Bernie Sanders agrees with Cardi B on social security
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.
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

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.
