"Let me just begin by making this plain. Credible fraud must be investigated and prevented. Every dollar that is stolen from public programs is a dollar that has been taken from a child who needs care, a senior who needs food, or a family that is already struggling to make ends meet. Ms. Robbins, I want to just begin with a basic question, and please answer yes or no."
"Pressley continued to grill the witnesses for several minutes and sparred with them over Trump's pardons of fraudsters before getting to January 6th. Now, yesterday was the five-year anniversary, and I want to note the January 6th insurrection. And on Donald Trump's first day in office, he pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists, including Brian Christopher Mock, who's from Minnesota. Are y'all gonna say you don't know who that is? He's from Minnesota."
Rep. Ayanna Pressley questioned GOP witnesses during a House Oversight hearing on alleged widespread fraud in Minnesota's Somali community and was cut off. Pressley emphasized that credible fraud must be investigated and that stolen public dollars harm children, seniors, and struggling families. She asked whether convicted fraudsters should be held accountable and elicited replies calling for prosecution, firing liable officials, and jailing perpetrators. Republicans Rep. Nancy Mace and Chairman James Comer intervened, claiming Pressley's questioning had gone off the rails. Pressley also raised concerns about President Trump pardoning insurrectionists, citing Brian Christopher Mock from Minnesota.
