Vice President JD Vance made a surprising statement in Kansas City, Missouri, telling a crowd of supporters to vote against himself. “Vote against the crazy leadership in Washington, D.C.,” he said. The remarks came when Vance was in Kansas City to speak about the administration’s efforts to fight fraud.
According to HuffPost, Vance spoke out against billions of dollars in alleged Medicaid fraud, calling it “theft from you, and it’s also theft from the people who use the Medicare program to pay their bills.” His task force has already withheld $1.4 billion in federal funding following a crackdown on fraud operations in California, Minnesota, and other states.
