From the Daily Caller: Democrats invited a morbidly obese woman to defend food stamps in Congress Wednesday, and viewers on X were quick to point out the irony of the situation.
Felicia, a single mother of four, said she has relied on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) since her oldest child was born, in a video posted by Democratic Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
“When I had my oldest daughter 21 years ago, I was working three jobs,” she tearfully told lawmakers. “One job alone I had to pay childcare, another one to pay food, which wasn’t enough. And one to pay the bills, and I still struggled alive.”
“If it wasn’t for SNAP benefits, I wouldn’t be able to feed my children or myself,” Felicia sobs during her testimony to Congress. “Like every other mom, I want to be sure I have enough food to put on the table,” she adds.
“Today, we heard from Felecia, a single mom of four who works up to three jobs at a time to make ends meet. She counts on SNAP to help put food on the table. This is who Republicans in Congress are trying to take food away from,” Klobuchar wrote, sharing a video of Felicia’s tearful remarks.

The video is being hit with widespread mockery.
“This has to be satire. Right? Right?!?” asked prominent X user ‘End Wokeness.’
“She doesn’t need SNAP, she needs a treadmill,” quipped Gunther Eagleman.
One X user wrote, “Not to be mean, but to be honest and accurate, she’s morbidly obese and could subsist on her fat stores alone for a year. What you’re asking for, is for taxpayers to subsidize her early death. Find better spokespeople for your cause.”
Amy Nixon declared, “You are asking tax payers to pay for someone to have 4 children without a partner after she states in this video she already couldn’t afford to feed the first child. Now, two of those kids are 21 and 17–they can work and contribute to the family bills now.”
“I know where her SNAP has been going. And it wasn’t to her kids,” declared Buzz Patterson.

“It would appear she has received more than her fair share of food stamps,” X user ‘Beth True’ wrote.
Gretchen Smith wrote, “Obesity is a crisis in America. I say eliminate the welfare program and make these people go to work and earn their way.”
“We need a point system for SNAP, where an apple is like 1 point and a candy bar is like 50. The big food companies lobby to push people towards the processed crap with high margins,” another person suggested.
