White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt completely shredded the hypocritical position of Democrats ahead of the Department of Government Efficiency’s audit of the Social Security system. Which is absolutely in need of a massive overhaul.
Leavitt provided a sound defense for President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s objectives with DOGE during an appearance on “Hannity” Monday evening. During the interview she pointed out that former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were all for finding and cutting waste spending, fraud, and abuse of tax dollars.
” If you just watched that video, but shut your eyes and listen to the words from those Democrat politicians, you would think you are listening to President Trump, Elon Musk and our entire administration, who are saying the exact same things that Democrat politicians promised the American people they would do for decades,” she told Hannity.
“President Trump is just the first president in our lifetimes to actually do it. And now you see the Democrat Party and the mainstream media spiraling out of control about a very simple promise: rooting out waste, fraud and abuse from our federal bureaucracy. This is a promise President Trump campaigned on. He is now delivering on it,” she added.
When people complain about DOGE and the work it’s doing to root out this fraud, waste, and abuse, it’s like having your house broken into with the thief caught on video. Elon Musk identifies the person who committed the crime. Instead of demanding the thief be arrested, you call for Musk to be arrested.
Makes no sense, does it?
Leavitt continued, “I’ve been fighting fake news reporters all day long here in the Washington, D.C. swamp who are trying to fearmonger the American people into believing that this administration is going after their hard-earned tax dollars and their hard-earned Social Security checks. So I want to set the record straight on your show tonight, Sean, and I’m very grateful for the opportunity to do so. President Trump has directed Elon Musk and the Doge team to identify fraud at the Social Security Administration.”
“They haven’t dug into the books yet, but they suspect that there are tens of millions of deceased people who are receiving fraudulent Social Security payments and so their goal in going into the Social Security Administration is to identify three things: Number one, to identify duplicate payments and to end them, Number two, to identify payments that are going to deceased people who are no longer living and should no longer be receiving that money and number three, to protect the integrity of the system for hardworking Americans who have been paying into it their entire lives,” she said.
Leavitt then assured folks tuning into Hannity’s program that if they paid into the system honestly they will continue to receive their Social Security payments, despite the false narratives being pushed by legacy media outlets, as they are simply fear-mongering.
“This is what we’ve seen them do about President Trump for years with every promise that he has made, and he’s going in there to protect your hard-earned money. That is the ultimate goal,” she concluded.
Fox News is reporting that Democrats have been increasing the intensity of their attacks on DOGE and Elon Musk, attempting to make the case that the project violates the Constitution. They’ve filed several lawsuits to try and bring things to a halt.
Keep in mind, those who are fighting the hardest against DOGE are likely those who have something they want to remain buried.
