This is both comically ignorant economically and, on the immigrant count, empirically wrong by a factor of 2-3.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sending emails to her staff saying "please print" or Donald Trump sending letters to Jeffrey Epstein alluding to child rape, both candidates sent some questionable messages to people that they knew.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

To be clear: D senators trusting R senators who promise a vote on ACA subsidies at some future point is nothing more that a liar convincing a sucker. A sucker for believing the lie, and for believing that Johnson will ever bring it up in the House.
