And I think that's particularly true in health care and food assistance, because The Republicans in D.C. are trying to raise premiums on some Americans that will end up raising premiums on all of us. Right now, they're cutting food assistance for hungry kids and working parents, and that's going to end up raising grocery prices for all of us. And so they may think that they're just attacking some Americans, but in fact, they're attacking all Americans. I want to focus on the religious aspect because I agree have a very Christian background. (01:44–01:53)

CLAIM

Claims that current cuts to food assistance will lead to increased grocery prices for everyone.
