JUST IN: Democrat AGs REFUSE to Attend JD Vance’s Anti-Fraud Roundtable

As part of his anti-fraud initiative, Vice President JD Vance held a roundtable at the White House this afternoon.

He invited state Attorney Generals from around the nation to join him and participate in the important event.

But, while many Republican AGs attended the roundtable, not a single Democrat AG showed up!

Take a look:

NOW: EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT state Attorney General has REFUSED to show up for JD Vance’s anti-fraud roundtable at the White House

Republicans showed up, but Vance specifically sent out an olive branch and invited Dems.

THEY SAID NO.

They’re pro-fraud.

Nearly 2 dozen Democrat AGs cited time constraints as the reason they can’t show up. Yeah, sure.

Democrats = PARTY OF FRAUD

In total, sixteen Republican Attorney Generals attended today’s anti-fraud roundtable.

Every Democrat AG refused to accept Vance’s invitation, citing scheduling conflicts.

Very convenient, right?

CNBC reported:

Democratic state attorneys general declined an invitation to Vice President JD Vance’s anti-fraud initiatives roundtable at the White House on Tuesday, citing the fact that they were only invited on Friday, days after their Republican counterparts were asked to attend.

“While we would appreciate the opportunity to engage in serious discussions, the invitation was provided with less than one business day’s notice with no agenda,” the 24 attorneys general wrote Vance in a letter dated Tuesday, after the Memorial Day holiday.

“This short notice does not match the spirit of collaboration that has long defined our joint efforts with federal partners,” the letter said. “Accordingly, we respectfully decline to attend at this time.”

Among the attorneys general who declined to attend is Keith Ellison of Minnesota, whose state has been the focus of Trump administration actions targeting alleged Medicaid fraud schemes involving day care centers.

Some of the Democratic attorneys general scheduled a press conference about the situation for 4:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday, about two hours after the roundtable is scheduled to begin at the White House.

A person familiar with the situation, who asked not to be named in order to speak about non-public details of the event, told CNBC that Tuesday’s event was originally planned only for Republican attorneys general but that Vance personally said it would be a shame if Democrats did not participate. That person said the offices of multiple Democratic attorneys general would be represented at the event by their chiefs of staff or principal deputy attorneys general.

VP Vance invited these Attorney Generals to the White House today so that they could work together under the shared goal of combating fraud in their respective states.

At the opening of the roundtable, Vance noted that AGs know what’s happening in their own states better than anyone else — which, of course, is the exact reason why all of the Democrat AGs snubbed the event!

Watch this clip from the beginning of Vance’s roundtable:

Later, Vance addressed the Democrat AGs’ absence, rightfully noting that fighting fraud should not be a partisan issue.

“This should NOT be a partisan effort. EVERYBODY should care about fraud.”

“Everybody should care about rooting out fraud. Everybody should care about saving the American taxpayers money. And importantly, everybody should care about actually protecting the programs that only work and are only properly funded if it’s not if the money funding those programs isn’t being stolen by fraudsters.” 🔥

If this doesn’t show you exactly where Democrats stand on fraud, then I don’t know what will!
