‘Bill & Ted’ star Alex Winter says he would not have been okay if he hadn’t escaped Hollywood spotlight

**”Bill & Ted” Star Alex Winter Opens Up About Escaping the Pitfalls of Show Business**

*NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!*

Alex Winter, known for his iconic role in the “Bill & Ted” franchise, has revealed how escaping the harsh realities of show business was crucial for his well-being. Currently starring on Broadway alongside his “Bill & Ted” co-star Keanu Reeves in *Waiting for Gadot*, Winter opened up in an interview with *The Guardian* about the challenges of early success and how surviving years of sexual abuse and trauma compelled him to leave Hollywood and start anew.

For much of his teenage years, Winter, who made his Broadway debut at just 12 years old, worked tirelessly both onstage and behind the scenes. In 1987, he landed a breakthrough role as Marko in the vampire cult classic *The Lost Boys*. Two years later, he gained widespread recognition playing Bill S. Preston in the beloved comedy *Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.*

Winter moved to Los Angeles just shy of graduating from NYU’s film school and began focusing on work behind the camera, directing music videos and commercials, and co-writing various television hits. However, by the age of 26, he felt “fried” and decided he needed an escape.

“I just wanted to get the hell out of the public eye, and just be on the tube, going to my office in Soho and start a family,” Winter shared. He shifted his focus to directing and filming documentaries, expressing satisfaction with this new direction. “My career is where I want it, which is that I have the ability to do whatever interests me the most,” he added. “But I would not have been OK had I not split.”

### Years of Trauma Behind the Scenes

In 2018, Winter courageously disclosed that he was sexually abused by an unnamed adult who has since passed away. At the time of the abuse, Winter was performing alongside Yul Brynner in *The King and I*, while grappling with intense and prolonged trauma.

“There was ‘The King and I’ eight shows a week, happy face feeling genuinely happy in that role. Great relationship with my mom and dad; great relationship with the co-workers around me; doing interviews, signing autographs, living this amazing … and then this nightmarish other existence,” he told *The Guardian* in 2020.

Winter also revealed the long-lasting effects of his experience, including extreme post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). “It will wreak havoc on you. It’s a way in which you relate to the world around you and to yourself, and it’s very nuanced, but you can become very fractured,” he explained. “You slowly compartmentalize. You keep this thing over here, you keep that thing over there, and you don’t have any natural equilibrium. That fracturing just gets worse and worse and worse.”

He described how by his mid-20s, he was barely holding himself together. “By your mid-20s, it’s like you’re holding those different selves together with duct tape. That’s when you see kids overdosing or blowing their heads off. In my case, I was just like, I need to stop doing this thing where these eyes are on me all the time and I don’t feel safe or comfortable … I just want to go ride the subway and help raise a family and do my writing and directing.”

Winter has also warned that children placed in high-pressure Hollywood environments will inevitably face psychological repercussions.

Changpeng Zhao Pardon: ‘I Met Eric Trump Once, That’s It,’ Says CZ

**Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao Responds to Trump Pardon Controversy**

Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has addressed the recent controversy surrounding his pardon by former President Donald Trump. In an exclusive interview with Fox News, CZ revealed that the pardon came as a surprise and stressed that there was no negotiation, deal, or business connection with Trump or his family.

CZ explained that he had met Eric Trump only once at a Bitcoin conference in Abu Dhabi. However, the meeting was brief and unrelated to Binance or any discussions about the pardon.

### Acknowledging Past Legal Issues

During the interview, CZ openly acknowledged his past legal troubles. In 2023, he pleaded guilty to failing to ensure proper compliance measures at Binance, resulting in a four-month prison sentence. He emphasized that taking responsibility for these issues was crucial to moving forward.

With the case now behind him, CZ expressed his desire to focus on helping the United States build a stronger cryptocurrency industry. He noted that regulations are becoming clearer and believes cryptocurrency has evolved from a niche topic to a central part of global finance.

### Trump: “I Don’t Know Who He Is”

When asked about the decision to grant the pardon, Donald Trump stated that he barely knows who Changpeng Zhao is. He insisted the pardon was not based on any personal relationship.

