Rep. Crockett: Cutting SNAP and Healthcare? That's Not Policy, That's Cruelty - Rep. Jasmine Crockett



On the House floor, Rep. Jasmine Crockett calls out Republican cruelty and hypocrisy in their proposed SNAP and healthcare cuts. Speaking on behalf of a 28-year-old single mother of five from her district, Crockett highlights the real human cost behind the GOP’s so-called “fiscal responsibility.”

From slashing food assistance to gutting healthcare access for millions, Crockett makes it plain: “The only thing lazy about this bill is their lies.” She urges Congress to reject cruelty disguised as policy—and to stand with working families, not political theater. - 05/23/2025.
