WATCH: USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins TORCHES Rep. Angie Craig During Explosive SNAP Hearing
Brooke Rollins: Your state is saying we only have a 1.6% fraud rate, which we all know is an absolute joke.
Rep. Angie Craig: I’ll say it again. The USDA’s own data found 1.6%.
Brooke Rollins: No, no. We were relying on your data from Minnesota. You won’t share it with us.
Rep. Angie Craig: I don’t know. I don’t think I understand the difference between error rates and fraud rates. I honestly don’t. It is one of the lowest programs—the lowest fraud rate in any program in America is the SNAP program.
Brooke Rollins: The lowest fraud rate of any program in America is the SNAP program? You can’t be serious when you say that.
Rep. Angie Craig: Oh, your own data says 1.6%.
Brooke Rollins: Again, that’s because your state told us that number, and you won’t allow us to confirm it.
Rep. Angie Craig: I’m reclaiming my time once more… You’ve bragged on TV that it’s a great thing that you kicked 4 million people off SNAP.
Brooke Rollins: The ability to work—the righteousness of work—is not—
Rep. Angie Craig: Reclaiming my time.
Rep. Angie Craig: Madam Secretary, I’m asking you these questions because these issues and this committee—it’s all personal.
Brooke Rollins: You’re not asking questions for an answer. You’re asking questions to make a political statement.
Rep. Angie Craig: Reclaiming my time again.
