Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) argued that ordinary people on food stamps shouldn't be able to afford "top of the line foods."

During a segment on Newsmax this week, host Rob Schmitt recalled that the Supreme Court had banned race-based college admissions.

"And now extrapolate that out to all of society when we do this everywhere," he said. "We're ending all kinds of discrimination and the toxicity that it brings. It's the end of pretending that this is a racist country as well."

1. Not surprising: This guy was a bigot and nut when he was a Wisconsin state rep

Moreover, it's a radical stereotype that only African Americans need food stamps. I wonder how many of his white constituents are currently on food stamps?

2. I would like to see this racist old turd

trade places with a food stamp recipient trying to feed a family for a month. Then let’s see how luxurious he thinks their lives are.

3. He'll suggest all apartment dwellers grow a garden

to eat fine, healthy, well-balanced meals for only $2.50; his idiocy requires him to pretend food stamps are a gateway drug to fraud and abuse and that our nation will impoverished by cousin Edna buying ice cream rather than gruel.

4. So what are white people on food stamps giving up...

6. Define "top of the line" food.

Fresh produce, meats, fish, breads, eggs and dairy is apparently top of the line food.
Sooo - people on food stamps should be happy with food pantry/donation quality canned/box food and pre-packaged "meals", close to expiration foods and dairy or freezer case produce and meats?

8. This crap makes my blood boil.

Hate and ignorance on full display.

"We're ending all kinds of discrimination...""

Yeah, no. You want black and poor children to feel less-than, inferior and not as "good" as the children of their "betters" whose parents can afford to buy them treats.

You want to take candy and treats away from kids of people you hate. You hate the kids too, you POS with your ugly soul.

9. The end of pretending this is a racist country?

No, sir, I believe this is the ending of pretending it isn’t a racist country.
We seem to be knocking down every false image, curtain, and wall we built over the last 25O years to hide our racism. I haven’t got a clue how this ends.

I’m 8O. I saw the beginnings of this revolution. I I don’t expect to see the end, but I pray and hope that that it really does arc towards justice.
