WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration said Tuesday that it will move to withhold SNAP food aid from recipients in most Democratic-controlled states starting next week unless they provide information about those receiving the assistance.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said at a Cabinet meeting Tuesday that the action is in the works because those states are refusing to provide data the department requested such as the names and immigration status of the aid recipients.

She said the cooperation is necessary in order to root out fraud in the program. Democratic states have sued to block the requirement.

About 42 million lower-income Americans, or 1 in 8, rely on SNAP to help buy groceries. The average monthly benefit is about $190 per person, or a little over $6 a day. The program is not normally in the political spotlight, but it has been this year.

That money needs to go to opulent child rape parties!

If those kids really wanted to eat, they'd be gobbling down buckets of Republican semen like White Jesus would want!

Remember that line from the Bible?

Leviticus 25:39

‘If a countryman of yours becomes so poor with regard to you that he sells himself to you, you shall not subject him to a slave’s service.

Thou shalt instead rapeth the wife and child of the poor man, with anger and contempt, for the least of us are not people, merely property. So sayeth White Jesus'
