic – programs that bypassed oversight and greased the wheels for grift on an epic scale. Republicans calling for audits and clawbacks? Labeled as obstructionists. The real scandal? How this fraud underscores the perils of Big Government overreach, where emergency spending morphs into slush funds with zero accountability. Enter the 2A community: this is our fight too. The same apparatus pushing gun control – ATF stings, red flag laws, and fraudulent FFL revocations – relies on the trust of competent, non-corrupt enforcement. When feds do a good job on one scam but botch others (like Fast and Furious), it erodes faith in the system. 2A advocates must highlight how fiscal fraud like Feeding Our Future starves funding for actual public safety, inflating budgets for anti-gun crusades while criminals feast.
The implications scream for action: Minnesota GOP should double down on forensic audits, claw back every dime, and expose the Democrat enablers. For the 2A world, it’s a rallying cry – demand the same prosecutorial zeal against gun-grabbers as against fraudsters. If Ellison wants help, start with transparency on why his office ignored red flags for years. This story isn’t over; it’s a blueprint for why limited government and vigilant oversight protect our rights. Stay armed, informed, and unapologetic.
