Vice President Vance: Welfare Fraud Creates Two Victims–Taxpayers And Those Denied Legitimate Services

Vice President JD Vance spoke in Bangor on Thursday at Bangor International Airport about the Trump administration’s push to combat fraud nationwide and the task force he has been put in charge of managing. Vance said fraud creates two fundamental victims – taxpayers whose money is misused and those who are denied legitimate services. So let me ask you this simple question, do you like having a government official who fights for illegal aliens over you? Do you like having a state governor who doesn’t work with the federal government to fight against fraud? he says. So, let’s kick Janet Mills to the curb, and let’s send Paul LePage to Washington to help us fight the fraudsters and protect all of you. I can’t promise but I suspect we’re going to find hundreds of millions of more dollars every single month that we look in the state of Maine, because this is not a state that takes it seriously, Vance said.
