Janet Mills’ comments on Morning Joe about Social Security being at risk due to federal funding cuts were criticized by Matt Gagnon as misleading and fear-mongering. Mills’ claims that Social Security could be affected by federal funding cuts were refuted, as Social Security eligibility is not based on gender or transgender status. Gagnon accused Mills of using fear to justify her policies and criticized her for her dictatorial behavior and misrepresentation of facts. The conversation also touched on the potential costs to Maine taxpayers if the issue goes to court and the embarrassment Mills has brought to the state. Additionally, a new entrant into the gubernatorial race, Bobby Charles, was mentioned.
Matt speaks with Security Analyst Josh Filler. Josh Filler is an attorney and former New York City, White House, and Department of Homeland Security official. Josh Filler works with law enforcement and other public safety agencies across the country on homeland security and emergency preparedness issues.
