WATCH: Dem Shouts Over Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak, Calls His Medicaid Fraud Findings ‘Ridiculous’

A furious Democratic lawmaker interrupted Daily Wire investigative reporter Luke Rosiak’s Capitol Hill testimony on Wednesday, shouting over Rosiak as he spoke about the massive Medicaid fraud he exposed as part of an explosive, multi-part investigation.

“I’m not waiting on the committee, but this is ridiculous,” Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) exclaimed as Rosiak was in the middle of his testimony. 

Brown, who represents Ohio’s 11th district covering Cleveland, is not even a member of the bipartisan task force, which includes six Republicans and four Democrats.

“This is not your committee. You are not recognized,” Chairman Gill responded. 

“This is absolutely absurd,” Brown replied. 

Another Democratic lawmaker jumped in, questioning the fairness of the hearing. 

“I hope you’re gonna be fair in this hearing,” Congresswoman Lateefah Simon (D-CA) said. 

On Wednesday, the House Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses held its first hearing, dubbed “Universal Basic Fraud: Vulnerabilities in Medicaid Waiver Programs.” Task Force Chairman Brandon Gill (R-TX) said the task force is “going after institutions that stopped fearing accountability and abused the American people.”

Recent reporting by The Daily Wire highlighted how state oversight agencies failed to stop shell companies from allegedly operating out of empty offices that billed taxpayers for services that were never performed.

On Capitol Hill, tensions flared as Rosiak detailed the scope and enablers of the rampant fraud.

“Companies are committing fraud by paying kickbacks for no-show jobs. The patients are committing fraud, but we’re just beginning to look into the root of the monster, the network of doctors who rubber-stamp this fraud,” Rosiak said. “That’s a criminal enterprise.” 

Republican members of the committee appeared more receptive to The Daily Wire’s reporting. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) entered all five of Rosiak’s investigative reports on fraud into the Congressional Record.

Congressman @ByronDonalds just had ALL FIVE of @lukerosiak‘s Medicaid fraud investigations introduced into the Congressional Record!

Before the chaos, Rosiak detailed how members of the Somali community in Columbus, Ohio, have exploited healthcare programs. 

“Whistleblowers in the area tell me companies knock on doors in ethnic neighborhoods where most people are on Medicaid, and most people live in multi-generational households, and they tell the older family member to go to particular doctors and plan particular symptoms,” Rosiak testified to the committee. “Then they will put the younger family member on their payroll with the parent as their only patient.”

“I visited hundreds of home healthcare companies and only saw, I think, two people who didn’t have an accent,” he added.
