Rodriguez: It was at least 20 times more expensive than the average detention center. $1.4 billion paid for by Floridians to help the contributors of my opponent. He did the whole thing to get a pat on the head from the president. He got it and left us with the mess.

Trump says he’s going to “cut Medicare fraud.” But you don’t “cut” fraud, you “catch” fraud. And the DOJ that Trump wants to dismantle is who catches Medicare fraud. What Trump really wants is to cut Medicare itself.
