House Speaker Mike Johnson stood strong against CNN’s Jake Tapper in a heated exchange. He defended Republican efforts to fix Medicaid by cutting waste and fraud. Tapper tried to trap Johnson but failed when facts proved him wrong.

Johnson explained the truth about Medicaid changes. The bill stops illegal immigrants from taking benefits meant for Americans. Over 1.4 million non-citizens wrongly use Medicaid right now. That’s stealing from hardworking taxpayers.

The Speaker also called out young men cheating the system. Nearly 5 million able-bodied adults refuse to work while taking Medicaid. Johnson said that’s fraud and must end. Work requirements will make them contribute instead of taking handouts.

Republicans are protecting the truly needy. Pregnant mothers, disabled citizens, and elderly Americans will keep their coverage. The changes ensure help goes to those who deserve it most. This is about fairness and responsibility.

Tapper’s attack backfired when Johnson exposed CNN’s lies. The media spreads false claims about Republicans cutting Medicaid. In truth, we’re saving it by removing fraud. Patriots see through this dishonest reporting.

Democrats want open-ended welfare with no rules. They ignore criminals stealing from our system. Republicans believe in help for those who need it, not handouts for those who cheat. That’s the moral choice for America.

This bill puts America first by fixing broken systems. It follows President Trump’s promise to protect Medicare and Social Security. Stopping fraud means more resources for our veterans and seniors. That’s real compassion.

Conservatives are fighting for working families against cheats and illegal takers. Johnson’s win shows truth beats media traps every time. We must stand strong against lies that hurt our country.
