Rep. Brandon Gill backs Ken Paxton in Texas Senate race and defends viral Ohio Medicaid fraud questions

In an interview with the Ruthless Podcast, Representative Brandon Gill (R-Texas) gave a behind-the-scenes look at his recent viral fraud hearing and the Senate race in his home state."I mean, we’re literally talking about people who are like finding people off the street, working with fraudulent LLCs to funnel your tax dollars to people to provide services that are not being provided," Gill said in an interview released Friday morning."I don’t like being called racist, but I dislike seeing our tax dollars burn every single day a whole lot more."During a hearing of the Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses, Gill asked an Ohio legislator whether Somali immigration has been positive for the Buckeye State.
