Vance says fraud is a "festering problem" and puts the blame on Joe Biden

[00:00:02]But because I love this state, I can say I am heartbroken by what has happened to the fraud that's being perpetrated on the taxpayers of this state. Because outside of Minnesota and California, which are probably number one and number two, if they're the gold gold medalist and the silver medalist, I heard somebody shout out New York.

[00:00:21]Maybe New York is the bronze medalist, but let me be honest, maybe Maine is the bronze medalist. Because if you look at the fraud that has happened in this state, if you look at the illegal immigrant communities who have taken benefits that ought by rights go to the people in this room, what you have in Maine is a festering problem where people have been taken advantage of and they've been stolen from and your government hasn't done anything about it. You ask yourself, why did Maine go from a state that did not have a serious fraud problem to one where I can honestly say it's one of the worst states in the union? And I'll give you two answers and two politicians.

[00:01:03]>> Number one is Janet Mills and number two is Joe Biden. And thankfully thankfully one of them has already been kicked to the curb and one is on her way out the door exactly as it should be.

[00:01:23]>> Now here here's what Paul Leage do. And I'm not just I'm not just blowing smoke, my friends. He took concrete action to try to fight back against fraud. He doubled the number of fraud investigations when he was the governor of this state. That's an amazing thing.

[00:01:37]He required personal photos on EBT cards so that we could make sure the people getting those benefits are the ones who deserve those benefits.

[00:01:47]And he cracked down on the international fraud rings that were taking taken advantage of this great state. You have to ask yourself, why is it that you have a government that seems more focused on the illegal aliens growing weed illegally than it is on the taxpayers of this state? Why is it that you have a government that seems not to care about you, but sure as hell cares about Somali fraudsters who are making millions and millions of dollars off of your taxpayer money? And the answer is because you have a governor who hasn't fought for you. Let's send a governor who did fight for you to the US Congress. Let's send Paul La Page to the US House.
