President Joe Biden sparred with Congressional Republicans after a claim he made about them during the State of the Union.
During his remarks, Biden brought up his claim Republicans want to “sunset” Medicare and Social Security.”
“Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans — some Republicans — want Medicare and Social Security to sunset,” Biden began. “I’m not saying it’s the majority…”
He was cut off as Congressional Republicans loudly disagreed with his assertion.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) could be seen shaking his head and appearing to mouth, “No.”

Biden responded, “Let me give you… Anybody who doubts it, contact my office. I’ll give you a copy of the proposal.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was seen yelling, “You lie!… Liar!”
The president quipped, “I’m glad you see it. I tell you, I enjoy conversion.”
Biden stressed he does not believe a majority of Republicans back the proposal. He added, “But it’s being proposed by individuals. I’m politely not naming them, but it’s being proposed by some individuals.”
