2 verifications about JD Vance JD Vance ×
“On August 5, 2026, U.S. Vice President J. D. Vance said that the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud had identified $230 billion in fraud since its establishment, based on what he described as a conservative estimate.”
The statement accurately describes Vance’s August 5 remarks. A direct recording and multiple contemporaneous reports confirm that he attributed $230 billion in identified fraud to the White House task force and called the figure conservative. This verifies that he made the assertion, not that every dollar was independently established as criminal fraud.
“In a September 2026 podcast interview, Vice President JD Vance said that he would not be shocked if the Antichrist were walking among us.”
Multiple reputable outlets confirm that Vance said he would not be shocked if the Antichrist were “walking among us.” The podcast was released on August 31, 2026, rather than during September, when much of the reporting appeared. That minor timing discrepancy does not change the substance of the accurately presented quotation.
