Earlier this week I was called a “Nazi” online. This isn’t new. I get this at least once a week. As a published historian, I find the misuse of that label a mark of ignorance. I found that a few of my colleagues also had been called the same thing. It got me thinking; how many lies are out there that the Left has used?
As it turns out, there are a lot of lies being spewed. This isn’t the usual self-proclaimed social justice warriors leveling these baseless accusations. In many cases this is coming from members of the House, the Senate, and left-leaning “news” programs.
I’ve compiled a far from complete list, focusing on the big ones. Tracking all of them could be a full time job.
- Trump is cutting Social Security, or the variant, Social Security is at risk. Not once as the President said that he was going to do this. He did say that DOGE was going to look for waste at Social Security. What they found was the illegals were given social security numbers, that there was indeed waste and possibly fraud in the agency. Cuts though? No. If anything, DOGE’s actions might have bought the funds there more survival time.
- Elon Musk is stealing. This one, while laughable, is one of the most frequent. What is he accused of stealing? Personal data, social security numbers, money…the details (or facts as we call them) don’t seem important. Not a single bit of evidence exists to support this whopper. Frankly, I find it hard to believe that the richest man in the world would bother with a paltry $2,600 social security payment.
- President Trump is going to cut Medicaid/Medicare. To date, no one in the Administration has proposed cuts to these programs. Waste cutting? Absolutely! Cutting people off who were illegally or fraudulently getting the benefits, yes! Not a single benefit has been targeted.
- Musk and his DOGE team pose a security risk. Long before being part of DOGE, Elon had a security clearance. His team also have the appropriate clearances. This was all done above board.
