Jasmine Crockett: 111,000 Children from MTG’s District Is at ‘Risk’ to Lose Medicaid

‘Yet we’re having a conversation, or we’re sitting out and giving red meat to Fox News instead of talking about the real issues’

EXCERPT:

CROCKETT: "Like, we had a hearing today and it was all about trans people fencing. They brought in someone, they actually subpoenaed a man and was like, 'Hey, we know we give you zero federal dollars, but we want to talk about this.' And I’m like, 'Okay, so this is efficient of us to do this, right?' But they did not want to have a conversation around the cuts, cuts that you just were having a conversation about, right? One of the things that I decided to do, they may not have wanted to talk about it, but I was going to highlight it, and what I did is I went through each and every one of the members on the DOGE Subcommittee, I went through their districts and talked about how many children specifically were at risk for losing their Medicaid. And guess whose district was at the top of the list? The chairwoman, with 111,000 children that stand the risk of losing their Medicaid. Yet we’re having a conversation, or we’re sitting out and giving red meat to Fox News instead of talking about the real issues."
