Trump appointee Robert W. Patterson must resign from the Social Security Administration
the Social Security Administration
Robert W. Patterson is Acting Associate Commissioner of the Social Security Administration.
He also has a history of promoting misogynistic, homophobic pseudoscience like claims that women “should shun birth control pills; and if they wanted to improve their mood, they should not insist that their men wear condoms lest they miss out on beneficial chemicals found in semen.” Patterson also has a history of peddling debunked and harmful claims that homosexuality is a mental disorder and sexual orientation can be forcibly changed.
Media Matters for America has published an extensive examination of his abhorrent public stances, and it’s clear he is unfit to serve in our Social Security Administration. In 2004, he wrote “Gay marriage, like all the liberal ideas of the 1970s--including no-fault divorce, abortion on demand, cohabitation, and daycare--does not and cannot serve the common good.”
Our federal government MUST fairly administer Social Security’s earned benefits. Robert W. Patterson cannot.

American workers earn their Social Security benefits with every paycheck. It is the responsibility of the federal government to competently and fairly administer those benefits. Donald Trump has made a mockery of that responsibility by appointing a horrific bigot, who seriously believes that condoms rob women of “remarkable chemicals” in semen, to a key leadership position at the Social Security Administration. Robert W. Patterson must resign immediately.
