MUST WATCH: Speaker Mike Johnson Nukes CNN’s Kaitlan Collins
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson clashed with CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins in a fiery interview that exposed the Democrats’ radical push to extend government benefits to illegal immigrants.
Johnson didn’t hold back, making it clear that Democrats are prioritizing those who cross the border unlawfully over American citizens struggling to make ends meet.
“They have insisted that they want to give free health care to illegal aliens,” Johnson said during the exchange. “That is something the American people reject.”
Collins tried to interrupt and fact-check him in real time, but Johnson doubled down on the issue.
“That’s not true,” Collins retorted, claiming that federal law bars most immigrants without legal status from receiving healthcare benefits.
Johnson pushed back: “Look at their policy proposals. Look at what they’ve demanded. They have insisted that your tax dollars go to people who are not even supposed to be in this country.”
This tense back-and-forth highlighted the core divide in America’s immigration debate: whether taxpayers should foot the bill for those who broke the law to enter.
The New York Post reported that Johnson made similar remarks in another heated exchange with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, reinforcing that this is a consistent Republican position.
Johnson said, “The Democrats are willing to shut the government down over this. They put the interests of illegal aliens above the interests of American citizens.”
His words struck a chord with conservative audiences who have long argued that Democrats are weaponizing immigration for political gain.
Collins, visibly frustrated, tried to paint Johnson’s comments as misinformation.
But Johnson’s stance was clear: Democrats will not secure the border because their political future depends on mass immigration.
“We can’t afford it, and Americans know we can’t afford it,” Johnson said.
The interview became a viral moment, with conservatives applauding Johnson for standing firm in enemy territory.
Social media erupted with praise for his takedown of Collins, who has become a symbol of liberal media bias.
Even as Collins tried to shift the conversation, Johnson held the line.
He reminded viewers that every dollar spent on illegals is a dollar taken from American veterans, seniors, and children.
AP News admitted in a fact-check that Democrats have supported expanding certain state-level healthcare programs to cover undocumented residents.
This supports Johnson’s broader point: Democrats want to normalize giving benefits to people who enter the U.S. illegally.
Johnson’s fight with Collins is just one skirmish in the broader war over America’s border.
The Biden administration has left the border wide open, and now under President Trump’s return, Republicans are fighting to fix the mess.
Johnson’s critics in the liberal press called his remarks “false,” but his allies called it “truth bombs.”
“We are not going to bend to their demands,” Johnson said firmly.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino Warns of Broader Network in Charlie Kirk Assassination
