U.S. Rep. Lateefah Simon expressed her discontent after walking out of President Trump's joint address to Congress, citing a lack of truth in his statements regarding Social Security and his negative portrayal of federal workers. Having experienced the importance of Social Security benefits personally, Simon highlighted the detrimental impact of proposed cuts on millions of Americans. She emphasized her commitment to focusing on the needs of her constituents in California's 12th Congressional District, rather than engaging with what she perceives as the president's dishonesty and divisive rhetoric.
There was no truth to be found. After hearing President Trump's lies about Social Security and his celebration of firing dedicated federal workers, I walked out of his joint address.
I know firsthand how devastating the administration's cuts to Social Security will be. I don't need to listen to more of the president's lies or blatant celebration of racism and transphobia.
