Kristen McDonald Rivet: “For over a decade, there has been this fight on the Hill…”

“Let me tell you the story. So I'm sitting, I'm on the Agriculture Committee, which I really adore being on the Ag Committee. And we were debating snap. And For over a decade, there has been this fight on the Hill about whether or not people who receive SNAP benefits should be able to buy a hot rotisserie chicken on SNAP benefits. And you know, I would say I thought to speak on this in any way. And I'm sitting there and there's this whole debate back and forth about whether or not this is okay.” (11:42–11:52)
