Speaker of the House Mike Johnson clashed with CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins in a fiery interview that exposed the Democrats’ radical push to extend government benefits to illegal immigrants.
Johnson didn’t hold back, making it clear that Democrats are prioritizing those who cross the border unlawfully over American citizens struggling to make ends meet.
“They have insisted that they want to give free health care to illegal aliens,” Johnson said during the exchange. “That is something the American people reject.”
Collins tried to interrupt and fact-check him in real time, but Johnson doubled down on the issue.
“That’s not true,” Collins retorted, claiming that federal law bars most immigrants without legal status from receiving healthcare benefits.
Johnson pushed back: “Look at their policy proposals. Look at what they’ve demanded. They have insisted that your tax dollars go to people who are not even supposed to be in this country.”
This tense back-and-forth highlighted the core divide in America’s immigration debate: whether taxpayers should foot the bill for those who broke the law to enter.
The New York Post reported that Johnson made similar remarks in another heated exchange with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, reinforcing that this is a consistent Republican position.
Johnson said, “The Democrats are willing to shut the government down over this. They put the interests of illegal aliens above the interests of American citizens.”
His words struck a chord with conservative audiences who have long argued that Democrats are weaponizing immigration for political gain.
Collins, visibly frustrated, tried to paint Johnson’s comments as misinformation.
But Johnson’s stance was clear: Democrats will not secure the border because their political future depends on mass immigration.
“We can’t afford it, and Americans know we can’t afford it,” Johnson said.
The interview became a viral moment, with conservatives applauding Johnson for standing firm in enemy territory.
Social media erupted with praise for his takedown of Collins, who has become a symbol of liberal media bias.
Even as Collins tried to shift the conversation, Johnson held the line.
He reminded viewers that every dollar spent on illegals is a dollar taken from American veterans, seniors, and children.
AP News admitted in a fact-check that Democrats have supported expanding certain state-level healthcare programs to cover undocumented residents.
This supports Johnson’s broader point: Democrats want to normalize giving benefits to people who enter the U.S. illegally.
Johnson’s fight with Collins is just one skirmish in the broader war over America’s border.
The Biden administration has left the border wide open, and now under President Trump’s return, Republicans are fighting to fix the mess.
Johnson’s critics in the liberal press called his remarks “false,” but his allies called it “truth bombs.”
“We are not going to bend to their demands,” Johnson said firmly.
BREAKING: Anna Paulina Luna Claims The Biden DOJ DESTROYED…
Representative Anna Paulina Luna has leveled explosive information against the Biden Department of Justice, claiming that critical materials related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation have been deliberately destroyed.
This assertion, if proven true, would represent one of the most damning instances of governmental obstruction and cover-up in recent history.
Luna, who chairs a congressional task force focused on federal transparency, has stated unequivocally that she possesses evidence implicating high-ranking officials in the DOJ.
According to her, these officials not only failed to disclose materials related to Epstein but actively destroyed them to conceal the extent of powerful individuals’ involvement in Epstein’s criminal network.
She introduced legislation titled the SHRED Act, aimed at imposing severe penalties on government agents who destroy or conceal federal records. The proposed bill calls for 20 years to life in prison for anyone caught eliminating evidence in cases of national significance.
“Even if they are conducting a criminal investigation, you should probably pick up the phone and call us,” Luna told Fox News. “We have been more than patient.”
These developments come amid growing conservative suspicion that the Biden administration has no interest in unmasking Epstein’s full network. The notion that key records could be gone forever only intensifies fears that justice is being buried under a bureaucratic rug.
Luna’s office has reportedly sent multiple requests to the Department of Justice demanding clarity on the handling of Epstein-related materials. So far, those inquiries have been met with either vague responses or complete silence.
The congresswoman did not mince words in her public statements, suggesting that the DOJ’s behavior constitutes a deliberate act of obstruction. If true, such actions could violate federal law and trigger an entirely new legal battle.
“The Biden DOJ has obstructed Congress, ignored subpoenas, and now appears to have destroyed critical evidence,” Luna said. “This is corruption at the highest level.”
Critics argue that this is yet another example of double standards in Washington. “Had this been a Republican-led DOJ accused of destroying documents in a child sex trafficking case, the media would be apoplectic,” one conservative commentator noted.
