"Gov. Walz, what is a woman? Have you learned that lesson? Mace asked 63 seconds into her allotted time. I'm the governor of Minnesota, congresswoman, I'm not here to be your prop for your obsession! Walz shot back. So if you can't define what a woman is, you can't define fraud, Mace told him."
"Federal prosecutors claimed last December that more than $9 billion in taxpayer dough was ripped off. Walz got into it with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) earlier in the hearing over the fraud claims, with Jordan yelling somebody's lying! about it—either Walz or a state judge who said the governor restarted the payments a month after whistleblowers raised concerns in 2021."
"Jordan then questioned if Walz ignored the fraud because he feared political backlash from the Somali community in Minnesota; the representative said he believed that is exactly why Walz kept payments flowing. Mace later said Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) allowed one of the worst government fraud scandals in American history to happen on their watch."
During a House Oversight Committee hearing on a major fraud scandal in Minnesota, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) asked Gov. Tim Walz (D) to define what a woman is, repeating a question from a previous June 2025 hearing. Walz refused to answer, calling it an obsession and prop. Mace argued that inability to define a woman meant inability to define fraud. The hearing also featured contentious exchanges between Walz and Rep. Jim Jordan over federal prosecutors' claims that over $9 billion in taxpayer funds were fraudulently obtained. Jordan questioned whether Walz ignored the fraud due to political concerns about the Somali community. Mace characterized the situation as one of the worst government fraud scandals in American history.
