She explained that she has a deep admiration for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in particular, citing how “this man was suffering from polio at the time of his presidency, and yet all he was worried about was trying to make America great—make America great again for real. He’s the real ‘Make America Great Again,’ because if it wasn’t for him, old people wouldn’t even get Social Security.”

The independent Vermont senator likewise shares her passion for Social Security, as demonstrated by his tweet on Wednesday morning:

Cardi B is right. If we are really going to make America great we need to strengthen Social Security so that seniors are able to retire with the dignity they deserve. https://t.co/B8cOkoOdLc
