Vice President JD Vance praised YouTuber Nick Shirley’s reporting on fraud in the state of Minnesota, stating that Shirley had “done far more useful journalism” than any of the 2024 winners of Pulitzer Prizes.

“This dude has done far more useful journalism than any of the winners of the 2024 @pulitzercenter prizes,” Vance wrote in a post on X.

Vance’s post came in response to a video posted on X, in which he and his team exposed “Minnesota fraud.” Shirley explained that he and his team “uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day.”

“Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet,” Shirley wrote. “We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable.”
