Fox News guest Star Parker is applauding Trump administration requirements that make it harder for some Americans to use food stamps. On “Fox & Friends” Parker accused people on food stamps of being too busy “watching porn” to go out and get a job.
“These guys are not working, they’re watching,” Parker said. “They’re watching porn, they’re watching women, they’re watching TV, they’re watching everything, but they’re not working,” she claimed. That’s mostly false, according to US News & World Report.
Parker, a far right wing pundit who espouses anti-LGBTQ and pro-white racist positions on Wednesday lamented that under President Barack Obama the stigma of public assistance programs was eliminated. She claims embarrassing people who need to use welfare programs is helpful.
She also claimed that the federal government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program use of a debit-type card instead of “food stamps,” as the program is still often called, turns welfare programs from short-term assistance into a “generational” tool.
Parker touted the strong economy, which includes a low unemployment rate, which makes it harder for those without a job to find one.
