After RNC, Loeffler and Collins Fully Stand with Trump’s Toxic Agenda

August 28, 2020

Across the board, Republicans’ plans put Georgians last in the middle of a global pandemic and recession

ATLANTA — Senator Kelly Loeffler and Congressman Doug Collins spent this week praising President Donald Trump’s disastrous record and reckless agenda as part of the Republican National Convention — even while they both ignored the coronavirus crisis back in Georgia. 

Today, the Democratic Party of Georgia is ready to remind Loeffler and Collins of the toxic plans they’ve signed on to:

  • Undermining Social Security: Trump’s previously issued executive order would undermine a key funding source for Social Security and Medicare — and Republicans’ plan to eliminate payroll taxes would lead to the Social Security Trust Fund becoming “permanently depleted by the middle of calendar year 2023” according to a new report from the Chief Actuary of the Social Security Administration.

“Instead of standing up for Georgia, Senator Kelly Loeffler and Congressman Doug Collins have signed on to Trump’s reckless agenda,” said Alex Floyd, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Georgia. “Republicans’ plans put Georgia families last and threaten critical protections in the middle of a pandemic and a recession — but Loeffler and Collins would rather score points with the White House than look out for Georgia.”
