Martin OMalley, “They Have To Wreck It So They Can Rob It.” [1]

Once again I happened to be watching MSNBC when Rachel Maddow was talking with Martin OMalley, the former head of Social Security. She asked him what he thought about what the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had said on a news show. Lutnick said that his mother in law would not call to complain if she didn’t get her Social Security . She would wait to see what happened the next month . Then he said that the easiest way to find a fraudster is to stop the checks and see who yells the loudest.

The acting head of Social Security, Leland Dudek, said if the judge who blocked Musk and Doge from getting into our personal information didn’t cancel that ruling that he would “Shut the whole thing down.” Later today Dudek recanted his threat.

Mr OMalley responded to Rachel Maddow “The ignorance of how so many people live is cold hearted and cruel.” “Dudek is in charge because he will do whatever Doge wants. They have to wreck it so they can rob it. They are trying to break Social Security’s ability to serve the public. They have taken 90% of the moves to crater SS. This should be the Bunker Hill that the democrats should be ready to die on.”

OMalley’s perspectives are becoming more dire and chilling. In the interview with Nicole Wallace he called on people to rise up. Now he’s calling on Democrats in Congress to fight like their lives and ours depend on it because they do.
