Vice President JD Vance discussed fraud afflicting Democratic-led states in an interview with Fox News’s Kayleigh McEnany on Saturday in America. 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.
Vance said that the administration anticipated pushback from judges in Democratic-led states, and is developing legal strategies to pursue prosecutions in jurisdictions it believes will be more favorable.
He also acknowledged that some cases may not move forward but said officials still expect to bring a substantial amount of prosecutions.
