U.S. House of Representatives for Texas’s 26th Congressional District, Brandon Gill accused Democrats of operating what he described as a corrupt welfare-based patronage system that misuses American tax dollars and, in some cases, may have allowed funds to be diverted overseas to extremist groups.
Gill said recent estimates suggest taxpayer money connected to U.S. welfare programs may have been funneled to Al-Shabaab terrorists in Somalia, calling the situation a serious national concern that Democrats have failed to confront.
“There’s estimates now that this money could have been funneled to Al Shabaab terrorists in Somalia,” Gill said.
