Yesterday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick raised the possibility of Americans not receiving their Social Security checks on time on the All In podcast, claiming that seniors like his mother-in-law “wouldn’t call and complain,” and that only “fraudsters” would raise an issue.
Groundwork Collaborative’s Chief of Policy and Advocacy Alex Jacquez reacted with the following statement:
“The Trump Administration just told seniors that they should shut up and sit down if they don’t receive their Social Security checks on time. The real ‘fraudsters’ are Trump’s out-of-touch billionaire donors and advisors denying seniors their hard-earned benefits to pay for their next tax giveaway.”