Trump highlighted his goal for the United States to lead in crypto innovation, pointing out that other nations like China and Japan are advancing rapidly in this sector. He also claimed that the previous administration treated CZ unfairly and stressed the importance of supporting crypto growth to maintain U.S. competitiveness.

Although Trump admitted that his sons are more involved in cryptocurrency than he is, he acknowledged the industry’s significance. He warned that if the U.S. fails to encourage crypto development, the industry will simply move overseas.

### Congressional Inquiry into the Pardon

The pardon has sparked a formal congressional inquiry. Representative Robert Garcia has requested documents and communication records from the White House concerning CZ, Binance, and the Trump family.

Garcia’s concerns stem from media reports suggesting that Binance once promoted a stablecoin linked to the Trump family and allegedly encouraged a UAE investor to use it while considering investing in Binance.

Calling for full transparency, Garcia has asked that all related records be submitted by November 20, 2025. Lawmakers are investigating whether business connections influenced the pardon, despite denials from both CZ and Trump.

### Crypto’s Growing Role in Global Politics and Finance

Analysts suggest the focus should move beyond whether a deal existed between CZ and Trump. The key takeaway is that cryptocurrency has entered mainstream politics and global finance.

Leading figures in the crypto industry are now meeting with world leaders, attending major summits, and shaping national policies. This represents a turning point where cryptocurrency is no longer viewed as an outsider sector but as a recognized force influencing the future of global economies and governance.

New Mexico man allegedly kills mother, stores dismembered remains in home freezer for weeks: Report

An Albuquerque, New Mexico man has been arrested on charges of allegedly killing and dismembering his mother before placing her remains in a freezer, according to reports.

Court records show 49-year-old Leroy Vallejos was booked into the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center on Wednesday. He faces charges including first-degree murder, battery, battery of a household member, and tampering with evidence. Vallejos is currently being held under preventative detention.

The Albuquerque Police Department reported that Vallejos admitted to choking his 69-year-old mother, Ernestina Lucero, to death nearly three weeks ago, KRQE Albuquerque reported. Police further revealed that Vallejos claimed his mother was part of a “group of people giving their lives to darkness” who were conspiring against him.

Officers conducted a welfare check at Lucero’s home last Tuesday after Vallejos informed a healthcare company that his mother had been missing for about a week. He had contacted the company to request payment for her care despite not having seen her recently. During the welfare check, Vallejos allowed officers inside and told them his mother had gone to Mexico. However, officers found Lucero’s prescriptions still in her bedroom.

One officer reportedly found garbage bags inside a large freezer, which were later determined to contain the remains of a female, according to the station. This discovery prompted a more thorough search of the home, where officers found a saw with what appeared to be dried blood stains under a sink.

Prior to the welfare check, another family member had reported Lucero missing, leading the police department to issue a missing person bulletin on October 23 and begin an investigation. Preliminary findings indicated that Vallejos had allegedly withdrawn money from his mother’s bank account, and her vehicle had been sold before she was reported missing.

The investigation remains ongoing as authorities continue to gather evidence in this disturbing case.

UFO tracker maps eerie clusters of unidentified objects lurking beneath US shorelines: ‘We’re being lied to’

NEW — You can now listen to Fox News articles!

A popular UFO-reporting app has been making waves after reportedly recording tens of thousands of mysterious underwater objects along the United States’ coastlines, raising eyebrows and leaving experts with more questions than answers regarding their origin.

Enigma, a non-partisan organization that boasts the “largest queryable historical sighting database for global UFO sightings,” has recorded roughly 30,000 UFO sightings since its launch in 2022, according to the company’s website. However, users have recently turned their attention away from the skies in the hunt for proof that life may exist elsewhere—underwater.

Since August, Enigma has documented more than 9,000 sightings of mysterious objects within 10 miles of U.S. shorelines or other major bodies of water, Marine Technology News reported.

