Kamala Harris Lies about Trump's Plans to Cut Social Security
Statement: "Donald Trump intends to cut Social Security."
In her desperate attempts to smear Trump, Kamala Harris and her Democrat cronies are at it again, spreading fake news about Trump's plans for Social Security.
"Donald Trump intends to cut Social Security and Medicare," she screamed at a rally, trying to scare retirees into voting for her failing campaign.
First of all, nobody cares what Kamala has to say. She's about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. And second, this is just another pathetic attempt by the left to paint Trump as some kind of monster.
During his time in the public eye, Trump has made some comments about Social Security that have been taken out of context by these liberal hacks. But what they're ignoring is that Trump has recently clarified his position, stating that he will not cut Social Security and Medicare. That's right, the Donald is committed to protecting these programs, unlike the Democrats who just want to raise your taxes and take your guns.
The Harris campaign is trying to cherry-pick old quotes from Trump to push their narrative. But it's not going to fly anymore. We've got Trump on record during this very campaign cycle, pledging his support for these programs. He even posted a video to his campaign website, saying not "a single penny" should be cut from Social Security. So, there you have it, straight from the horse's mouth.
This is just another example of the liberal media and their puppet politicians spreading fake news and trying to scare Americans. They know they can't win on their own merits, so they resort to lying and smearing their opponents. It's pathetic, and Americans aren't buying it anymore.
So, when you hear these lies from Kamala Harris and her friends, remember the truth: Trump is the only candidate who will protect your Social Security and Medicare. The left will just take it all away and give it to their welfare queen buddies.
PolitiFact's ruling:
Harris' statement is "Mostly False." It contains a shred of truth but ignores critical facts, like Trump's recent pledges to protect Social Security.
