Sen. Blackburn Rebuffs Dems’ ‘Lies’ on Entitlements

President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to preserve entitlement programs and are “fighting” to give Social Security recipients increased benefits, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said Friday.

Blackburn responded to accusations by Democrats that Republicans want to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits. She released a fact sheet explaining how the GOP is working to protect the programs.

“Democrats can lie all they want, but the American people deserve to know the truth: Republicans are fighting to put more money in their pockets – not less,” Blackburn said. “Republicans are going to strengthen and protect these benefits for Americans who are playing by the rules by rooting out any waste, fraud, and abuse in the system.”
