USDA chief says ‘everyone’ will have to reapply for SNAP benefits after claiming rampant fraud

The head of the US Department of Agriculture said the Trump administration is planning to have “everyone” receiving SNAP benefits reapply after a probe into a number of Republican-led states allegedly found 186,000 cases of fraud.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins alleged that fraud was running rampant around the embattled Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), claiming “186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check” in 29 red states alone.

“Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data what we’re going to find?” she asked on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”

“It’s going to give us a platform and a trajectory to fundamentally rebuild this program, have everyone reapply for their benefit, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through SNAP or food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable, and they can’t survive without it,” Rollins added.

  1. They’ll call it racist for the same reasons that voter I.D. is.
    And, yes, they’ll need a valid I.D to reapply. Oh, the irony.
