| Young Kim has found a new political strategy this week: Let the people go hungry.
Starting November 1st, federal food aid will stop going to the American people because Republicans refuse to use emergency funds set aside by Congress for food assistance – effectively cutting off all federal funding for SNAP benefits.
While 5,380,000 Californians are at risk of losing SNAP benefits that help them put food on their families’ tables because Republicans don’t want to spend the money – even though it’s available – Kim is refusing to get back to work.
REMINDER: Kim already voted for the largest cuts to SNAP in history earlier this year, gutting food assistance for nearly 15,000 households in her district and forcing Californians to pay more for their groceries. Now, she is doubling down on her cruelty and holding this key program hostage that feeds Californians and keeps food affordable.
Kim may be pointing fingers on social media and feigning concern that “families & neighbors in our community are at risk of losing the food assistance they count on,” but her actions prove she doesn’t care about actually helping Californians.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Young Kim is on vacation, and she refuses to lift a finger to help Californians who are struggling with the cost of groceries. Californians will remember Kim’s cruelty next November.” |
