The rant came just hours before funding for SNAP benefits was set to lapse due to the government shutdown.


A MAGA congressman has gone on a finger-pointing rant aimed at food stamp recipients, accusing them of “smoking crack” ahead of a lapse in benefit funding. Rep. Clay Higgins, 64, hit out at Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) users, saying those without a month’s supply of food in their pantries didn’t deserve the help. His comments come less than 48 hours ahead of funds expiring for the food stamp program, on which 42 million Americans rely. Checks will stop on Saturday unless Democrats and Republicans can make a last-minute agreement to open the government after 31 days.
