ABC’s Jonathan Karl rewrites Republicans’ long history of targeting Social Security
"Immediately following President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address last night, ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl leapt to defend the Republican Party from the president’s explanation that some members of the GOP hold out hopes of cutting vital entitlement programs, specifically Social Security and Medicare. Biden’s statement was obviously true based on publicly reported facts, the GOP’s long history of opposition to these programs, and even the words of top Republican leaders themselves — all of which Karl overlooked in dismissing the president’s comments as “over the top.”
It has been widely reported in recent weeks that House Republicans hope to use the debt ceiling crisis, which they have manufactured, to force Biden and the Democrats to adopt painful and unpopular cuts to Social Security or other important safety net programs. These Republican plans to target Social Security are in fact such an open secret that even disgraced former President Donald Trump has weighed in, warning the GOP against adopting such unpopular policies ahead of the 2024 election.
About midway through his speech last night, Biden explained that Republicans “want to take the economy hostage” as a condition of raising the debt ceiling, and in particular that they may demand concessions on Medicare and Social Security."
