AOC Called Out for Trying to Claim Her Family May Have Starved Under Administration's New Food Stamp Rules
Leah Barkoukis

Posted: Dec 06, 2019 8:10 AM

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) criticized the Trump administration’s new rules tightening requirements for food stamps, claiming she and her family may have starved had they been in place when her father died.

“My family relied on food stamps (EBT) when my dad died at 48. I was a student. If this happened then, we might’ve just starved,” she wrote on Twitter. “Now, many people will. It’s shameful how the GOP works overtime to create freebies for the rich while dissolving lifelines of those who need it most.”

Ocasio-Cortez was responding to a breaking news tweet from NBC that said work requirements for food stamp recipients had been finalized, which would cause hundreds of thousands of people to lose access.

From the linked article:

The rule applies to able-bodied adults between the ages of 18 and 49 who do not have dependents.

The rule wouldn’t apply to parents with minor children, the elderly, or disabled people.

AOC either spoke in ignorance or lied - she has considerable practice in both.

Why not do what other people do?  Work for a paycheck.  Oh wait, you were working for a paycheck, interning for Ted Kennedy.  Yet you applied for food stamps at the same time?  Isn't that fraud?

Adam Schiff And AOC Take On Food Stamp Rule, Get It Wrong

Quote
Did someone send out a list of talking points for Democrats to use when attacking the Trump administration’s new food stamps rule without first reading the rule? I’m not sure how else to explain what happened yesterday. Within the span of two hours Thursday both Adam Schiff and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez published similar criticisms of the new rule. Here’s Schiff’s take:

Talking points busted? Or just Parallel Politician Stupidity?

What were we ever doing giving SNAP to able bodied adults without dependents anyway?   Shut up AOC.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Talking points busted based upon politician stupidity.  Democrats couldn't order breakfast without someone instructing them on what to say.
