A local congressman has been accused of avoiding a question from a reporter. Rep. Rob Wittman, who is running for reelection, was asked about potential cuts to Social Security.

The question specifically mentioned "Mike Johnson's secret plan" to cut the program. Instead of responding, Wittman apparently faked a phone call to avoid answering. Further details about the incident are available from LGBTQ Nation, including the duration of the fake call and the context of the question.
