Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday revealed the blunt warning he issued to the team behind the Trump administration’s newly unveiled America.gov website.

President Donald Trump announced the website earlier in the day, saying the AI agent portal was a “restoration of America’s founding promise” and “a reinvention of your government for the 21st century and beyond.” America.gov’s main goal is to improve Americans’ interactions with government services.

Following the announcement, Vance spoke with a crowd in Washington, D.C., alongside Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia. First, Vance congratulated Gebbia, who runs the White House’s National Design Studio, on the new website, then divulged that he had been skeptical when he first learned about the project.

“When Joe and I first started talking about this, the one thing I said is, ‘Don’t let it be a clusterfuck like America.gov,’” Vance said.

The vice president quickly apologized for the expletive, and said he hoped there were “no kids in the back.” Then he corrected himself, noting that he meant to say “Healthcare.gov,” in reference to the troubled rollout of the Affordable Care Act’s website in 2013.

“America.gov has gotta be the good version of that, and I think you guys have done an amazing job, so give it up to Joe and his team,” Vance said.

While the website seems to be functioning normally as of Tuesday, the AI chatbot has given some answers to prompts that Trump and Vance may not be too fond of. For example, in response to the prompt “who won the 2020 election,” the chatbot said: “Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election.”
