Jennings challenged the assertions of Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh and former lawmaker Bakari Sellers, leading them to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >openly support providing free healthcare<\/a> to illegal aliens, suggesting this position is held by Democrats. Abughazaleh insisted that &#8220;everyone deserves healthcare,&#8221; repeatedly affirming her belief that it should extend to all, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/insurance-company-is-registering-illegal-invaders-for-free-health-care-obamacare-at-the-border\/\" title=\"Insurance company enrolls ... in free .... Obamacare extends to the border\">including undocumented individuals<\/a>.Jennings pressed for clarity, asking whether she supports illegal aliens receiving Medicaid, to which she affirmed her stance.<\/p>\n<p>Sellers, attempting to reframe the conversation, referred to undocumented individuals as &#8220;undocumented citizens&#8221; and also confirmed support for their inclusion in Medicaid. Throughout the dialog,Jennings maintained a composed demeanor despite the emotional arguments presented by the other panelists. The exchange highlighted a notable divide in opinions on immigration and healthcare,with Jennings asserting that the positions taken by his guests lacked factual support and relied heavily on emotional appeals,illuminating the complexities surrounding healthcare funding for undocumented populations in the U.S.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>CNN pundit Scott Jennings got a panel full of progressives to admit that they want free healthcare for illegal aliens, and it wasn&rsquo;t particularly hard to do.<\/p>\n<p>Jennings d the clip of the exchange Friday on X, noting to his followers that &ldquo;the mask came off live on the air last night&rdquo;

He shared the clip of this exchange on X, pointing out that &#8220;the mask came off live on the air last night&#8221; regarding Democrats&#8217; priorities. In the video, Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh and former state lawmaker Bakari Sellers passionately defended their unusual position, while Jennings appeared to relish watching their arguments falter in real time. Abughazaleh asserted that &#8220;everyone deserves healthcare,&#8221; prompting Jennings to ask if that included undocumented individuals. She reiterated her stance, emphasizing that all people worldwide should have access to healthcare. However, this raises questions about whether American taxpayers should be responsible for funding healthcare for millions of undocumented immigrants. The panel seemed perplexed by anyone considering such a viewpoint controversial. Sellers then stated he didn&#8217;t want to &#8220;kick 11 million people off Medicaid,&#8221; leading Jennings to clarify his question about whether he supported including illegal aliens in the program; Sellers confirmed his support after correcting Jennings with the term &#8220;undocumented citizens.&#8221; The discussion highlighted how Democrats appear committed to providing free healthcare for illegal immigrants at taxpayer expense-a point Jennings underscored with a knowing smile as he pressed Sellers on America&#8217;s immigration history, which led Sellers into an emotional response rather than addressing the issue directly. This exchange illustrated how leftist arguments often rely more on emotional appeal than factual reasoning, as many Americans recognize the negative impacts of unchecked illegal immigration firsthand<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2444192,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Picture-2025-06-07T032647.564.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[50623,33159,38862],"class_list":["post-2444191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-cnn-2","tag-health-care","tag-scott-jennings"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Picture-2025-06-07T032647.564.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2444191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2444191"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2444191\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2444195,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2444191\/revisions\/2444195"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2444192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2444191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2444191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2444191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
