Speaking at a town hall event in Florida earlier this month, Republican Rep. Ted Yoho went on the war path on a variety of topics from same-sex marriage to birtherism to Obamacare. On each topic, Yoho toed the extreme conservative line. But the topic Yoho really made waves on was food stamps.

According to Right Wing Watch,

Yoho said he doubted that around 50 million Americans face food insecurity, joking: “I think there’s 330 million people starving, at least three times a day, we call it breakfast, lunch and dinner.” He added that huge proposed cuts to food aid won’t impact anyone, telling the audience that “not one person would lose a calorie or crumb that deserves it.

Yoho revealed that his family had used food stamps for about two months, but claimed that the cuts are necessary because it has become a “lifestyle” and that it is too easy to “qualify for the program.”