**UFO Mania Grips Small Town After Mysterious Glowing Object Sighting Goes Viral**

Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) are defined as “any object detected underwater that cannot be immediately identified or explained,” according to Marine Technology News. USOs can be observed through both technological sensors and by the naked eye, with witnesses often describing them as moving at incredibly fast speeds, making precise changes of direction, and possessing “transmedium” capabilities by seamlessly transitioning between water and air.

“What is really interesting to me is the reports that we receive about [United States] underwater vessels detecting craft moving at exceptionally high speeds underwater,” Kent Heckenlively, author of *Catastrophic Disclosure: Aliens, The Deep State and The Truth*, told Fox News Digital. “Now that’s one of two things: That’s something we don’t understand, or that means our technology is picking up ghosts underwater.”

**House Witness Testifies UFOs Nearly Activated Russian Nuclear Missiles During 1982 Incident**

Of the 9,000 reported sightings since August 2025, approximately 500 occurred within 5 miles of a coastline, according to Marine Technology News. Additionally, over 150 objects were reportedly seen either hovering above or entering and emerging from bodies of water.

The two states with the highest coastal populations—California and Florida—top the charts for the highest number of USO sightings, according to Enigma’s website. California accounts for 389 reported sightings, with the Sunshine State coming in second place with 306 witness accounts.

The data also shows several clusters of activity centered around specific coastal points throughout the country, raising eyebrows for both experts and government officials who fear the objects could pose a risk to national security.

**Reporter’s Notebook: Military Whistleblowers Testify to Congress About Unexplained UFO Encounters**

“It seems like there are five or six areas where there’s real high UFO activity around water,” Heckenlively said. “It would make a great deal of sense, and I think the problem that the regular person is facing is that they’re saying to themselves, ‘Okay, if these things are real, how could they come to earth and hide?’ And the ocean seems like a great place to hide.”

The sentiment is echoed by retired Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, who previously argued that video footage released by the Pentagon shows technology that “jeopardizes U.S. maritime security, which is already weakened by our relative ignorance about the global ocean.”

“The fact that unidentified objects with unexplainable characteristics are entering U.S. water space and the [Department of War] is not raising a giant red flag is a sign that the government is not sharing all it knows about all-domain anomalous phenomena,” Gallaudet wrote in a report released last year.

**JD Vance Says He’s ‘Obsessed’ With Eerie UFO Videos**

The 2019 video depicts an unidentified object buzzing past the Navy’s USS Omaha ship before plunging into the Pacific Ocean without a trace.

“Pilots, credible observers and calibrated military instrumentation have recorded objects accelerating at rates and crossing the air-sea interface in ways not possible for anything made by humans,” Gallaudet wrote.

Of the various witness accounts compiled by Enigma, one of the most compelling shows two mysterious underwater objects lighting up while underwater, according to Marine Technology News.

Enigma and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

However, years of public skepticism have led to apps such as Enigma crowdsourcing data regarding UFOs, in what Heckenlively believes is a positive step toward transparency between the U.S. government and citizens looking for answers.

“I’m skeptical of alien stuff,” Heckenlively said. “But I’m convinced that the government is lying to us.”

Trump vows to ‘fund SNAP as soon as possible’ if court allows, blasts Democrats over shutdown delay

NEW: You can now listen to Fox News articles!

President Donald Trump said Friday that his administration has asked federal courts to clarify whether it can legally release Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments as the government shutdown continues.

In a statement posted to Truth Social, Trump said government lawyers had raised doubts about whether existing funds could be used for the November distribution, and that two courts have issued conflicting opinions on the matter.

“Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do,” Trump wrote.

“I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT.”

The president said he had instructed administration attorneys to ask the courts for clarification “as soon as possible.”

“If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay,” Trump added.

“The Democrats should quit this charade where they hurt people for their own political reasons, and immediately REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT.”

Trump urged food stamp recipients to contact Senate Democrats, writing, “If you use SNAP benefits, call the Senate Democrats, and tell them to reopen the Government, NOW! Here is Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’s Office Number.”

SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, provides aid to about 42 million Americans each month, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Funding for the program depends on congressional appropriations, which have lapsed during the current shutdown.

USDA Chief warns, “We’re right at the cliff” as 40 million Americans brace for a potential food stamp cutoff.

The president made his comments one day before the scheduled Nov. 1 payment date for many recipients. The USDA has not publicly confirmed whether benefits will be issued if the courts do not provide new guidance.

Trump has repeatedly accused Democrats of prolonging the shutdown to gain political leverage, while Democrats say the White House could reopen the government by signing a short-term spending bill already passed in the Senate.

In his post, Trump referenced his earlier actions to protect military and law enforcement paychecks during the standoff, calling it his duty to “ensure Americans don’t go hungry.”

‘Meth Busters’: CBP officers in Eagle Pass halt massive drug shipment bound for United States

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Eagle Pass, Texas, intercepted nearly 90 pounds of liquid methamphetamine this week, uncovering the narcotics hidden inside plastic bottles during a vehicle inspection, officials said.

The discovery was made on October 29 at the Camino Real International Bridge when officers referred a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban for secondary inspection. A closer search revealed five plastic bottles containing 88.8 pounds of methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $816,556, CBP said in a statement.

“This significant seizure was possible because of the continued vigilance and alertness our CBP officers put forth on a daily basis,” said Port Director Pete Beattie of the Eagle Pass Port of Entry.

CBP officers seized the narcotics, and Homeland Security Investigations special agents have opened a federal inquiry.

On social media, the agency struck a lighter note by posting photos of the evidence with the caption:
“When there’s something strange, in a vehicle, who you gonna call? Meth Busters!”

The pun-filled post quickly drew attention online, but officials emphasized the serious stakes behind the operation. They called the seizure part of an intensified effort to block synthetic drugs at South Texas ports of entry.

Liquid-form meth shipments have become increasingly common along the border, according to CBP data. The agency has reported several similar interdictions in recent months, including seizures at Laredo, Brownsville, and Pharr, involving narcotics concealed in vehicle compartments and household containers.

CBP said it will continue heightened inspections along the Eagle Pass corridor, where officers process thousands of commercial and passenger vehicles daily.

Stay tuned for more updates on CBP’s ongoing efforts to secure the border and prevent drug trafficking.

Blue state ICE agents dodge bullets, speeding cars as left ramps up tracking campaigns

Two shootings involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have taken place over the past 10 days in Southern California, amid increasing tensions as individuals on the left continue to track ICE agents.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin provided a statement to Fox News Digital detailing one such incident. On Thursday in Ontario, California, an individual pulled their car in front of ICE officers. After the officers ordered the driver to leave the area, the individual attempted to run them over by reversing directly at them without stopping, according to McLaughlin.

Fearing for his life, one ICE officer fired shots at the vehicle, which then fled the scene. McLaughlin described the event as “another example of the threats our ICE officers are facing day in and day out.”

Highlighting the increasing danger to ICE personnel, McLaughlin said, “ICE officers now face a 1,000% increase in assaults against them, including cars being used as weapons, and death threats against our agents are up 8,000%.” She added, “This violence must end. Let me be clear: Anyone who assaults, impedes, obstructs, or threatens the lives of federal officers will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

In a separate incident on October 21, DHS reported that TikTok influencer Carlito Ricardo Parias, an undocumented immigrant, tried to ram his car into a law enforcement vehicle in Los Angeles. ICE officers fired shots at Parias, hitting him in the elbow. Additionally, one U.S. Marshals officer was shot in the hand by a ricochet bullet.

Both individuals involved in these incidents are currently in stable condition. DHS officials confirmed that charges are being pursued against Parias for allegedly assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal law enforcement.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Parias had been tracking ICE agents for months prior to his arrest and was known among some as “Tiktokquero,” “El Señor Richard,” and “Richard.”

These incidents underscore the growing threats faced by ICE officers in the course of their duties, amidst heightened political and social tensions surrounding immigration enforcement.

