'Don't have me on the show!' Republican loses it as CNN host doubts claims

CNN anchor Boris Sanchez tried to keep the reins on a Friday interview with Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) as the two repeatedly talked over one another regarding the House spending bill and her concerns over Medicaid fraud.

"If you're not eligible, you should not be receiving benefits. It's as simple as that," Malliotakis said. "That makes you a fraudster."

The pair clashed over interpretations of who the GOP wants to kick off Medicaid — and how the decision would be made. Sanchez pointed out that institutionalized people would be able to meet work requirements, but still need to support.

"Those individuals would not be affected," Milliotakis responded, before Sanchez snapped back, "It was up for discussion in committee, that's why I'm asking."

"Now look. It seems to me that you guys, you just want to try to act like Republicans are trying to kick off people who are eligible for the program. That is not the case," the Republican accused.

"If you don't adhere to the work requirements for able-bodied individuals who do not have dependents, then yes, you could lose. If you are a fraudster, one of the 1.5 million. taking advantage of the program because you're not eligible for it in your district, they will not —"

Sanchez interrupted again: "You suggested that I'm trying to make it seem like Republicans are trying to do something. I'm trying to clarify. The reason I'm asking you this question, there are concerns that folks that may be eligible may be kicked off of these programs because they don't meet some of these requirements, even though, in the view of many Americans, they should be receiving some kind of help."

Sanchez asked her again if she had an estimate of how many people in her district would be affected.

"I wasn't trying to make it seem like you're trying to do anything. I was asking you for a ballpark number for your district, okay?" Sanchez said.

"So, you don't let me explain. I'm trying to explain to you. So if you don't want to hear the answer, then don't have me on the show!"
