House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is calling out media outlets for cutting off his remarks yesterday during a Q&A about Democratic demands to restore $200 billion in health care subsidies for illegal aliens.
Both CNN and MSNBC broke away from Johnson’s remarks during a press conference yesterday when the Speaker began citing the Democrat’s continuing resolution (CR) bill that contains $1.5 trillion in spending demands, including restoring $200 billion in taxpayer-funded health care benefits going to illegals.
Johnson had encouraged voters to check out Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s counter-proposal to the GOP’s CR, specifically directing viewers to got to page 57, section 2141, to see for themselves where Democrats advocate for repealing safeguards against waste, fraud, and abuse in health care from this year’s Working Families Tax Cut bill.
That’s when some media outlets cut away from the press conference, citing Democrat talking points and claiming that they were fact-checking the speaker.
