Press Conference on Trump Admin's Cruel SNAP Cuts

Published | Video Starts at 32:08

The Republicans passed their one big ugly bill in July. And that bill hurts everyday Americans to reward their billionaire donors. And in that bill, they enacted the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. Hospitals, nursing homes and community based health centers are closing all across the country, including in Louisiana, because of what Mike Johnson and Republicans did in that one big ugly bill. And at the same time, they cut SNAP benefits by $186 billion. Donald Trump and Republicans literally ripped food from the mouths of hungry children, seniors, families and veterans in order to reward their billionaire donors. (32:08–32:21)
