Kimmel ‘Comes Clean’: We Made a Baby with a Congenital Heart Defect to Fight GOP Health Bill

‘I still can’t believe we pulled it off’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KIMMEL: "Thank you man with a pony keg of gel in his hair. It would be easy to dismiss this as right-wing hysteria. I need to confess, come clean. Here's what happened. My wife and I were worried about health care. We didn't like what the Republicans were doing, so we decided to have a baby with congenital heart defects. Once we had that going for us, I went on TV, I spoke out, and we may have stopped Cassidy-Graham, I still can't believe we pulled it off, but we did. It's amazing, isn't it? It is really unbelievable. You know, since I started speaking about this, I've been fact-checked by -- against Bill Cassidy by six different organizations, every one of them came down on my side. Every major health organization in the United States is on my side. Every major charity that has to do with health and Medicare is on my side, because the facts were on my side. It has nothing to do with me, it's just a matter of what is true and what isn't true."
