Congressman Amo calls kicking Americans off SNAP while tariffs and Iran war drive up groceries is morally wrong as benefits mean kids can focus at school instead of on empty stomachs

Rhode Island Congressman Gabe Amo says in House floor remarks that President Trump's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins had bragged about kicking Americans off SNAP at a time when Republican tariffs and the Iran war had driven up grocery prices, arguing SNAP meant kids in Woonsocket could focus at school, moms in Pawtucket could worry less about breakfast, veterans in Middletown had breathing room and seniors in Smithfield might not skip prescriptions to eat, calling it morally wrong to celebrate ripping away that bare minimum.
