Congressman Van Orden's Address on Federal Benefits and SNAP Program

Published | Video Starts at 01:53

This should be a nonpartisan committee. They're lying. I'm over it. Stop it, 94. Here's to my Republican people. 94% of all tillable land in this country is represented by Republicans. And More people in rural areas use SNAP benefits than in urban areas. So when my friends over here are talking smack about these programs, they're wrong. Their job title is representative and they need to represent their people. (01:53–01:58)
