SNAP beneficiaries threaten to ransack stores over government shutdown
Fox News ^ | 10/31/25 | Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi

SNAP beneficiaries have expressed outrage on social media over the government shutdown that could affect their grocery benefits starting next month, and some are even threatening to ransack stores if food stamp payments don’t go through starting Nov. 1.

"It is the taxpayer’s responsibility to take care of my kids," one emotional mother said in a video posted online. "It is the taxpayer's job to pay for my kids to eat and for my kids to be taken care of."

The same woman also complained about how none of her TikTok followers had sent her money, warning she would block anyone who viewed her videos without sending cash.

"Because of the government shutdown, now I can’t get my SNAPs for next month," another user shared on social media.

The user went on to ask how she was supposed to feed her seven children.

"I have seven different baby daddies and none of ‘em no good for me," she said.

Fox News contributor Brett Cooper discussed the woman’s comments on her YouTube channel, calling the video "insane" before commenting, "That is [her] responsibility… It is not [the] American taxpayers fault that you have seven baby daddies who will not step up and help you pay the grocery bills."

Amir Odom, another conservative commentator, shared his thoughts on the controversy.

"We've got the people that genuinely rely and need this program that are actually using it for a hand up and to stay afloat. Then you, on the other side, you got people treating it like a side hustle, selling the stamps, [and] abusing the system," he shared.

"This whole shutdown has really started to expose both of those sides."

Quite a while, if the mainstream media and the race baiters blame everything on Trump.

“It is the taxpayer’s job to pay for my kids to eat and for my kids to be taken care of.”

What a disgrace.

Her children will also be worthless.

Pretty sure that the globalist pedophile cult wants a civil war. They have lost the narrative and the only way they can get it back is mass chaos.

A lot of these posts are Tiktok rage posters trying to stir the simple minded to act out

LBJ’s Great Society destroyed the black family unit.

But the free-trade Republicans deserve a share of the blame, too. When I graduated high school many decades ago, I had my choice of good factory jobs. The was no need to go on welfare. The work was there.

Those jobs are all gone now. They’re in China, Mexico, etc.
🙁

The only people that should qualify for SNAP assistant should be those with a BMI less than 25.0. Underweight is 18.4 or less. Obese is 30.0 and above.

Feeding families the typical SNAP diet is being an accessory to murder. Sugar sodas, boxed pre-packaged high fat foods, sugary creals and snacks.

They can pay their Internet and smart phone bills but they can’t afford to eat.

mazingly honest:

SNAP beneficiaries have expressed outrage on social media over the government shutdown that could affect their grocery benefits starting next month, and some are even threatening to ransack stores if food stamp payments don’t go through starting Nov. 1.

“It is the taxpayer’s responsibility to take care of my kids,” one emotional mother said in a video posted online. “It is the taxpayer’s job to pay for my kids to eat and for my kids to be taken care of.”

“I have seven different baby daddies...”

There’s a four-letter word (actually several of them) that describe this ████.

I agree. The only food items that should be covered under SNAP are healthy things like fruits, vegetables, rice, legumes like beans and lentils, whole grains, meats and dairy.

The grocery stores should only be available to Instacart orders to avoid vandalism.

“They can pay their Internet and smart phone bills “

Is that not covered with the Obamafoam program?
