Mike Johnson tells food stamp recipients to come 'home' to Republican Party

“I’ll say this clearly to every hard-working American, in any place who’s missed a paycheck, anyone who has been made to suffer because the services, the health services you rely upon, or the food and nutrition supplement for your family. Anyone who is hurting: You have a home in the Republican Party.”

“You have people here who are elected by their constituents to come and do their job, and they do it. They’re voting to support you, to make these programs available. To ensure that the people in need have them. And the Democrats, by stark contrast, are doing the exact opposite.”

his fascist dictator wannabe wrecking the WH is, and all of his lying compadres like Steve Scalese... are full of SHIT.

Most food stamp recipients were already "home"... voting for Republican bstrds who never gave a damn about them, except to the extent they could bamboozle em enough by selling HATE.

Newsflash, MAGA. They don't care about YOU EITHER. What a surprise!

These Red states have plenty of MAGAs on various kinds of public assistance. Perhaps they will see how well this worked out for them.

No more elections to win.

Not all GOP voters are racists. Some are just straight up idiots.

This sort of bullshit, plus a big dollop of racism, is how Republicans have gotten poor and working class folks to vote for them over the years.

spends most of its time working on ways to punish people who aren't wealthy.

I'm still confused as to why anyone who isn't a millionaire votes for that party .They don't advocate for anyone but the wealthy and eventually, the millionaires are going to figure out that they aren't rich enough to matter anymore.
