‘Flat-Out Lie!’ Warren Cuts Off CBS Anchor Pushing Her on Trump Shutdown ‘Talking Point’

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) cut off CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil when he suggested a Trump talking point wasn’t “strictly true,” interrupting to call it a “flat-out lie!”

President Donald Trump and the Republicans have blamed Democrats for the government shutdown by pushing the talking point that, as Trump put it in an AI-generated fake video, Democrats want to “give all these illegal aliens free health care.”

Although that claim has been ruled false by numerous fact-checkers, Vice President JD Vance joined the White House briefing on Wednesday to press the same talking point and try to backfill an explanation.