Anti-Woke New CBS Boss Eyeing Fox News’ Bret Baier for Key Position… as Bari Weiss ‘Quietly Canvassing’ for Top Conservative Amid Major Revamp

**CBS News’ New ‘Anti-Woke’ Boss Eyes Fox News’ Bret Baier for Top Talent Amid Viewer Exodus**

*Published Oct. 24, 2025, 5:30 p.m. ET*

The anti-woke new boss at CBS News is reportedly setting her sights on right-wing Fox News for fresh talent, RadarOnline.com can reveal. Bari Weiss, who was recently appointed to shake things up at CBS News, has her eye on Fox star Bret Baier as CBS Evening News continues to lose viewers amid a perceived left-leaning slant in recent months.

### ‘Quietly Canvassing’ for Baier

Weiss, 41, was brought on board by David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount—the parent company of CBS—to revamp the network’s programming, including staples like *60 Minutes*.

According to Olivier Darcy’s Status newsletter, Weiss has been “quietly canvassing” for a major makeover of CBS’s flagship nightly news broadcast, with Baier’s name mentioned as a potential new anchor. However, Baier is under contract with Fox News until 2028, making his immediate availability unlikely, Darcy noted.

### Both Sides of the Aisle

Bret Baier has been a familiar face on Fox News since joining the network in 1998 as Atlanta bureau chief and correspondent. After serving as Fox’s Pentagon and White House correspondent, he has anchored *Special Report with Bret Baier* since 2009.

Baier earned widespread praise for a tough 2023 interview with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, pressing the Republican on various issues including Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was rigged. Baier also demonstrated his interviewing skills with Trump’s 2024 Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, giving one of her few challenging sit-downs—an exchange described as “contentious” over immigration and border security.

### A ‘Champion of Principled Journalism’

Weiss was hired with a clear mission: to restore balance at CBS News after the network was accused of being overly woke. When announcing Weiss’s appointment on October 6, Ellison said, “We believe the majority of the country longs for news that is balanced and fact-based, and we want CBS to be their home.” He called Weiss a “proven champion of independent, principled journalism.”

Before joining CBS, Weiss worked as an opinion writer at *The New York Times* but resigned in 2020, citing “constant bullying” in an “illiberal environment.” A Pittsburgh native, she went on to build her profile in online journalism, co-founding the newsletter *The Free Press* in 2021. The newsletter grew into a media company, which was purchased earlier this year by Ellison’s Paramount Skydance for $150 million.

### Revamping CBS Evening News

Weiss’s task includes righting the ship at CBS’s flagship evening news program. The show underwent a significant overhaul in January before her arrival. Longtime anchor Norah O’Donnell, who had held the seat since 2019, was replaced by co-anchors John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois.

The revamped format took on a more magazine-style approach, featuring Washington D.C. correspondent Margaret Brennan and weather reporter Lonnie Quinn. However, the changes misfired with viewers, resulting in a notable exodus. O’Donnell had an audience of 4.8 million viewers, which has since dropped to 4.1 million.

### ‘Bias’ Concerns at *60 Minutes*

Weiss has also started making waves at the venerable news magazine *60 Minutes*. After a recent staff meeting, she reportedly asked the correspondents, “Why does the country think you’re biased?” The New York Times described the question as creating a moment of “stunned awkwardness” in the room.

The program has faced legal troubles, as former President Trump sued *60 Minutes* in October 2024, alleging “deceptive conduct” by claiming the show edited an interview with Vice President Harris to make her answers appear more articulate during the campaign. CBS and Paramount Global settled with Trump for $16 million in August.

As Bari Weiss works to revitalize CBS News with a more balanced, principled approach, all eyes will be on whether the network can reclaim its audience—and if Bret Baier will make an unlikely jump from Fox News to lead the charge.

Chris Hansen Shares What He Saw After ICE Ride-Along Targeting Illegals Who Threaten Children

Chris Hansen, host of the investigative series “Takedown,” appeared Wednesday alongside U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), highlighting the agency’s active efforts to remove “criminals out of this country.” Since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, the administration has prioritized cracking down on illegal immigration and conducting mass deportations.

