Dusty Johnson's Address on Work Requirements in Welfare Legislation

Published | Video Starts at 01:32

That is in the evidentiary record. The gentlewoman from Connecticut said that this bill takes food from our most vulnerable. Let me be clear again because there has been so much misinformation. If you are a pregnant woman, your benefits are unaffected. If you have young children at home, your benefits are unaffected by this bill. If you are disabled, your benefits are unaffected by this bill. Ladies and gentlemen, we know that we should focus our resources on the neediest Americans. That is what this bill does. The gentlewoman from Ohio had said that this bill is ungodly. (01:32–01:48)

CLAIM

Asserts that the bill does not affect benefits for pregnant women, those with young children, or disabled individuals.
