(TNND) \u2014 The White House shared a hateful depiction of \u201cHow the Grinch Stole Christmas\u201d on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Its X account posted an altered advertisement for the 2000 movie that shows the Grinch holding handcuffs instead of an ornament. Law enforcement is seen arresting someone at the bottom of the poster, and the film\u2019s title is changed to \u201cHow the Illegals Stole Healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCc: Democrats,\u201d the White House captioned the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WhiteHouse\/status\/1999653567066439718\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">picture<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHate, hate, hate.

Imagine Entertainment, another studio, was unable to be reached.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration has claimed that Democratic lawmakers want to give free healthcare to immigrants who are in the country illegally, although top members of the party have denied that idea. President Donald Trump shared a<a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/115290424560405640\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> fake video<\/a> on social media before the government shutdown that depicts House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer saying they could win the immigrants\u2019 votes by giving them free healthcare, but both Democrats rejected the post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we give all these illegal aliens free healthcare, we might be able to get \u2018em on our side so they can vote for us. They can\u2019t even speak English, so they won\u2019t realize we\u2019re just a bunch of woke pieces of sh*t, you know?\u201d Schumer is depicted saying. \u201cAt least for a while, until they learn English and they realize they hate us too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schumer and Jeffries said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/democraticleader.house.gov\/media\/press-releases\/jeffries-schumer-statement-trump-shutdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">joint statement<\/a> days later that Trump had become more \u201cerratic and unhinged\u201d as the shutdown began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of negotiating a bipartisan agreement in good faith, he is obsessively posting crazed deepfake videos,\u201d the lawmakers said.<\/p>\n<p>Open the Books, a government watchdog, said in an October <a href=\"https:\/\/openthebooks.substack.com\/p\/nearly-200m-in-direct-federal-grants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">report<\/a> that immigrants who were in the U.S. illegally had received nearly $200 million for healthcare in recent years, but The National News Desk couldn\u2019t confirm. The organization said it estimated the amount by reviewing grants for healthcare supply and outreach.<\/p>\n<p>Federal law prohibits many noncitizens from receiving coverage through government programs, including the marketplace established by the Affordable Care Act, but uninsured immigrants may rely on hospitals that receive grants and treat people regardless of whether they can pay.<\/p>\n<p>Have questions, concerns or tips?
