"No more SNAP benefits for you until the Democrats let us take away your health care."
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson
He said it, but just not in those words. What he actually said:
"I haven't seen that. I don't know anything about that."
Or was that what he said about expiring Medicaid benefits? Or about the President hijacking the appropriation process? Or about not swearing in Adelita Grijalva? Or about the Epstein files? Or about Donald Trump's effectively abolishing the House of Representatives?
He did say that he "'deeply regrets' that millions of Americans will lose SNAP benefits," after working hard to pass the Big Ugly Budget Bill in July, which cut $186 billion from SNAP, and after not using his leadership position to release the $6 billion SNAP emergency fund.
So once again, a prominent Republican is either ignorant, or lying.
Could it be that we are seeing the resurgence of the Know-Nothing Party?
Nah. Still the Lying Liars that Lie Party.
