Bill Clinton spreads disputed Dem claim that GOP wants to cut Social Security, Medicare

Former President Bill Clinton took a shot at House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Wednesday, telling New York voters that McCarthy wants to cut Social Security and Medicare if given the opportunity.

Speaking at a campaign event for Democratic House candidate Josh Riley, Clinton said that Riley's opponent, Republican Marc Molinaro, wants to help McCarthy become House Speaker. He then made his claim about what McCarthy has planned.

"He said if you vote for us, you didn’t cause this inflation, but you’re going to pay for it because here’s what we’re going to do: We're going to cut Social Security, we’re going to cut Medicare," Clinton said.
