Wait, did she just say some kids are too fat so they don’t want to feed any of them?
That's how I read it too. I really hope not, but I'm also assuming this is a republican so probably.
They literally believe that the gubmint is feeding poor children so much they’ve become obese.
Gah, i feel dirty when i see things from their pov.
That's the charitable interpretation! The other way of reading it is that in reality some children are obese while others go hungry, but they can't be bothered to give a shit which are which.
Republicans not giving a shit about children. Quelle surprise.
Nothing they say is about children. Regardless of the topic, anything they say can be translated to “this isn’t making the rich richer, perhaps it’s even making the rich less rich, and therefore I will vote against it”
bingo
obesity is also a result of malnutrition.
For $40/mth no less.
Upvote for the use of 'gubmit'. Hadn't seen before. Very funny.
Republicans wanna keep kids nice and fit for Matt Gaetz and the other diddlers in their party.
They should sell it to Republicans in the state as a way to keep their employees fed without having to spend any more money.
Employees in this case, being the children in case nobody got that
