Speaker Johnson on CR: Schumer Wants to Add ‘$500 Million to Prop Up Left-Leaning Media Organizations,’ We’re Not Doing That

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: "We’re trying to operate in good faith here. Now, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats issued a counteroffer, and the counteroffer is filled with poison pills and partisan demands that will break the system down, and Chuck Schumer knows that. He’s trying to force, for example, and everybody at home needs to understand what Chuck Schumer is trying to do, is force $1.4 trillion in additional spending on the American people, a spending hike on a very short-term continued resolution to keep the government out. He also wants to make sure, he wants to reinstate health care to be provided free by American taxpayers for illegal aliens. We’re not going to do that either. He also wants to add $500 million to prop up left-leaning media organizations. We’re not doing that either.”
