GOP Senator’s ‘Real World’ Remark About People In Poverty Draws Backlash
"Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) faced backlash this week over comments he made about people living below the poverty line.
“People living in poverty are just not very, um, experienced at navigating the real world, right?” Husted told Nic Dunn, host of the conservative podcast “Defending Ideas,” while arguing that federal benefits can become a “trap” and a disincentive to work.
Husted claimed: “I remember talking to one young lady who said, ‘Well, I don’t really know how money works at a grocery store,’ because she grew up and has lived all of her adult life using SNAP cards to buy groceries. So, you literally have to teach people how to budget.”"
