MASTERS MOMENT: The One Where He Calls to “Cut the Knot” on Social Security on Live TV
 

PHOENIX — Welcome to today’s ‘Masters Moment’ — a daily opportunity to shine light on Blake Masters’ out-of-touch, offensive, and disqualifying beliefs and opinions.

Over the next 15 days, the ‘Masters Moment’ will be your number one source for all things Masters. While he attempts a desperate pivot to hide his “fringe,” “extreme,” and “dangerous” ideas, every day we’ll be releasing the audio and video to prove, in his own words, who Masters really is – and that he’s a risk Arizonans can’t afford.  

Today’s moment, where he calls to “cut the knot” and privatize Social Security:

Masters: “We’ve got to cut the knot at some point, though, because I’ll tell you what, I’m not going to receive Social Security, all right? I’m a millennial, a little bit younger than my competitors here. I think that’s a good thing by the way. I think the Senate could use a dose of energy. But my kids, they’re not going to receive Social Security. And we need fresh and innovative thinking. Right. Maybe we should privatize Social Security. Right. Private retirement accounts, get the government out of it past a certain point because the government is just too big,” (At the FreedomWorks Debate, 6/23/22).
