In a blistering segment on Fox News, Martha MacCallum dismantled Democrat Senator Chris Coons’ laughable defense of the Biden administration’s catastrophic mismanagement of Social Security. The heated exchange laid bare the Left’s refusal to acknowledge rampant waste, fraud, and abuse—even as the program teeters on the brink of insolvency. While Coons smugly dismissed damning evidence, MacCallum held his feet to the fire, exposing the Democrat Party’s reckless disregard for fiscal responsibility.
The confrontation erupted after MacCallum presented shocking reports from whistleblowers and oversight panels revealing systemic fraud within the Social Security Administration. Yet, instead of addressing the crisis, Coons resorted to the typical liberal playbook: deflect, deny, and attack the messenger.
Sen. Coons: “Martha, not only do I not believe some of what was just shared there, but the Trump administration’s acting administrator of Social Security has said that less than one-tenth of one percent of the payments put out by the Social Security Administration are fraudulent or in error.”
MacCallum, unflinching, fired back, demanding accountability:
Martha MacCallum: “Sir, you sound like you’re pretty okay with all the agencies and how they function. You say all those millions of people depend on Social Security, so you don’t care about the ones that are going to never get it because it’s going to be insolvent in 10 years. What have Democrats done? What did Joe Biden’s administration do to find the waste, fraud, and abuse in Social Security to try to shore up this important agency?”
Coons, scrambling, pivoted to attacking Elon Musk—a desperate distraction from his own party’s failures.
Sen. Coons: “If Elon Musk says that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme, and this president has fired the relevant Inspectors General—who are the people most capable—not a bunch of 20-year-old software engineers with no previous government experience…”
MacCallum, visibly frustrated, shot back:
Martha MacCallum: “No, I can’t because I can’t get a word in edgewise. I’m trying to ask you a question. That’s my job.”
The most jaw-dropping moment came when Coons arrogantly declared:
Sen. Coons: “I don’t believe what DOGE says about virtually any federal agency, but I will believe what the GAO says or the Inspector General, or the Administrator of Social Security.”
The irony? The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has repeatedly exposed $521 billion in annual federal waste—proving Coons’ blind trust in bureaucrats is dangerously naive. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has long warned about the corruption festering in Washington, calling for sweeping reforms to protect taxpayers.
While liberals like Coons bury their heads in the sand, Trump’s policies prioritized accountability, efficiency, and American prosperity. Under Biden, fraud runs rampant, and Democrats would rather attack critics than fix the problem.
