Republicans are trying their best to tie Democrats to fraud this election cycle. President Donald Trump has spent months hammering Minnesota for its handling of a welfare scheme. The Republican National Committee has referred to Maine’s governor, who is now running for Senate, as “Fraudulent Janet Mills.”
And the National Republican Congressional Committee has singled out multiple candidates who they say failed to stop fraud on their home turf.
“Billions of dollars intended for families and communities in need have been diverted to benefit fraudsters,” NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella said in a statement. “Working families are furious, and Democrats can’t run on ‘anti-corruption’ while their own states are ground zero for massive fraud.”
