Outrage and exposure halts Trump's plans for Social Security service cuts - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC [View all]

Rachel Maddow shares video of Rep. John Larson (D-CT) channeling the outrage of his constituents at the anticipation that Donald Trump's top donor, Elon Musk, is intending to destroy Social Security in order to privatize it.
