The notion that there is a crisis of child hunger in America is among the many myths that liberals like to propagate to justify ever-more government. Interviewed in London yesterday, Nancy Pelosi cited an oft-used false statistic on the subject.
On Tuesday, MSNBC's Morning Joe played that clip with delight. Mika Brzezinski announced at a commercial break they would play Pelosi "taking on the myth of AOC." Was she taking on myths, or spreading myths? Pelosi said Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won in a "safe" district, and the Democrats need to win swing districts:
PELOSI: When we won this election, it wasn't in districts like mine or Alexandria'sand she's a wonderful member of Congress, I think all of our colleagues will attest. But those are districts that are solidly Democratic. This glass of water would win with a "D" next to its name. But the 43 districts--we won 43, net gain of 40--were right down the middle. Mainstream, hold-the-center, victories. And if we're going to be helping the one of five children in America goes to sleep hungry at night, who lives in poverty in our country, we have to win."

You can tell which ones go to sleep hungry. They are the obese ones.
Oh, and Democrats lie.
Yeah, but what’s more of an emergency is that 1 in 2 adults goes to sleep stupid.
Then let’s bring in more, get those numbers up. /s
“...’1 in 5 Children in America Goes to Sleep Hungry’...”
likely because they weren’t allowed their 6th bag of Cheesy Doodles!
Exactamundo
If 20% of kids go hungry then how can we have the fattest kids in human history?

Would like to hear which cities have the highest childhood hunger numbers. Guaranteed, they are districts/cities/inner city hellholes that are and have been controlled for years by democrats.
The mobidly obese are always hungry.
If any child in this country goes to bed hungry it is because their parents are spending the vast majority of income/assistance on drugs, alcohol, cigs, and or frivolities.....PERIOD!
Welfare recipients take out cash at strip clubs, liquor stores and X-rated shops...
and their parents suffer from diseases of obesity!
The bottom line is that welfare has become so destructive, parents cant even care for their kids with massive government intervention
Hungry for the truth - the rest have been hopelessly indoctrinated.
Yes, I agree.
That’s because they are dieting to rid themselves of their obesity.
Sometimes I go to bed hungry because 10:00 PM is too late to eat cake.
In my search for statistics, I found that in November of 2011, the statistic for childhood hunger was the identical number of.........1 in 5.
So Obama had five years to stop childhood hunger. During the same period of time, Michelle was fighting against childhood obesity. Can not make this up.
LOL!
