Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday pushed for improvements to the Social Security system by piggybacking off rapper Cardi B’s recent praise for former President Franklin Roosevelt.

In a recent profile in GQ, Cardi B revealed her extensive knowledge of presidential history. She said she loves Roosevelt and praised his policies and resilience.

“He’s the real ‘Make America Great Again,’ because if it wasn’t for him, old people wouldn’t even get Social Security,” she told GQ.

Sanders has long been an advocate of strengthening or expanding social welfare programs like Social Security and Medicare.
