The White House refused to back down on their attacks on the GOP over Social Security and Medicare even after Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., explicitly changed his plan to leave those programs alone.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday that Florida Sen. Rick Scott's amended"Rescue America" plan shows he had always intended to cut Social Security and Medicare."The president congratulates Senator Scott on joining the post-State of the Union red wave, as we have seen from Republicans acknowledging that they [have], in fact, been attempting to put Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block," she said.
"The past year, he has explained the absence of an exception by saying if it's worth keeping, we're going to keep it. But make no mistake, his true colors are undeniable," she said. Republicans have forcefully pushed back on these attacks. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., disavowed Scott's plan and has said Republican leadership agrees Social Security and Medicare"are not to be touched."
