Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins recently celebrated the removal of food stamps from 4.5 million Americans. During an interview with Newsmax host Rob Finnerty this week, Rollins seemed jubilant about her success in moving people off of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
"It's a supplemental program. It's only supposed to last for a little bit of time," she explained. "Every red state said, yes, we want to participate. We want to make sure we're doing right by our taxpayers.". According to Rollins, officials found "200,000 dead people" and "500,000 people getting more than one benefit" in red states. "The blue states sued us," she complained. "They won't share the data with us, even though we're funding those programs."
Finnerty pointed out that 41 million Americans relied on SNAP benefits to not go hungry. "Can you explain how these people are taking advantage of the program?" he asked.
"Under the Biden years, they increased the program by 40%," Rollins explained. "Of course, they were working to buy the election, but the billions and billions and billions of dollars that we have lost is just shocking." "Now, the good news, in just one year alone, we've already moved four and a half million people off of SNAP," she added.