“In the last month, we have caught 45 predators seeking to exploit children. Seven of those were for a new investigative series we have going on with ICE ERO [Enforcement and Removal Operations],” Hansen said. “They go out after these people who are here illegally but have also been convicted of crimes against children.”

Hansen recounted a case involving a convicted sex offender from Mexico who lived next to a daycare facility and just three blocks from a school. “And as we’re doing this, anti-ICE protesters are rallying outside ICE headquarters with no idea as to what we just did,” Hansen added.

Fox’s Jesse Watters noted, “The activists don’t like ICE outside of schools.” Hansen responded, “But it’s OK to have a registered sex offender next door to a daycare facility.”

Under Trump’s push for mass deportations, ICE has conducted raids in major cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City—areas often known as “blue cities.” Despite voters in 2024 ranking the border crisis as a top concern under the Biden administration, Democrats have criticized the deportations and defended some illegal immigrants.

In April 2024, Democrats rallied behind alleged MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, demanding the administration bring him back to the U.S. after he was deported to El Salvador. While some Democrats showed support for Garcia on social media, others, including Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, took taxpayer-funded trips to visit him in El Salvador before his return to the United States.

Watters asked Hansen about his experience in the field with ICE and whether agents shared any insights. Hansen said, “They are very happy to have their hard work shown. These are dedicated men and women who are trying to get criminals out of this country. We’re not talking about somebody who didn’t check a box here. We’re talking about criminals.”

He continued, “We watched in New Mexico one early morning as they arrested a man under investigation for sexually assaulting children in the home at the time. And this guy is in the country illegally.” Hansen emphasized the role of ICE agents in protecting children, “the most innocent asset we have in this society,” and noted their pride in the work they do.

Concerns about migrant children under the leadership of former President Joe Biden increased in summer 2024 after whistleblowers such as Tara Rodas testified against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Rodas brought attention to issues within the Office of Refugee Resettlement, including the vetting of sponsors for migrant children.

In September 2024, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General released a report stating that ICE could not “monitor all unaccompanied migrant children” released from the custody of DHS and HHS amid the ongoing border crisis.

Human trafficking experts, including Ali Hopper, President and founder of GUARD Against Trafficking, have continued to raise concerns with lawmakers about missing migrant children and sex trafficking risks in the U.S. In July 2024, Hopper testified before Congress, revealing that the Biden administration allegedly missed 65,000 calls from migrant children to a hotline established to report safety concerns.

WATCH: Democrat Senator’s Attempt to Gaslight Americans on Illegal Aliens and the Govt. Shutdown Blows Up in Her Face When Fox News’s Lawrence Jones Reveals a Damning Video Clip

The Democratic Party’s ill-advised shutdown of the federal government continues to backfire spectacularly, with the latest humiliation unfolding this week.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the so-called “Schumer Shutdown” took effect at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday after two measures aimed at averting the government shutdown failed in the Senate. Both measures required 60 votes to pass. The GOP-backed measure fell short with a 55-45 vote, notably with Senator Rand Paul voting alongside the Democrats.

The Democratic Party and Paul appeared to prioritize providing health care to illegal immigrants and other unrelated issues over keeping the government running.

On Thursday, Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) appeared on Fox & Friends to insist that Democrats do not support giving health care to illegal immigrants. “I haven’t heard anybody in my party saying illegal immigrants should get access to the health insurance market!” Shaheen claimed.

However, Fox & Friends co-host Lawrence Jones had a surprise ready. He presented footage of several prominent Democrats stating the exact opposite.

“I’m so glad you said that,” Jones replied. “Actually, I have some tape of your Democratic Party members saying this on the debate stage. Let’s play the clip.”

The footage showed a June 2019 Democratic Presidential Primary Debate where every candidate raised their hand when moderator Savannah Guthrie asked if their health care plans would cover illegal immigrants.

“That’s literally every member of your party, from moderate to more progressive, who have said that,” Jones explained.

Once again, a Democratic narrative was debunked on the spot. Well played, Lawrence Jones.
