"President Donald Trump and the Republicans have blamed Democrats for the government shutdown by pushing the talking point that, as Trump put it in an AI-generated fake video, Democrats want to give all these illegal aliens free health care. Although that claim has been ruled false by numerous fact-checkers, Vice President JD Vance joined the White House briefing on Wednesday to press the same talking point and try to backfill an explanation with some patter about emergency care."
"SCOTT JENNINGS: Democrats, and some Republicans, I think, maybe many Republicans, I believe, will ultimately negotiate a continuation of these subsidies. Nobody wants health care premiums to go up. Although, I would note the political consultant Alex Castellanos is not all that affordable, as it turns out. But the other debate about who is going to get taxpayer funded Medicaid in this country, that's what the memes are about."
President Donald Trump and Republicans blamed Democrats for the government shutdown by asserting Democrats want to give undocumented immigrants free health care. Fact-checkers have ruled that claim false. An AI-generated fake video was used to amplify the talking point. Vice President JD Vance reiterated the claim at a White House briefing, citing emergency care as an explanation. On CNN, GOP analyst Scott Jennings argued that taxpayer-funded Medicaid does go to undocumented immigrants and conflated subsidy negotiations with Medicaid coverage. Anchor Abby Phillip interrupted to correct him, stating Medicaid is not provided to illegal immigrants, highlighting confusion over subsidies versus Medicaid eligibility.
