House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) made multiple false statements on President Donald Trump’s economy and the Republicans’ proposed changes to Medicaid and Obamacare spending, prompting a fact-check from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).
Speaking on the Mornings with Zerlina radio show last Thursday, Jeffries repeated the already-debunked lie that “about 13.7 million people will be flown off their health care” due to the reconciliation bill the House passed last month, which is now under the consideration of the Senate.
Jeffries claimed:
Well, it’s a reckless extreme budget that Republicans are trying to jam down the throats of the American people, lifting up a whole host of right wing ideas that aren’t designed to make life better for the American people, but actually will make things worse for the American people right at the top,” the left-wing congressman said. “This is the largest cut to health care in American history. About 13.7 million people will be flown off their health care, both because of the attack on Medicaid, as well as the attack on the Affordable Care Act that is in this bill at the same time.
Jeffries went on to allege that “people are going to die” if the budget passes the Senate. As if that wasn’t enough for these extremists.”

Debunking is one thing, but as we know, first lie out of the gate is hard to reign in.
You can tell he’s lying because his lips are moving
Skyhook needs his butt deported. The boy isn’t an American.
Democrats Lie
Water, Wet
I know Jeffries is a dumbass-but if “About 13.7 million people will be flown off their health care” is part of a direct quote-used twice-will these 13.7 people be loaded into planes and flown to a remote place where there are no health care providers? Did the author of the article not see how ridiculous that sounds? Reading an article-and some of the comments-is becoming as difficult as deciphering a Kamala word salad. People need to turn off the autocorrect and autocomplete-they are NOT correct...
I’ve always thought he is just a typical blue state racial token...
He can lie like that on the house floor without consequences.
Lying like this on the air gets him sued for libel.
Let the lawsuits begin in earnest.
Oops-13.7 million people-copy and paste does not always work, either...
From the current CBO report:
“Estimated Effects
CBO estimates that household resources would decrease by an amount equal to about 2 percent of income in the lowest decile (tenth) of the income distribution in 2027 and 4 percent in 2033, mainly as a result of losses of in-kind transfers, such as Medicaid and SNAP (see the figure).3
By contrast, resources would increase by an amount equal to 4 percent for households in the highest decile in 2027 and 2 percent in 2033, mainly because of reductions in they taxes they owe. The distributional effects vary throughout the 10-year projection period as different components of the legislation are phased in and out.”
Republicans currently control all of Congress and the CBO, so here’s the complete CBO report for you.

THE CURRENT REPLACEMENT FOR JESSE JACKSON
Bigger lie detectors are needed by the dems, current ones cannot handle Van Hollen, AOC, Raskin, Jefferies, Crockett and Omar.

Instead, the pathetic Gutless Old Party does nothing.
