SNAP beneficiaries threaten to ransack stores over government shutdown

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."

That’s the problem, it’s our job to take care of them. It should be their responsibility to take care of themselves. We don’t need more entitled welfare queens.

The Democrats are 100 percent responsible for this. We would be better off without a Democratic Party.

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

That’s what almost all these posts are. Ragebait. Rage generates clicks and clicks generate money. It is all performative.

SNAP benefits are not counted as income and states can’t charge sales tax on the food purchases.

Remember during 0bama’s reign of terror the crazy train was bringing millions in and he was pushing hard to get everyone on food stamps. Then 0bama 2.0 Uber Biden. The handlers knew there would be rebellion if anyone after them tried to cut off benefits. This is by design.

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.”

No, it’s your responsibility to feed your children and to not procreate any if you cannot afford to feed them.

In a righteous world, shop owners would be able to use deadly force to protect their property. A few shots fired would cure a lot of these lowlife thieves of their illness of thinking that they have a right to the fruit of another person’s labor.

Is this satire?

You’re thinking more proof is needed?
