Among those jeering or expressing disbelief during Biden’s speech Tuesday night was Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah). On Wednesday, Biden quoted from a 2010 video of Lee saying that it is his “objective to phase out Social Security” and that “Medicare and Medicaid … need to be pulled up” by their roots.
“They sure didn’t like me calling them [out] on it,” Biden said. “A lot of Republicans, their dream is to cut Social Security, Medicare. Well, let me just say this: It’s your dream, but I’m going to, with my veto pen, make it a nightmare.” (Washington Post)

“When I raised the plans of some of their members in their caucus to cut Social Security … Marjorie Taylor Greene and others stood up and said: ‘Liar, liar,’” Biden said. “Well, guess what? … I [will] remind you that Rick Scott from Florida, the guy who ran a U.S. Senate campaign, has a plan. I got his brochure right here!” (Washington Post)

“President Biden clearly struck a nerve last night when he raised congressional Republicans’ long history of working to cut the Medicare and Social Security benefits that Americans pay to earn for their entire working lives,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in an email. (Washington Post)
Music to my ears, INDEED. Thanks, President Biden, for calling OUT the LIARS/FABRICATORS/SNAKE OIL SALES PEOPLE/TRICKSTERS/and HYPOCRITES of within the Republican Party. IN PLAIN SIGHT, by the way, President Biden, that IS the trick in making the GOP choke on their BULL SHIT. Hey DEMOCRATS, learn this masterful trick. In each and any public appearance REMIND the voters of the EXACT SCHEMES, AND PLANS they have that the ready to cut Medicare and Social Security. Have them publicly DENOUNCE their intentions, and then when they think they are in some secret Cabal trying their best to CONTINUE to cut Medicare and Social Security, call them out, over and over and over again!
