NY War Room: New York Republicans Refuse to Condemn Proposed Social Security Changes

August 15, 2023

New York, NY – The silence from extremist New York Republicans Nick LaLota, George Santos, Anthony D’Esposito, Marc Molinaro, and Brandon Williams is deafening as they refuse to condemn proposed Social Security changes that would cut benefits for millions.

Notably, LaLota and Williams are members of the Republican Study Committee that released a proposal that includes cutting and delaying Social Security payments. The RSC claims all their members endorsed this devastating proposal. Additionally, LaLota, Santos, D’Esposito, Lawler, Molinaro, and Williams have falsely claimed on numerous occasions that they support Social Security, yet when pushed to clarify their contradicting positions, they remain silent.

“MAGA Republicans Nick LaLota, George Santos, Anthony D’Esposito, Marc Molinaro, Mike Lawler, and Brandon Williams are fixated on supporting devastating cuts to Social Security that would hurt millions of New Yorkers,” HMP NY Press Secretary Alisha Heng said. “The radical anti-Social Security agenda they are pushing is not welcome here, and New Yorkers will ensure they are voted out in 2024.”
