Every single republican Senator who voted for John Thone for Senate minority leader needs to be primaried and replaced.
Even if we have to replace every damn one of them.
Food stamp advocate SELF-DESTRUCTS as Rep. Brandon Gill presses her on why taxpayers pay for Coca-Cola.
She tries to dodge the question. Then Gill pulls out the receipts, and she sits there in stunned silence.
GILL: “Should SNAP dollars be spent on sodas?”
WITNESS: “I am happy to talk about hunger and nutrition, but not dictate what Americans should or should not eat or may have access to.”
GILL: “I’m asking if tax dollars should be used to pay for sodas.”
“Do they need sugary sodas to survive?”
WITNESS: “Some of them do…”
GILL: “You think they need Coca-Cola to survive?”
“I’m giving you the opportunity to say yes or no.”
WITNESS: “I will not answer for individuals and their… choices.”
GILL: “What does SNAP stand for?”
WITNESS: “It’s a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.”
GILL: “What’s nutritional about Coca-Cola?”
WITNESS: “I am not a nutritionist.”
Then Gill asks who’s paying her, and she freezes like a deer in headlights.
GILL: “Is your organization funded by organizations that make money from food stamps?”
[awkward silence]
GILL: “Do organizations who profit off of food stamps fund your organization or businesses?”
WITNESS: “I mean, in the, in the, I, I can’t comment to that.”
GILL: “Does General Mills fund your organization?”
WITNESS: “I don’t have access to that information.”
GILL: “I do. It’s right here. They do fund your organization. […] Yes, and they’re profiting off of your advocacy. Do you think that that’s a conflict of interest?”
[more silence]
GILL: “I think most people think that’s a conflict of interest. I know you don’t want to answer.”
Always follow the money.
CONTEXT: USDA’s own study found soft drinks were the #1 purchase in SNAP households, beating milk, ground beef, and everything else in the store.
I’m seriously done with the GOP.
You will not get any more of my support.
You will not get any donations.
The Old Guard will be destroyed.
You can count on this.
I'm done. SCREW YOU, John Thune. And shame on every Republican who decided to keep him in power and make him the GOP Senate leader again.
What exactly is he leading? He led us into one of the biggest losses. Seven seats gone, the Senate gone.
John, you betrayed us. You betrayed every Republican voter. You betrayed President Donald Trump. You betrayed us by not passing the SAVE Act.
He disgusts me. Im so close to being done with the Republican Party for good.
I’m Disgusted
I can’t even believe this clown was re-elected. By secret ballot. The carnage continues in America by Communists in disguise starting with Chief RINO Thune the Traitor…
