Biden Uses Republican Heckling To Publicly Strong-Arm Them Into Dropping Demands For Medicare, Social Security Cuts
In the strongest moment of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, the President used Republican boos and jeers to veer off script and push members of the opposing party into backing off their long-discussed desire to cut Medicare and Social Security.
Republicans, who heckled to such an intense degree that Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) repeatedly shushed them from the dais, erupted as soon as Biden mentioned their plans.
“Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset every five years,” he said, prompting the uproar.
Despite the faux outrage, many Republicans have publicly expressed their desire to cut the programs. Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) included sunsetting both of them in his plan for the Republican Senate agenda, forcing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to explicitly and publicly slap down the proposals.

Brutal. 
If they did know, they're total idiots to vote for Repukes who won't any blame for killing Social Security and Medicare.
Even if they succeed in doing it, they won't take the blame for it.
And last night, CSPAN's "audience cam" caught his idiotic goofy, "What? Who me?" look.
