Gov Gavin Newsom Is Now Trying to Take Credit for Cracking Down on California Fraud. Don't Let Him. As another Dem Politician lies about the Trump Feds anti-Fraud effort under VP Vance. https://t.co/oTyXwso1Gx
Typical democrat, knows about all the fraud since 1979 but doesn't do anything about it. Trump actually does, major difference.

@Chicago1Ray This is the type of fraud that has been going on under the watch of Gavin Newsom. He and his DEMOCRAT have presided over this. It is great the State of California is under investigation.
They say the estimated fraud in California in the last decade is $180 billion to over $250 billion…. Yet it says in the last decade (roughly 2016–2026), California has recovered or "found" approximately $8.6 billion in confirmed fraudulent payments. Sooooo I think he’s NOT DOING HIS JOB.

@WallStreetApes @derekahunter Coincidentally, Gavin Newsom has been governor of California for seven years. Yesterday — in a gaslighting champion moment — Newsom posted: “California is again leading the charge against large-scale identity theft and hospice fraud.”
