Vice President JD Vance discussed fraud afflicting Democratic-led states in an interview with Fox News’s Kayleigh McEnany on Saturday in America.
Vance, who has been leading the White House anti-fraud task force since March 2026, launched the task force to crack down on the misuse of taxpayer-funded welfare and healthcare programs.
He alleged that local officials were either ignoring or enabling the widespread fraud.
“Well, we just have to prosecute as much as we can and we have to accept that, yes, there are going to be some blue states that fight us. But that doesn’t mean we can’t do our job. And for every person that slips through the cracks because of a crooked judge, we’re going to get 10 people who actually go to prison or suffer real consequences for it and we’re also saving the American people a lot of money,” Vance said.
“You can have a fraudster, you can have them dead to rights, you can have them literally in a text message confessing to the crime but sometimes you’re still going to have corrupt judges,” Vance said.
