President Trump declared war on fraud and put Vice President J.D. Vance in charge of the effort.
It didn’t take long for Vane to strike paydirt.
And J.D. Vance raged over one fraud plot that is more nefarious than you think.
As Swamp Digest reports:
During his State of the Union speech, President Trump declared war on fraud.
And Trump tasked Vice President J.D. Vance with leading a task force targeting scams that rip off taxpayers.
Vance came right out of the gate swinging the next day when Vance announced the administration was withholding $260 million in Medicaid funding from Minnesota.
The Vice President explained that the task force took this move “to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people’s tax money.”
Minnesota’s been the poster child for blue states, allowing rampant fraud.
Federal prosecutors convicted nearly 60 Somali migrants of scamming taxpayers out of $9 billion from a federal meals program.
Independent journalist Nick Shirley then exposed $110,000,000 in payments for Somali daycare fraud.
All this fraud took place right under the nose of Tim Walz and the state’s other elected Democrats.
Vance explained to reporters that the government was withholding the Medicaid money to force Walz to take his role as a steward of taxpayer money.
“What we’re doing is we’re stopping the federal payments that will go to the state government until the state government takes its obligations seriously to stop the fraud that is being perpetrated against the American taxpayer,” Vance added.
“We’re announcing a six-month national moratorium blocking all new enrollments for durable medical equipment– prosthesis, orthotics– supplies across the board,” Vance went on to say, adding that this is “going to be effective, and it’s not going to touch the people who need these services.”
Vance added that he knew Democrats and their media allies would shriek that the administration was yanking food out of kids’ mouths.
But the Vice President said this is a lie and that the only people losing out were the scammers.
“The fact that we have so normalized this and the fact that I guarantee there are going to be voices in the media, there are going to be voices in the state of Minnesota who say this is hurting children. No, it’s hurting fraudsters,” Vance concluded. “The way to protect kids is to go after those fraudsters, which is what we’re doing.”
