State of the Union gets rowdy after Biden charges the Republican Party: “Liar!”

President Joe Biden fell out with congressional Republicans after a statement he made about them during the State of the Union.

In his speech, Biden said Republicans want to “shut down” Medicare and Social Security.”

“Instead of making the rich pay their fair share, some Republicans—some Republicans—want the end of Medicare and Social Security,” Biden began. “I’m not saying it’s the majority…”

It was cut short as Congressional Republicans loudly disagreed with his statement.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) shakes his head and says, “No.”

Biden responded, “Let me give you… Anyone who doubts this, contact me at the office. I’ll give you a copy of the offer.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) yelled, “You’re lying! … Liar!”

The President joked, “I’m glad you see it. I’m telling you, I like the treatment.”

Biden stressed that he does not believe that the majority of Republicans support this proposal. He added: “But it is being offered by individuals. I politely don’t name them, but some people suggest it.”

The Washington Post notes that this statement stems from a long list of policy proposals by Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.).

“On page 38, in the section on government restructuring, there was one sentence: “All federal legislation expires after 5 years. If the law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again, ”the Post fact checker notes.

It added: “’Sunset’ is Ring Road slang. The Congressional Research Service offers the following definition: “The concept of zakat provides for the automatic termination of programs and agencies on a periodic basis, unless expressly extended by law.” Theoretically, even such venerable programs as Social Security or Medicare would have to be re-proved every five years, although neither was specifically mentioned.

Scott also said he didn’t want to send Social Security or Medicare.

Finally, The Post notes that the senator’s plan did not receive widespread support among Republicans.

“This is yet another example of Democrats trying their best to come up with a non-existent GOP plan for welfare and health care,” he added.
