Episode Details

Gov. Bob Ferguson is holding a fundraising lunch in Seattle with special guest Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, even as Walz faces intensifying scrutiny over a massive welfare fraud scandal in his state. Critics, including Washington State Republican Party Chair Jim Walsh, say Ferguson should have canceled the “poorly timed fundraiser,” while Democrats praise both governors as strong leaders during “tough times.” The House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into fraud in Minnesota’s social welfare programs, and online reaction to the Walz visit shows just how charged the optics have become. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/gov-fergusons-office-silent-on-walz-visit-amid-minnesota-fraud-crisis/
