YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A heated exchange took place between Sen. Josh Hawley and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison about fraud during an immigration oversight hearing, which ended with Hawley telling Ellison he “ought to be in jail.”

"You helped fraudsters defraud your state and this government of $9 billion, and you’ve got a fat campaign contribution out of it. You ought to be indicted. That’s the truth," Hawley said.

Ellison denied the accusations, calling them a lie and described the exchange as "a theatrical performance."

The exchange ended with both men telling the other they should resign.
