White House Defends DOGE’s Social Security Audit, Slams Democrats’ Hypocrisy
In a recent interview on “Hannity,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized Democrats for their hypocritical stance on DOGE’s Social Security audit. Leavitt highlighted the fact that former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton also advocated for the elimination of waste, fraud, and abuse in taxpayer dollars. She pointed out that if one were to listen to the words of Democrat politicians without watching the video, they would sound just like President Trump and Elon Musk, who have been emphasizing the same goals. Leavitt emphasized that Trump is the first president to actually deliver on these promises.
Identification of Fraudulent Social Security Payments
Leavitt clarified that President Trump has instructed Elon Musk and the DOGE team to uncover fraud at the Social Security Administration. Although they have not yet delved into the books, they suspect that there are millions of deceased individuals receiving fraudulent Social Security payments. Their primary objectives are to identify and end duplicate payments, stop payments to deceased individuals, and safeguard the integrity of the system for hardworking Americans who have contributed to it throughout their lives. Leavitt assured viewers that if they have honestly paid into the system, they will continue to receive their Social Security checks.
Pushback from Democrats and Highlighting Bipartisan Support
Democrats have intensified their attacks on DOGE and its leader, Elon Musk, arguing that the project violates the Constitution. They have filed multiple lawsuits to impede the progress of the new department. However, the White House is pushing back, emphasizing that prominent Democrats, including former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, previously championed the objectives of DOGE. Leavitt played clips of Biden and Obama expressing their support for eliminating wasteful spending and emphasizing the importance of protecting taxpayers’ money.
Public Opinion and Exclusive Interview
Recent polling indicates that a significant portion of Americans approves of DOGE’s efforts. According to a survey conducted by the Trafalgar Group, 49% of respondents expressed approval, while 44% indicated disapproval. To address the concerns and shed light on the ongoing audit, President Trump and Elon Musk will sit down with Sean Hannity for an exclusive interview on Fox News Channel.
Conclusion
The White House is standing firm in its support of DOGE’s Social Security audit, despite Democratic opposition. Leavitt defended the administration’s objectives and debunked misinformation spread by the media. The interview with Trump and Musk aims to provide further clarity on the audit and address any concerns raised by the public.
