In an epic display of wit, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) demolished woke Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for repeating baseless lies about President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). In Schumer’s post, he parroted disproven Democratic talking points that portrayed Trump as a dangerous leader.
For context, Democrats have been losing their minds since Trump established DOGE to root out government waste and corruption. While the majority of Americans have applauded the department’s high-profile corruption busts and billions saved, Democrats have been fearmongering about DOGE and attempting to hamper fraud fighters wherever possible.
Such was shown in the Senator’s April 7, 2025, post, where he spread fear about DOGE cutting Social Security, a lie that has been disproven many times. He said, “Trump has unleashed chaos on America —His tariffs hit families with the largest tax hike in more than 50 years —DOGE is sabotaging Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid —The market is having its worst 3 days since COVID. And Congressional Republicans are going along with it all so they can cut taxes for billionaires.”
Musk stepped into the fray to slam Schumer for his slanderous statements. He hilariously joked, “Chuck, I’m starting to think you’re getting a piece of the action with the government fraud. But no, that couldn’t possibly be the reason, could it? …”
Responding in a viral tweet, Senator Mike Lee, a Republican firebrand, demolished Chuck Schumer with an epic fact check. He responded, “How is @DOGE “sabotaging Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid”? Back it up.”
In the comments under Lee’s post, conservatives pounced on the allegedly corrupt senator. One of the comments read, “They can’t back up anything they say. It’s all just scripted talking. The difference is DOGE puts it all on X and their website for transparency after exposing. I’ve asked Chuck 50 times show 1 example of truth but they just ignore bc they don’t exist. They can’t.”
Other comments drew attention to how lazy Democrats are with their rhetoric. One such comment said, “See….there’s the rub. They expect their constituents to not honk for themselves and take everything they say as gospel. (Which most of the Democrat voters do ).” Another response read, “He can’t. He’s a liar. Democrats have been beating this same drum for DECADES.”

Rounding out the replies, users thanked Musk for saving Social Security. One of the responses said, “Doge is trying to save SS and Medicare. We can’t go on with a deficit every year. Repeal the income tax or increase the tax cuts for the middle class- every year, I owe. Putting an interest rate on a payment plan for taxes should be illegal.”
Unsurprisingly, this was not Schumers’ only disproven claim about social security. As we reported, he previously asserted that Trump’s drive to increase efficiency would somehow cut benefits. Schumer said, “If you can’t get the Social Security you earned because Trump’s cutting Social Security staff—that’s a benefits cut.”
Building on that audacious claim, he said that it was really the Democrats who were fighting for the program. He said, “If you can’t get answers to your questions or get an issue resolved because no one can take your call—that’s a benefits cut Dems are fighting for Social Security.”
