14 GOP-led states have turned down federal money to feed low-income kids in the summer. Here's why

Turning down food for children based completely on politics. This is the GOP Party and how they operate.

Oh but Dems lied about Trump! Oh Russia, Russia, Russia. The kind of response you will see that has nothing to with Kids needing food to eat, that the GOP turns down the Federal money for.

Nebraska Gov. after increase pressure finally comes around, should have never been a question when it comes to the children.

The rejections have drawn backlash.
In Nebraska, Republican Gov. Jim Pillen sparked a firestorm of criticism when he justified rejecting the money by explaining, “I don’t believe in welfare." But he reversed course on Monday and said the state would join the program after a Democratic lawmaker introduced a bill to require participation. He said he was swayed by hearing stories about hunger from high school students.

The remaining holdouts are Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont and Wyoming.

How dumb is this statement from Gov. Kim Reynolds? What about the ones that have nothing to eat?

In Iowa's rejection, Gov. Kim Reynolds said it was not a long-term solution.
"An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic,” the Republican said in a statement.
