@RepMTG
objection to allowing poor parents to use WIC is that it makes it harder for affluent parents?
Did I hear that right?
Marjorie Taylor Greene blames WIC, an assistance program that helps poor moms buy baby formula, for contributing to the supply shortage: “The WIC program is making it more difficult for [parents not on WIC] to buy baby formula.”

I hate to be the MTG translator but I think what she’s saying is that technically there’s no limit on WIC purchases. I think she’s afraid poor people will corner the formula market. Still doesn’t make sense.

Nope you missed the nuance. WIC-Black parents. Affluent-white parents.

It's a reverse racism dog whistle. Like it's affirmative action for infants.

Want to guess which Congressional district in Georgia has the highest percentage of people living below the poverty line? Yep. Hers.
She just made clear that 14% of her constituents don't deserve help feeding their families...

Oh, it is worse. People who pay taxes are paying for poor people to get the same formula choices as us. It's welfare⁉️🤭
