Archive Footage Exposes Democrats As The OGs Of DOGE & Tariffs
They were all for cutting waste, fraud and abuse until Trump actually started doing it
Steve Watson | Modernity.news
Archive video has surfaced of Chuck Schumer passionately talking about how government programs like Social Security are riddled with waste and fraud and need to be reined in, exactly what the Department of Government Efficiency he so vehemently opposes is now doing.
This footage from 1996 shows Schumer on the Senate floor remarking that “the number one reason” illegal aliens are sneaking across the border is so they can easily defraud such programs.
1996: Chuck Schumer explains “the number one reason” illegals come to the US is so they can defraud programs like Social Security — and wants to stop it.
Chuck sounding very DOGE!

Chuck is the OG in DOGE!
“This is an anti-fraud amendment. All over where we go, people say, why can’t you stop illegal immigrants or others from coming here?” Schumer noted.
“And the number one answer we give our constituents is when they come here, they can get jobs, get benefits against the law because of fraud,” he further declared.
“If you believe you want to stop fraud in immigration, you have no choice but to support this amendment,” he urged, referring to an amendment introduced to add additional security features to the Social Security card.
Last month more footage, this time from as recently as 2010 was shared of Schumer saying essentially the exact same thing.
Chuck Schumer just posted that Elon is a liar for claiming that Social Security and Medicare have lots of waste, fraud, and abuse.
Chuck also says that any cuts in these programs by DOGE will reduce benefits.

He definitely wasn’t lying back then. He led an entire summit on reducing waste fraud and abuse.

What changed?
The fraud and waste only got worse.
Look at @SenSchumer back in 2010. And 15 years later with no auditing of those organizations, the fraud is exponentially greater! And now, His TDS won’t allow him to agree that what DOGE is doing, is the right thing to do for taxpayers! Mentally compromised hypocrite!

Schumer wasn’t the only OG DOGE Dem, Nancy Pelosi also completely agreed that waste fraud and abuse are rife in Medicare.
I agree!

Imagine our shock.

So you’re telling me that younger versions of Democrats actually would support DOGE, but the fact that DOGE is coming from Trump’s team means that it’s literally Hitler?

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
