WATCH: AOC dodges question on taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants at town hall

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins pressed the Dem ‘Squad’ member whether illegal immigrants should receive free healthcare. 

FOX NEWS — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., repeatedly sidestepped a question about whether she believed illegal immigrants should receive taxpayer-funded healthcare during a CNN town hall on Wednesday night.

Ocasio-Cortez, who continues to generate buzz as a possible 2028 presidential contender or a potential primary challenger to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., appeared alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to address questions about the ongoing government shutdown.

Jill Ireland, identified by CNN as a California Democrat who works in insurance, submitted a pre-taped question: “Do you think taxpayers should be paying for the medical care of immigrants who are in the country illegally?”
