MIKE JOHNSON: We are not cutting Medicaid in this package. TAPPER: 1.4m people in Louisiana are on Medicaid. Is it your contention that if any of them lose benefits, it's bc they shouldn't have been receiving them? J: Yeah. Every district in America has people who are on the program who shouldn't.

I guess we can safely say that a god does not exist because I'm fairly certain Mike Johnson would burst into flames at any moment given how brazenly and easily he lies not to mention how often.

Tapper sucks!! No pushback on Johnson’s lie. Before asking the question, have the text from the bill to read to him and let him hear that he is lying!!! It’s in the bill!!

Removing people who shouldn’t be on the program is cutting Medicaid. Really should have asked for specific data to support that people are getting benefits who shouldn’t have them. How many elderly nursing home patients or infants should really be working?

#ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. #DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. #Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it. #FuckTrump #Resist #Felon47

I’m wondering which of our maga relatives will be whining the loudest. My money’s on the one who had to go to multiple doctors before finding one who would sign her off as disabled.

I didn’t watch but I’m betting Jake concluded this interview, in which Mike Johnson repeatedly lied to his face, by plugging his book about Biden being old.

Once again Mike, you're lying and you know it! There's not that many illegal immigrants on snap and Medicaid. Take a look at your district, and tell me there's not one person benefitting from these programs. You're so worthless, spineless, and a liar. How can any of you sleep at night? Smh

Got no problem with the Pathetic lying Speaker,please where is the #FactCheck from the MAGA @JakeTapper ?? That is why @DonLemon was fired,because @Biden book seller and the leftover journalist at CNN will always listen like #Morons to give them a pass, they are part of the #Traitors to DEMOCRACY !!

CNN, Tapper, Johnson. Where is the reason to listen? To pay any attention at all? This is more of CNN's subtle promotion of the dirty GOP, by helping them normalize their sick policies, yes, even if it is thru grotesque lies. Eventually people will assume it's TRUTH.

And Tapper's credibility (with me anyway) is pretty close to ZERO since he used CNN to shill his book on Biden. Tapper was a NEWSCASTER! It was Tapper's job to report the news.It was not his job to sell a book about a former president who made the decision to withdraw from politics eleven months ago

Evangelical Johnson, raciest, Control FREAK.)made his daughter sign a doc, stating “She won’t have sex until she is married”! How sick is that? Family values, are taught and children are allowed to make their own life decisions! Maga Control Freak Johnson A monster behind a weak weasel face!

As some of your citizens have pointed out, it is pretty hard to swing it without being in genuine need and impossible to mis-spend. You are talking about denying healthcare to your own people. The ones who can't work, or who work long hours on a pitiful wage to serve you coffee or clean your office.

Tapper gives him an out with that softball questions. Millions will suffer and thousands will die, Jake, you sleazebag MAGA sellout fucktard.

"For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right and has not forsaken the commands of its God. ... Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and to bring the homeless poor into your house." Isaiah 58

Can someone point me to where and how an illegal Alien without a social security number gets on Medicaid? Perhaps I’m naive but is this such a thing or are they just running their mouths per usual?

Is it just me that finds the framing disturbing? Young single mothers and pregnant women vs able bodied men being entitled to Medicaid? To me it's just... off-putting and creepy how he keeps repeating that.

Here is another masterclass in irresponsible journalism. I hate to even put the word “journalism” in my mouth when it comes to Tapper/CNN. Read the bill back to Johnson. Ask for a legitimate study behind the Medicare fraud.

The only undocumented ppl getting any Medicaid money are the hospitals getting reimbursed for life saving care that they don’t get paid back for. That number is in the tens of thousands NOT the millions this LIAR is talking about

Even after going to church throughout my formidable years, I’ve never been religious. I always did respect those that are, though. I was even a little bit envious. Not any more. Guys like this make me not trust anyone who claims to be a Christian. Sorry, but that’s how I feel after 10 years of Trump

If Mike Johnson were in Jerusalem when Christ came to the temple, he would have been one that was thrown out for collecting taxes in the temple….such a con-man….

Actually, both could be done. We pay three times as much for healthcare than other countries per insured. If we got rid of for-profit healthcare. The billionaires could still get a piece of the action and we would get universal healthcare. For profit healthcare is the problem.

One just knows this man has some deep dark skeletons in his closet. Always these overly pious, self-righteous f*ckers who end up being exactly what they condemn. The man has been OBSESSED with homosexuality since high school. One sick f*ck. Uses pseudo-christian piety to justify his cruelty.

mike johnson's primary sponsor is a religious extremist/ Houston oil man. forgot his name. ol mike here has been groomed pretty much from the start in LA. he's certainly not intelligent enough to get here on his own. craven enough sure.

Ha! Just have seen it time and time again with these guys - they are what they condemn. His position was the lesser of two evils, so that gym jordan wasn't made speaker. Folks like these should not hold such power. They must have big plans to steal midterm elections. No way they survive otherwise.

I saw this interview. even if they find fraud and eliminate it. they are still cutting Medicare. Fraud or not. removing money being spent still has a ripple effect thru the economy

Everything that is happening in the Trump administration, the deconstruction the social safety net for the poor & gave the money to tax cuts for the rich is the fault of the 77 million voters, the fault of Christian hypocrites, the fault of old white nationalists voted for this nightmare .

So this is how they’re trying to change the narrative- they’re not cutting Medicaid, they’re just retroactively making people ineligible for it..

"We're not cutting Medicaid, we're just ensuring that no poor people can get Medicaid. They're poor so they don't matter. Simple, really. We can just pass legislation that the poor are not human beings. Problem solved!"

Johnson is fibbing again. Speaker Mike Johnson played “a key role” in pushing the Stop The Steal Scam on behalf of Trump. He pushed for a Trump win to avoid a potential conviction for 1/6. Garland had a window of time to charge Trump prior to his announcement to run. nbcnews.to/3NeafP9

nbcnews.toMike Johnson played a key role in efforts to overturn 2020 electionJohnson, who was elected House speaker Wednesday, led an amicus brief in support of a Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 victory in four battleground states.

I'd love to see a law passed that Congress is restricted to the same health plan that the most vulnerable American get--would fix a bunch of 💩 pronto.

Every member of Congress (and why not the Senate too?)having to apply/recert for and utilize straight Medicaid and nothing else for a year. Now that might possibly open their eyes. They would definitely be complaining non-stop that they're being abused.

In Mike Johnson’s mind: ‘We will get the defrauders off the rolls, no matter how many innocent people it kills.’ To Johnson and most other Republicans, we are unworthy of dignity and life, deserving of the same fate as Ukraine or Gaza. We’re just collateral damage.

Well Mike if they’re committing fraud and you know who they are then arrest them. I know 147 republican members of Congress who in 2021 tried to overthrow the presidential election why not arrest them and take away their benefits? Oh yeah I forgot you were one of them.
