Kimmel Claims GOP Is Lying About Health Care Because ‘Klan Mom’ Says So
8th October 2025
ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel found a strange, new respect for Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a woman he has frequently dubbed “Klan Mom,” on his Tuesday show as he claimed a recent tweet from Greene proved his point that Republicans are lying about health care amid the government shutdown.
Kimmel claimed, “The reason the Democrats refuse to sign this budget agreement is because it will cause millions of Americans to lose their health care. Republicans deny this.”
What Greene omitted and Kimmel continues to omit is that the Obamacare subsidies being discussed removed the cap that limited recipients to those making 400 percent of the federal poverty level for what was supposed to be a temporary COVID relief measure. That means that even if the subsidies were to expire, a family of two making $84,600 could still be eligible. Meanwhile, while Kimmel is trying to say he is right because even Greene agrees with him, Greene is also the same congresswoman who made dire predictions that turned out to be false about what would happen if the U.S. involved itself in the Israel-Iran War back in June.
