Summary

“AMAC members know that the Democrats and the deep state bureaucrats are really actively trying to cover up fraud,” says Rebecca Weber, CEO of the Association for Mature Americans. The Daily Signal’s Tyler O’Neil sat down with Rebecca Weber to discuss the older generation of American’s overwhelming support for DOGE and the Trump administration’s efforts to rid the federal government of fraud and waste. “While Democrats are going to claim that this is threatening seniors’ benefits, that’s simply not the case. It’s the entire opposite,” Weber explains. Fraud is the only way to prevent Social Security and Medicare from going bankrupt, Weber says. AMAC was founded in 2007 as an alternative to AARP, emphasizing its commitment to conservative values and smaller government. It represents Americans over age 50. Learn more about your ad choices.
