Vice President JD Vance blamed widespread fraud in Maine on Democratic congressional candidate and state auditor Matt Dunlap on Monday, accusing him of failing to protect taxpayer dollars as he campaigned for Republican former Gov. Paul LePage.

Vance, appearing alongside LePage in Brewer, Maine, also mocked Dunlap for previously having to step down as state auditor after failing to meet the position’s certification requirements.
