“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin baselessly said Friday that people will die because of President Donald Trump’s cuts to Social Security and Medicaid, though the president has repeatedly said the two programs will not be touched.
The co-host raged at the ten congressional Democrats who voted to censure Democratic Texas Rep. Al Green Friday for disrupting Trump’s congressional address, arguing that they need to fight against the cuts to Social Security and Medicaid. Trump has promised that the two programs will not be cut, but that has not stopped Democrats from claiming that these programs are in danger.
“They don’t know how to fight and be part of an opposition party,” Hostin said. “Representative Green gave them the example, the Democrats are not meeting the moment. It is very clear that Medicaid is on the table, it is very clear that Social Security is on the table, it is very clear that people will die. The Baby Boomers, the civil rights generation, they knew what to do. They knew how to fight and die for their rights. This generation of Congress, they are not meeting the moment. This is an existential threat! They should be ashamed of themselves. They all should’ve walked out with him!”

Trump has continuously opposed cuts to Social Security and Medicaid, even urging the Republican Party in January 2023 to not “cut a single penny” from either program. The president assured Fox News’ Sean Hannity in February that he would not support any cuts to entitlements, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in the House GOP budget bill unless there are cases of waste, fraud and abuse.
Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) overseer Elon Musk stated during his CPAC interview that DOGE will “save” the programs because the cuts will ensure that the government spends less money on paying off the national debt.
Green shouted at the president during his speech Tuesday night telling him he “has no mandate” and ignored House Speaker Mike Johnson’s demand for decorum. After being escorted from the House floor, Green told reporters that he stood up to Trump’s so-called “desire to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.”
Congressional members voted 224 to 198 on the final passage of the resolution to censure Green over his behavior Thursday.
The Democratic lawmakers who voted to censure Green included Ami Bera and Jim Costa of California, Ed Case of Hawaii, Laura Gillen and Tom Suozzi of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Jared Moskowitz of Florida and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said the Democrats’ message about not firing federal workers is a “losing message,” as most Americans support the downsizing of the federal government. Panelist Sara Haines complained that lawmakers are too focused on infighting rather than doing their jobs.
Did they remember to say “without citing any evidence” when she said this?
How many elderly did Andrew Cuomo kill when he decided to put active COVID cases in nursing homes ?
Sunny’s hair stylist must be making a fortune.
At 160 years old they’ve lived long enough.
baselessly...........................
What hair stylist?............ 😏
Kinda looks like a wig.
Another black female who doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about.
The one who irons it.
Wait, what? Isn’t her husband being investigated for insurance fraud? Insurance fraud is very hurtful to those who need Medicaid.
Must be the same guy Debbie Wasserman-Schultz uses...............
the rantings of a deranged lunatic.
Well, he will cut people that don’t exist from the programs and any other program tied to a fictitious social security number. Also, illegals will likely be cut from any program, as they should be.
Why would anyone with half a brain watch the View aka The Sty. A panel of mouths with no brains to back it up.
Sunny and all Democrats also constantly guaranteed that if Trump wins reelection, he will destroy democracy, "take away all our rights," and permanently install himself as a fascist dictator.
Trump's almost two months into his second term and as far as I can tell, Democrats, we're still a constitutional republic, Trump's the President (who's already been checked by the Republican-controlled SCOTUS), and all Americans still have all their rights. (However, Sunny told her audience that because of the fascist "dictator" Trump, her daughter now has "less rights" than Sunny had when she was young.) LOL.
If I had to summarize all the Democrats, I would say this: Silly paddle signs, grim faces, and boisterously yelling and pointing their walking canes at President Trump during his SOTU speech. That's all you need to know about the childish Democrats. They were never serious. Literally everything they do is just a game, a charade, an act, they're just posers. Clearly, Democrats are George Soros-controlled anti-America zealots. George Soros (who made his vast fortune in the U.S.) hates and despises the United States. So does his son, Alex. Literally everything that the Democrat handlers made puppet Bye-dein do during his 4-year pResidency was anti-America: Porous, wide-open borders, freely handing out Hundreds of $Billions (of our taxpayer money) to the former mediocre stand-up comedian Zelensky, promotion of sanctuary cities, promotion of the extremely violent Black Lives Matter/Antifa thug mob rioter organization, stolen 2020 election, you name it.
I've been saying this for many years but it has to be said again:
All Democrats always accuse Republicans of what the Soros-controlled Democrats are already guilty of perpetrating against the United States.
This tactic of theirs is as old as the hills and twice as dusty. Scare all the old people—the only ones who watch MSM anymore— who are afraid to lose their bennies.
“The Baby Boomers, the civil rights generation, they knew what to do. They knew how to fight and die for their rights”
We damn sure did!
Until the race-baiters found a way to hoodwink the Democrat party.
Time for ABC to be sued for some billions more, and idiot bitch to also be bankrupted by lawsuit for *LYING* about Trump on national television.
There is so much fraud in both, but they call the savings cuts.
The savings and removal of fraud may just save both, but the left won’t care
