Former CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and current U.S. Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, suggested on a podcast this past week that missing Social Security checks are no big deal. He went on to use his mother-in-law as an example.
Read below what this prick actually said:
“Let’s say Social Security didn’t send out their checks this month. My mother-in-law, who’s 94, wouldn’t call and complain… She just wouldn’t. She’d think something got messed up, and she’ll get it next month. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling, and complaining.”
So, in other words, people who frantically call Social Security to report their missing checks, according to Howard S**tnick, they must be fraudsters.
If anyone ever wanted to see an example of hubris, gumption and arrogance all wrapped into one, Mr S**tnick is the perfect example. He should resign as the Secretary of Commerce.. He is not in tune with the American people at all.
Being a billionaire does not make someone an _sshole. But, acting like an _sshole, does make them one.
By the way, this is the same man who just last week told Americans they should be buying Tesla’s crashing stock on Fox News.. You can see it on YouTube for yourselves. Did Howard S**tnick forget he’s Not the CEO of a Wall Street firm anymore? Did he forget that he’s the 41st Commerce Secretary of the United States?
Did he forget that 70 million people receive Social Security checks each month, earned through their professional blood and sweat over a lifetime? Did he forget that millions of those people rely solely on their Social Security income?
You would think Howard S**tnick would have learned compassion after his brother and all of his employees at Cantor Fitzgerald either burned to death or jumped to their deaths on 9/11.. But no, he did not learn a thing about compassion.
Howard Lutnick, is a top to bottom Prick.