For years, the Epstein case has symbolized the deep rot within America’s elite circles. The financier’s suspicious death in prison and the subsequent lack of high-profile indictments have fueled accusations of a widespread cover-up.
Now, Luna’s allegations breathe new life into those concerns. If records were indeed destroyed, the implications are profound. It would mean that the DOJ, under Biden, actively shielded criminals from justice.
What’s more troubling is that these destroyed materials could have named prominent individuals—politicians, celebrities, and global financiers—who participated in or enabled Epstein’s crimes.
In this context, Luna’s SHRED Act isn’t just legislative symbolism. It is a clarion call for accountability in an era marked by elite impunity. Her bill seeks to ensure that future officials think twice before erasing truth from the historical record.
Despite Luna’s repeated calls for transparency, there has been no formal response from Attorney General Merrick Garland. The silence speaks volumes to many who believe the DOJ is stonewalling on purpose.
Meanwhile, conservative lawmakers have rallied behind Luna. A growing number of Republicans in the House and Senate are voicing support for investigations into the DOJ’s handling of Epstein evidence.
Some have even floated the idea of appointing a special counsel to probe the matter independently. Given the stakes, such a move may be the only path forward to restore public confidence.
This latest scandal further erodes the credibility of an already battered Department of Justice. From the Hunter Biden laptop fiasco to the political targeting of conservatives, the agency has been repeatedly accused of partisanship.
Now, with Epstein documents allegedly destroyed, the DOJ’s credibility is in tatters. Public trust, once broken, is hard to rebuild.
The American people deserve the truth. And if Luna’s allegations are accurate, they deserve justice, no matter how high the guilty parties sit.
“
But the tension is all because of him.”
The courtroom was silent, with an air so thick it felt like you could cut it with a knife. The storm outside rumbled in ominous agreement. The judge observed Leonard Griffin closely, her eyes narrowing as she assessed the situation unfolding before her.
“You see,” Isla continued, her voice gaining strength with every word, “Moose knows when I don’t feel safe. He knows when someone … someone like him is near.” Her small hand stayed on Moose’s back, slowly stroking his fur, grounding both herself and her canine companion.
It was as if the entire room took a collective breath, waiting for the next move. Leonard Griffin’s confident facade showed signs of cracking. His eyes darted around the room, searching for support that was no longer there. The revelation had sapped his charm, his ease; it was clear that whatever game he was playing was nearing its conclusion.
Judge Dawson leaned forward, her expression both kind and firm. “Thank you, Isla, for sharing that with us. It’s important for the court to know how you feel.”
Isla nodded, a small victory smile playing on her lips. With Moose at her side, she seemed to draw strength from the knowledge that her truth had been heard.
Leonard’s lawyer stood once more, attempting to regain control. “Your Honor, this is a dog’s reaction we’re talking about. It’s hardly evidence.”
“Mr. Reed,” Judge Dawson interrupted sharply, “the court was not aware previously of these specific training details. Given the circumstances, I find it relevant.”
The lawyer opened his mouth to protest further, but a single look from Judge Dawson silenced him. The courtroom bore witness to a man who had been stripped of his defenses, left vulnerable by a child and her faithful companion.
The judge turned back to Isla, her gaze softening. “Is there anything else you’d like us to know, Isla? We’re here to ensure you’re safe and happy.”
Isla hesitated, looking at her foster parents, who smiled back reassuringly. “I want to stay with Jim and Megan. They make me feel safe. They love Moose, and they love me.”
At that moment, the storm outside seemed to quieten, as if nature itself was acknowledging the justice being sought within those walls. The judge nodded thoughtfully, making notes before addressing the room once more.
“Given the testimony today, and the evidence presented, we’ll recess to consider Isla’s best interests in this matter.”
As the courtroom began to empty, Isla remained seated, her hand never leaving Moose. Her foster parents joined her, whispering words of comfort. Leonard Griffin was led out, his shoulders hunched, a stark contrast to the assured man who had entered earlier.
Outside, the rain began to lighten, the storm passing. In courtroom 3B, a new chapter was beginning for Isla—one where her voice was heard, where her fears were validated, and where she had the support to build a future brimming with the promise of safety and love.
And through it all, Moose would be right there, her loyal guardian, ever vigilant, ever faithful.
