Senator calls out CNN for repeating Biden spin

Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy is a man who does not concern himself with throwing red meat around, but even he ran out of patience with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for repeating White House talking points about Republicans and Social Security, telling her that “you know better than that” during an interview on Thursday’s CNN This Morning.

Since Social Security reform is something Cassidy finds greatly important, Collins asked what he thought of Nikki Haley’s proposal to raise the retirement age. Cassidy replied that by itself, it would not and then turned to his own plan, but unfortunately, the White House is not interested, “they’ve not presented a plan. The president’s willing to let this go bankrupt because he doesn’t want to talk about it before his re-election. It is irresponsible. It is foolish and it is wrong for the American people.”
