Republican John Kennedy takes aim at Biden over social security funding

Senator accuses president of ‘demagoguing’ issue to fund and protect program, along with Medicare, from proposals to cut

The Republican senator John Kennedy accused Joe Biden of “demagoguing” the issue of how to fund social security and Medicare and protecting the two programs from Republican proposals to cut them, calling it a “very immature thing to do”.

Speaking to Fox News Sunday, Kennedy took aim at Biden for mentioning in his State of the Union address last month that some Republicans have proposed to “sunset” social security and Medicare as part of attempts to balance the federal budget.
