Vance was addressing a crowd at Bangor International Airport as part of the Trump administration’s push to crack down on Medicaid and Medicare fraud.
The vice president was in the middle of discussing how the administration is going after waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars when he noticed the medical emergency unfolding in the audience.
“All I’m saying is that Donald Trump and J.D. Vance care about fraud and the people of the state. And care about your tax dollars going to where it’s actually supposed to go!” Vance said.
Vance stopped, then asked, “Guys, do we have somebody over here with an issue? Okay. Let’s get a doctor in here. Sounds like we have somebody that maybe fainted or—”
“Got him? Okay. All right,” Vance said, showing genuine concern.
“Ladies and gentlemen, if you would just make a pathway so that the law enforcement and doctors can get to that person. Are we okay? Are we good? She has care. Okay, sounds good,” Vance said.
Another person in the crowd shouted, “How about voter fraud?”
“I just want to be respectful. I will not answer any more questions here. I will let this person get the treatment and the care she needs,” Vance responded. “Let me just say two quick words. Number one, let’s all say a prayer for the friend here and make sure God looks after him or her, looks after her health.”
The VP quickly added, “And number two, what I would say is, it is the coolest job that I’ve ever had to be the vice president of this great country. It’s the coolest thing to be able to come here in the beautiful state of Maine and the beautiful month of May and to be able to spend time with you,” Vance said.
“Let me just say this job has given me more confidence than ever that this country, its best days are ahead of it! As much as I’m sometimes frustrated by Washington DC as much as I’m frustrated by the politicians who seem to care more about illegal aliens than the citizens of this country and the citizens of this state, what I have learned over the last 18 months is that we have the most talented, the most compassionate, and the toughest people anywhere in the world.”
