A Fox News presenter has brought more controversy to the notoriously right-wing broadcaster by suggesting that poor families could benefit from having to rely on food stamps as it could help them diet.

Asked during The Five show if she could survive on food stamps – which provide an average food subsidy of $133 (£83) a month for hard-up families – Andrea Tantaros said: "I should try it because do you know how fabulous I'd look? I'd be so skinny. I mean, the camera adds 10 pounds, it really does."

The 33-year-old TV host offered no apology later, tweeting: "It's amazing how stupid & humorless some liberals can be." She also referred to government adverts which she claimed were "telling us food stamps wld make us LOOK GREAT."

Hey, Andrea. You're looking kind of fat these days. You should give the food stamp diet a try.

I was joking. You wingnuts have no sense of humor.

this is just an act for $ ..... say something over the top and then blame "the liberals"
for not having a sense of humor. I really doubt that she thinks this stuff in real
life but she knows this is her way to $$$$.

3. So, let me get this straight...

we are stupid and humorless because we're sensitive enough to take offense by conservatives' kick-them-when-they're-down mentality?

4. we have a sense of humor but most

Of us liberals don't think making fun of people who are on food stamps is funny or shows basic human deceny, which of course eludes right wing morons like this one.
