"I begged my wife for the last two months to stop calling me flaccid. That kind of rhetoric needed to stop. I said to her in March--if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be a black eye. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anyone with a black eye. But I warned her."
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.
