Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson recently got into a debate with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News over whether or not Democrats are supporting healthcare for illegal aliens. Johnson won the argument with facts.
Can we all stop pretending that George Stephanopoulos is some sort of journalist? He is a former bag man for President Bill Clinton.
He got into TV journalism for obvious reasons, because he wants to control the narrative.
This debate with Johnson is one of those times when Stephanopoulos is so obviously a Democrat activist, first and foremeost.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Here are the facts. The proposal does not provide healthcare for illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants cannot buy healthcare under the Affordable Care Act and cannot receive healthcare subsidies.
Illegal immigrants are ineligible for Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Program. The Democratic bill does not make them eligible.
MIKE JOHNSON: It does actually, because what it does is unwind the changes that the Republicans put into the Big Beautiful Bill, the signature legislation we passed July 4th.
That’s been very successful, ensuring medication to people who are actually eligible to receive it.
What we’ve done in the bill—and it was just verified three weeks ago by the Congressional Budget Office, nonpartisan arbiters—they said the provisions helped to reduce premiums.
Why? Because we got ineligible recipients off of Medicaid, illegal aliens enabled by young men who were riding the wagon, who are not eligible to be there.
Medicaid is intended for specific populations of U.S. citizens: young pregnant women down on their luck, the disabled and elderly.
Those resources are being drained from those folks, so we fixed that and reduced fraud and abuse of the program. The counterproposal on the CR would reverse that. It’s a simple fact.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: CBO did not say illegal immigrants. You’ve made your point there.

Democrats lie, and then media people like George Stephanopoulos step in to back up their lies and attack Republicans. Rinse and repeat. That is what 99 percent of our media does every single day and everyone sees it now.
