Fox News’ John Roberts stopped Sen. Rick Scott in his tracks on Sunday when the Florida Republican tried to sidestep confronting questions about his controversial 11-step “Rescue America” plan by insisting the anchor was using “Democrat talking points.”
Roberts brought up Scott’s plan on “Fox News Sunday,” making specific mention of one provision that would lead to the end of Social Security and Medicare in as soon as five years.
Reading directly from the proposal, Roberts quoted, “All federal legislation sunsets in five years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.” Roberts pointed out that the plan could affect popular programs like Social Security and Medicare.
