CNN's Jake Tapper confronted House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., on Wednesday about Medicaid funding for "noncitizens," as the Democratic lawmaker argued his party was trying to save healthcare.
Tapper asked Jeffries about the extension of Obamacare subsidies after the government shut down on Wednesday when Democrats and Republicans in the Senate failed to reach a spending agreement before the end of fiscal year 2025 on Sept. 30.
The CNN host said Republicans "characterize it as you want to give health insurance to undocumented immigrants. I understand that's not really an accurate depiction." Jeffries responded, "It's a lie."
"It's a lie, but what you support does bring back funding for emergency Medicaid to hospitals, some of which does pay for undocumented immigrants and people who don't have health insurance. And also, there is this provision, and it's not about undocumented immigrants. It's about people with asylum seekers and people with temporary protected status, et cetera, et cetera, but about their ability to get Medicaid. So they're noncitizens. They're not undocumented. They're not illegal. Why even include that in a bill, knowing that they're going to seize right upon that and use that to message? I understand that when you retake the House, you can get whatever you want passed, but at this point?" Tapper asked.
Jeffries insisted Democrats were fighting against the "largest" cut to Medicaid ever, pointing to the Republican-backed "big, beautiful bill."
"You're talking about the subsidies again, but I'm talking about the noncitizens," Tapper pushed back.
The House Minority leader argued again that Democrats were trying to save healthcare for 14 million Americans.
"Do you not think that the provisions that provide healthcare for noncitizens muddies that message?" Tapper pressed.

"It's a total, absolute, effing lie," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Wednesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
Is there an over/under on how long the RATS will go on defending illegals? Something's gonna break.

We are watchingthe death throes of the political careers pf CHuck the Schmuck Shumer, and Hakeem Jeffries.
Te Dem party is listing way to the Left, and America will turf them in the mid terms . giving the MAGA Republicans a 60 seat majority in the Senate and a 15 seat majority in the HOuse.
That’s what happens when all you got is , “Orange Man Bad!” for a policy.
AOC will primary Schmuck and win,,,,,as New Jork becomes Havana with Mortimer Mamdami.
New York is about to witness a vast exodus of citizens to Florida and Texas.Then we will build a wall around it.
When Jake Tapper is asking a Dem tough questions and not letting them off the hook, they are in trouble.
UpChuck Shumer needs to retire and make way for the new loonies who hace taken over his party.
Blacks hate Mexicans and vice versa.
Jews and Muslims. Muslims and gays.
All of the core democrat groups hate each other. Only thing they unite in more is hating America.
Dems are a minority party propped up by taxpayer funded (USAID) fake media fooling America into thinking they had anything other than fake votes supporting them. Democrats party is an agitprop Deep State funded minority party Trump has now exposed.
Clean up the voter roles state by state.
Chucky backed himself into a corner. I recommend the GOP not negotiate on this. Chucky, because Juan Jeffries isn’t smart enough, will have to counter his own offer. Again the answer needs to be NO.
Chucky can only lose from here on in. He should accept that his political career is over and go join DeBlasio and Bettlejuice on the Harvard faculty.
EC
The Dems are on their way out, and they want to take America down the drain with them.
The question is are we now in CW II slow burn?
I agree.
Tapper is no longer a rapper.....he is actually being a journalist, something I never thought I would see.
I’m surprised that Chuck You Schumer didn’t pick a better hill to die on.
It’s a modified limited hangout.
CNN isn’t in trouble until Deep State pulls the plug on its funding.
Illegals use ERs for routine care. That clogs up ERs making care less efficient and reduces quality of care for US citizens. The Feds do cover some of the losses incurred by hospitals. Reducing the number of illegals can only help.
I have a feeling that there’d be money left over to help cover expenses for US citizens that need healthcare.
You still haven’t seen it.
I realize that the idea of an unbiased media biased media is long dead and rotted, but lol “ I understand that when you retake the House, you can get whatever you want passed, but at this point?” Tapper asked” made me spit my coffee out😂
Hakeem Skyhook and Nasty Polizei are lying about this DemonRAT Party of Death, Destruction and Assassinations shutdown. They want free healthcare for every damn illegal alien in America. They are lying through their teeth and the Dumb Bunny Super Bowels fans are buying it. This government shut down is all about the DemonRAT Party of Death giving freeloading criminal foreigners everything they want, including free healthcare to their entire “family”. All the Evil DemonRATS want back is their votes and their loyalty to the S*** Show Party.
It’s not CNN who is in trouble, it is the democrats. When the main stream media is actually asking “real” questions to the democrats and not letting them off the hook, the democrats are cooked.
They’re retrenching.
I disagree. Tapper wants (and is advising in that media dog whistle way) Jeffries to drop the Medicaid provisions to take away the issue for Republicans. He’s winking to Jeffries that they can always put that back in after the dems win.
"That's the biggest load of rubbish, I've ever heard in my life." - The Story of Bo Diddley.
Never trust anyone named Hakeem who has a head like a football.
Exactly.
| RE: political careers are over for CHuck the Schmuck Shumer, and Hakeem Jeffries... Yes, I agree. The Leftist Democrats are a cult. And cult leaders are constantly scanning for people who question the wisdom of the cult. So as a Leftist, you're afraid to talk to your co-workers and friends about saying the "wrong things" because you're deathly afraid to be ostracized. Right about now the Dems are in Jonestown and the cult leaders are passing around the purple koolaid kits. But who will drink the koolaid? When a Fake News cult leader like Jake Tapper asks pointed questions of Jimmy "Hakeem" Jones, lots of people begin to see the wisdom of letting Hakeem and Schumer sacrifice their careers or "take one for the team." Seeing radicals AOC and Warren Grey Beaver take control of the Democrat cult is exactly what we need to move millions of voters to the MAGA camp. |
Nixon was taken out by a Deep State operation (Deep Through was actually an insider leaker) and they tried to do the ‘quiet revolution’ with Trump - impeaching him twice.
That didn’t work so they tried to JFK him.
No telling what’s next on the playbook list.
