Dallas GOP county judge candidate Natinsky ripped for 'food stamp' remark

Republican Ron Natinsky says the Dallas GOP will be better off if residents in a southern Dallas congressional district “spend their food stamp money” on Election Day instead of voting.

Natinsky, a candidate for Dallas County judge, made the remark last November during a meeting of the Coppell Republican Club. A video of his appearance was on the club’s website for months but was taken down Tuesday once a report about it appeared on dallasnews.com.

“We don’t want to motivate her voters,” Natinsky said of Democratic Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson in the appearance. “What we want them to think is: ‘There’s no reason. She doesn’t have an opponent. I don’t need to go to the polls. I’ll go spend my food stamp money at the grocery store, or whatever, you know, on Election Day.’”

Natinsky said Tuesday that he doesn’t remember the speech or the comment about food stamps.

they know or see someone spending food stamp money they should be thinking, "geez if it wasn't for GOP policies, I would be making a living wage" or "geez if it wasn't for GOP policies, there wouldn't be many people on food stamps."
