Hawley Blasts House GOP Call To Raise Social Security Age: “Republicans Are So Stupid, What A Terrible Idea”

“What a terrible idea. If Republicans want to be in the minority party forever, then go ahead and endorse that. Republicans are so stupid. If they want to go to working people and say, ‘Congratulations, you have paid into this your whole life — your payroll taxes — and now we’re going to take part of it away from you. We’re going to make you work even longer than we said beforehand,’ I just think that’s the stupidest thing I ever heard.” – Sen. Josh Hawley, responding to the House Republican Study Committee calling for raising the Social Security retirement age.
