CNN anchors discuss breaking news regarding Rep. Jeffries and government shutdown updates at Capitol Hill, with the U.S. Capitol building in the background.

CNN’s Jake Tapper took House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to task during a live broadcast, probing into the controversial provisions of the Democrats’ spending bill that allegedly allocate funds for emergency Medicaid coverage for noncitizens. This opens up a can of worms regarding the healthcare policies that some critics label a loophole for providing healthcare to undocumented immigrants—an issue that Democrats might prefer to sidestep.

This intense exchange unfolded amidst an ongoing government shutdown, during which Democrats have obstructed a straightforward continuing resolution until Republicans acquiesce to their demands for escalated spending, including renewing Obamacare subsidies that are set to expire at the end of 2025.

However, the usual Democratic rhetoric about safeguarding American citizens didn’t cut it for Tapper, who was adamant about getting to the meat of the matter.

In a striking moment, Tapper read aloud from Subtitle E of the spending bill, a section that Republicans have criticized as a deceptive attempt to provide healthcare support to undocumented individuals.

Jake Tapper:
Donald Trump has also weighed in on this. Let’s address something that the Republicans have been vocal about. I understand the Democrats want to focus on extending the Obamacare subsidies that are due to expire at the end of 2025. However, let’s talk about Subtitle E.

This section pertains to the repeal of certain healthcare provisions and seems to suggest that health insurance would be extended to undocumented immigrants. Although I recognize that’s a bit of an oversimplification, it does imply—

Hakeem Jeffries:
That’s simply not true.

Jake Tapper:
Not true, you say? Yet, what you support does restore funding for emergency Medicaid that will benefit hospitals and covers undocumented immigrants and people lacking health insurance.

Furthermore, this provision does not solely pertain to undocumented individuals; it relates to asylum seekers and those granted temporary protected status—

These are non-citizens. They aren’t simply undocumented; they are legally recognized by the state. Why include that in legislation when adversaries will undoubtedly seize it as an argument?

TAPPER: This provision suggests that you want to provide healthcare to illegal aliens…

JEFFRIES: That’s false!

TAPPER: False—BUT, what your bill backs DOES restore…

In a follow-up, Tapper directed his scrutiny at Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, questioning the apparent contradictions present in Jeffries’ explanations:

Jake Tapper:
So, is that partisan spending bill the grand, sweeping proposal or the continuing resolution? This continuing resolution merely maintains current funding levels.

Chuck Schumer:
The continuing resolution that has been presented is, in fact, partisan. House Democrats opposed it back in March on the grounds that it negatively impacts veterans, seniors, childcare, and housing affordability, as well as healthcare. That’s why we voted against it.

Jake Tapper:
So, if that’s the case, you’re essentially admitting that Chuck Schumer voted in favor of a Republican partisan bill when he endorsed that back in March—nine other Democrats too.

WATCH:

CNN: Republicans’ bill maintains the government at the status quo.

JEFFRIES: Um, no, actually, it’s partisan. We voted against it in March.

CNN: This means you’re indicating that Chuck Schumer approved a Republican partisan bill by voting in favor of it in March? pic.twitter.com/LpTxcaXapi

Here it is, folks. Assertions abound that Democrats are misrepresenting the facts. https://t.co/TXm7lgC33w pic.twitter.com/OB7TM1jU35
