Congressman Scalise notes Food Stamp benefits may end before Thanksgiving because Chuck Schumer and Democrats are so angry with President Trump as shutdown continues

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana says at a news conference on the 22nd day of a government shutdown that the USDA sent letters to states indicating insufficient funds existed to pay full November SNAP benefits for approximately 42 million individuals across America right before Thanksgiving, Chuck Schumer and Democrats opposed benefits because angry at President Trump, Democrats said no to 42 million families who would go without food to demonstrate fighting to their far left radical base, and this political maneuvering served radicals who held effigies on the mall.
