Archive video has surfaced of Chuck Schumer passionately talking about how government programs like Social Security are riddled with waste and fraud and need to be reined in, exactly what the Department of Government Efficiency he so vehemently opposes is now doing.
This footage from 1996 shows Schumer on the Senate floor remarking that “the number one reason” illegal aliens are sneaking across the border is so they can easily defraud such programs.
🚨1996: Chuck Schumer explains “the number one reason" illegals come to the US is so they can defraud programs like Social Security — and wants to stop it.

Chuck sounding very DOGE!

Chuck is the OG in DOGE!
“This is an anti-fraud amendment. All over where we go, people say, why can’t you stop illegal immigrants or others from coming here?” Schumer noted.
“And the number one answer we give our constituents is when they come here, they can get jobs, get benefits against the law because of fraud,” he further declared.
“If you believe you want to stop fraud in immigration, you have no choice but to support this amendment,” he urged, referring to an amendment introduced to add additional security features to the Social Security card.
Last month more footage, this time from as recently as 2010 was shared of Schumer saying essentially the exact same thing.
Chuck Schumer just posted that Elon is a liar for claiming that Social Security and Medicare have lots of waste, fraud, and abuse.

Chuck also says that any cuts in these programs by DOGE will reduce benefits.

Schumer was so into this that he chaired entire summits about it, but somehow now Elon and Trump are doing more than just complain about it, it’s bad.
He definitely wasn't lying back then. He led an entire summit on reducing waste fraud and abuse.

What changed?
The fraud and waste only got worse.
Look at @SenSchumer back in 2010. And 15 years later with no auditing of those organizations, the fraud is exponentially greater! And now, His TDS won't allow him to agree that what DOGE is doing, is the right thing to do for taxpayers! Mentally compromised hypocrite! https://t.co/Ru3GWezTfy

Schumer wasn’t the only OG DOGE Dem, Nancy Pelosi also completely agreed that waste fraud and abuse are rife in Medicare.
I agree!

Imagine our shock.
So you're telling me that younger versions of Democrats actually would support DOGE, but the fact that DOGE is coming from Trump's team means that it's literally Hitler?

The difference is that all they did was talk about it.
This is how politicians hide in plain sight. They talk about a problem, say they need to fix the problem, but nothing is ever done about the problem because they are the problem

As we previously highlighted, Democrats under Obama had their very own DOGE:
Pelosi also had her own 1996 moment, sounding very much like orange Hitler while talking about China, trade deficits, and tariffs.
Incredible clip from 1996. Nancy Pelosi on tariffs and the trade deficit with China.

Again, what changed?
Yet somehow she has miraculously became a multi-millionaire. I wonder why she changed her mind?

Well, there was that.
She’s come a long way in the wrong direction. https://t.co/n88J7bG3XE

Bernie Sanders also agreed on tariffs once upon a time.

Of course Bernie now says that Trump's tariffs will destroy America. 🤡 pic.twitter.com/H61VBdoeag
And Schumer as recently as 2018, during Trump’s first term!

Like many Democrats, he speaks a little differently when he's not on MSNBC or CNN.pic.twitter.com/NKwnp93hJg
Add these clips to the buckets of times Democrats talked about needing to close the border and stem the out of control flow of illegal immigration.
Here is a supercut of democrats advocating for the same thing Present Trump wants to do about illegal immigration. pic.twitter.com/69lYfYv9ej

Democrats will argue against anything Trump does no matter how many times they argued for it.
