Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance ripped the Biden administration on Sunday for its celebratory reaction to what appeared to be a blockbuster jobs report released last Friday, showing 303,000 jobs were created during the month of March and unemployment dipped to 3.8%.
"While President Biden wants to flag waves about how well the economy's doing… people just don't buy it," Vance claimed during a discussion with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures."
The Ohio Republican doubled down on common claims from fellow members of his party that American citizens are struggling to make ends meet while also emphasizing their reported fears that their communities have become increasingly unsafe.
"People recognize that it's getting harder to live your dreams under the Biden economy, and it's unfortunately because a lot of that net job growth has gone to the foreign-born," he continued. "What a disgraceful commentary for the president to be bragging about an economy that is benefiting illegal immigrants more than American citizens."
The White House did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
