The GOP cut food stamps for veterans and the homeless, then ended hunger data so you could not see who they starved. That is not policy. It is calculated harm. #WhoVoted4This #GOPCruelty #GOPWarOnAmericans

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The amusing thing about this clip is the infrastructure bill was literally the first and only thing Nancy Mace brought up in terms of her accomplishments in Congress. Her biggest win for her district was legislation she voted against.
Nancy Mace: "In my time in Congress, I actually helped secure the largest infrastructure grant in state history, in South Carolina history. So I've worked very hard on the policies that matter to voters here."
