A whistleblower who says she was demoted after exposing Minnesota’s $250 million COVID fraud wants Rep. Ilhan Omar forced to testify, she said this week, as The Post obtained an audio clip of one of the fraudsters crediting the embattled pol with the explosion in popularity of the feeding program, later revealed to be a massive scheme.
Faye Bernstein, a Minnesota Department of Health Services employee, was one of the first whistleblowers of the rampant fraud, raising the alarm to higher-ups as early as 2019.
“It’s hard to believe that when she was doing appearances from a restaurant we now know was a Feeding Our Future fraud site – a major one, possibly the major one – that she was completely clueless,” Bernstein told The Post. “Her record doesn’t look too well.”
She was referring Omar’s now infamous video appearance on Somali TV Minnesota in 2020, serving meals at Minneapolis’ Safari restaurant, whose owner, Salim Said, was convicted of defrauding the government of $16 million — the highest sum in the Feeding Our Future scheme.
Her comments echo those of Aimee Bock, the founder of Feeding Our Future who was just handed a four-decade sentence and who told The Post last week in a front page story it was hard to believe Omar didn’t know anything about the scheme. Omar called the claim “flat out false.”
“And if she was completely clueless, she better fire all of her staff that were supposed to be evaluating. Because somebody didn’t do any review of the background of that place,” Bernstein said.
She added: “I would love to see her come and testify. In the case of both Attorney General Ellison and her, their complete lack of contrition – their indignant attitude in dealing with these investigations has not served them well.”

Important fact #1) Whistleblowers are protected by law against repercussions.
Important fact #2) Whistleblowers are almost always stomped on and face severe repercussions for causing trouble.
Somali Skank will NOT testify.
Omar thinks she can deny it all, hide the millions, and get away scot free. Because she always has.
Omar is going to need a bigger RACE CARD. Her big muzzie mouth is big enough.
I would love to see her come and testify. In the case of both Attorney General Ellison and her, their complete lack of contrition – their indignant attitude in dealing with these investigations has not served them well.”
Talk about an understatement.
Because nobody has the resolve to call this POS out and do something about it. If your skin color is anything other than WHITE, it's a given to use the race card.
Import a bunch of people from a failed nation known for its pirates. Accuse the people who point out how foolish this was of racism. Enjoy the kick backs from the invaders and invite in even more! Yep . Sounds like a plan.
“Somali Skank will NOT testify.”
Don’t waste any time-just deport the criminal bulbhead!
Will never happen, she’s protected.
The Rats have too much to lose if she loses her seat.

A Minnesota Dept of Health Services employee, was one of the
first whistleblowers raising the alarm to higher-ups as early as 2019.
“It’s hard to believe that when Omar was doing campaign appearances from a restaurant which was a key player in the Somali “Feeding Our Future” fraud that she was completely clueless,” Bernstein told The Post. “Her record doesn’t look too good.”
She was referring Omar’s now infamous video appearance on Somali TV Minnesota in 2020, serving meals at Minneapolis’ Safari restaurant, whose owner, Salim Said, was convicted of defrauding the government of $16 million — the highest sum in the Somali “Feeding Our Future” fraud scheme.
Omar also received campaign donations from Somali fraudsters.
She came to this country claiming asylum from tribal warfare when her own damn family has the most violent warlords in Somalia. They’ve killed thousands of people. Then she married her own brother to get him over here as well and they’ve stolen MILLIONS from the American taxpayers who were kind enough (or stupid enough) to believe her made up sob story. That bitch deserves to be burned at the stake.
That much money does not pass through any hands without some greedy politician knowing about it. Not only did she know about it but she facilitated it to her clan of tribal turds.
‘’she’s the one who married her brother’’
Who paid for the wedding?
Good idea!
