Dan Abrams Calls Out MSNBC for Flimsy Fact Check of Vance: If You're Gonna Fact-Check, You'd Better Get it Right!'

"Because the way that the fact-checks have been happening from the media would make you think that there is no argument that Republicans can make at all about people in the country illegally getting any additional healthcare as a result of what the Democrats are suggesting, and that's not true, but it's also not true what JD Vance is saying."

"Abrams then played a clip of MSNBC anchor Chris Jansing interrupting Vance's remarks with a fact-check, claiming Vance's statements about illegal immigrants being able to access healthcare were not true. You see what she did there, right? She's telling us correctly, right, that people here illegally can't get any of these programs, but then she says, 'For the most part, undocumented immigrants are barred from using federally-funded healthcare programs,' reacted Abrams."

Dan Abrams criticized MSNBC for conducting a flawed fact-check of Vice President JD Vance regarding whether undocumented immigrants could access federally funded healthcare. Abrams argued media fact-checks have presented the issue as all-or-nothing, erasing legitimate Republican arguments while noting Vance's statements also contained overstatements. Abrams played an MSNBC clip of anchor Chris Jansing interrupting Vance, noting Jansing correctly said undocumented immigrants are generally barred from federal healthcare but framed it as absolute. Abrams said that, in this instance, Vance's claim was not that inaccurate and that imprecise media fact-checking undermines credibility.
