Hillary Clinton appeared as a guest on MSNBC’s “TheReidOut”. Joy Reid and Hillary Clinton discussed their opinions regarding the apparent “lack of understanding” Americans have of “the threat to our way of life” that a Republican Congress would have. They believed that Social Security, and Medicare, would be among the programs that would be under threat in the hands of a Republican majority.<\/p>\n

“I think that with all of the noise that we\u2019ve gotten in this election season I don\u2019t think that people are really able to grasp that. But more importantly, I\u2019m not sure they really understand the threats to their way of life<\/strong><\/span>. They may think that whoever\u2019s chairing a committee, you know, kind of abstract. But the Republicans in the House and others like the chair of the Republican Senate Campaign Committee [Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla.] are on record saying they\u2019re going to put Social Security and Medicare up for a vote,” Clinton claimed.<\/p>\n

Sen. Scott, chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, revealed an “11-Point Plan” in February which included the proposal that “All federal legislation sunsets in 5 years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.” Though Democrats have seized on this as evidence of a GOP plan to cut Social Security and Medicare, both Sens. Scott and Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., have confirmed they would not be eliminated<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Clinton continued, “Now I don\u2019t understand why every American, not just people eligible for those two programs that they have paid into that they have worked hard for, that they have earned, are not up in arms. We\u2019ve got lots of problems right now in our country<\/strong><\/span>. We need sensible people to come together to try and solve them. The last thing we need is to make life even harder for the vast majority of Americans because it\u2019s not just seniors who would have Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block. It would be their children and their grandchildren who would have to step in and fill the hole that they had left.”<\/p>\n

Clinton repeatedly denounced Republicans for “violent rhetoric” that she claimed led to the attack on Pelosi\u2019s husband and was “disqualifying for people who are running for office” and further proof that the GOP s [sic] a threat to democracy.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“I didn’t see a big outpouring on the part of elected officials to stand with Nancy Pelosi the way she has stood with Republicans as well as Democrats in times of real terror like on Jan. 6. So ask yourselves, please, why would you entrust power to people who they themselves are unable to see how terrible it is that someone may be attacked in their home or don’t really care because they somehow think it’ll get them votes or get them elected? This is a real threat to the heart of democracy<\/strong><\/span>,” Clinton said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
