"But, still it's become a political football, Mr. Speaker. It's one where it's who's responsible for canceling SNAP Benefits with the government shutdown, Cain said. Now, you and I both know what the facts are, that you've passed a clean continuing resolution. Democrats have yet to vote for that, not enough of them to vote in the Senate. And still, according to an NBC poll, 52% of Americans are blaming congressional Republicans and/or Donald Trump, as opposed to 42% blaming Democrats."
"It's the most staggering level of gaslighting we have ever seen in American politics. Literally, the Democrats have voted 14 times to close the government down, where Republicans have voted 14 times to open it. And right after they cast the votes, Will, they go out and find the nearest television camera they can, they look right into the lens and they say, it's the Republicans fault. I mean, it's just madness."
A spotlight has been placed on the SNAP food benefit program, which is described as not living up to expectations and has become a political football over benefit cancellations during the government shutdown. Republicans passed a clean continuing resolution while Democrats have not produced enough Senate votes to approve it. An NBC poll shows 52% of Americans blame congressional Republicans and/or Donald Trump for the shutdown, while 42% blame Democrats. Claims assert the media parrots Democratic talking points and that Democrats voted 14 times to close the government while Republicans voted 14 times to open it.
