Good morning, everyone. I want to address Bernie Sanders' recent criticism regarding Social Security. He tweeted that one of us has fought to cut Social Security, referencing a 1995 statement of mine about freezing federal spending, including Social Security. However, that context is often overlooked. I was focused on preventing a government shutdown, not cutting benefits. It's surprising to revisit statements from decades ago, especially when they are taken out of context. Throughout my career, I've consistently supported Social Security. I worked with other Democrats to ensure its solvency during the Reagan years. Our obligation is to protect the youngest and oldest among us, and I have never wavered in that commitment.
