Faux Information CNN reduce off Home Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday as he attacked the Democrats for shutting down the federal government over healthcare funding for unlawful aliens.

Earlier this week, Vice President JD Vance made it clear that Democrats are refusing to maintain the federal government open as a result of they’re prioritizing unlawful aliens.

“Democrats need a $1.5 trillion spending package deal that funded free well being look after illegals. We instructed them that was absurd, and now they’re prepared to close down the federal government over it. It’s unacceptable,” Vance mentioned earlier this week after a gathering with prime Democrats Schumer and Jeffries.

On October 1 at 12:01 am, the federal government partially shut down as a result of two measures failed within the Senate. The measures to reopen the federal government failed once more on Wednesday morning.

CNN reduce Speaker Johnson off as he mentioned the Democrats blocked the GOP-backed payments to present unlawful aliens free healthcare.

The Home handed a clear, short-term stopgap funding invoice to maintain the federal government open. Schumer rejected it.

Johnson laid it out clearly:

• Democrats demanded restoring healthcare entry for unlawful aliens.
• They wished $500 million funneled again to leftist PBS propaganda.
• They tried to slash funding for rural hospitals that serve working-class People.
• They demanded $1.5 trillion in NEW spending tied to only a seven-week funding measure.

As a substitute of working with Republicans to responsibly prolong funding till November, Schumer selected a shutdown.

CNN absurdly claimed that the Democrats don’t need to give unlawful aliens healthcare.

“CNN shouldn’t be a NEWS group. They reduce off the Republican press convention to CENSOR the reality from the American individuals and LIE about indeniable FACTS,” Mike Johnson mentioned.

“On web page 57 of the Democrat’s OWN invoice – they insist we restore $200 BILLION in well being care subsidies for unlawful aliens,” he added. “CNN should right this.”
