Talking Points Memo then reached out to CNN, which confirmed that an incident had taken
place in a statement it later sent to The Huffington Post.
What did they confirm?
Is this a strange occurrence – Nope!
Mary Franson – GOP MN (and possibly ALEC) this past legislative
session
State Rep. Mary Franson has
apologized and removed a YouTube video that compared Minnesota’s food stamp
program to “feed(ing) the animals.”
It started Friday, when Franson,
a first-term Republican from Alexandria, posted a week-in-review video on
YouTube. She ran through the news about the new state budget forcast and ended
with a plea to end child sexual abuse. In between, at about the two-minute
mark, she turned to the welfare reform.
“I'll read you this little funny
clip that we got from a friend. It says, 'Isn't it ironic that the food stamp
program, part of the Department of Agriculture, is pleased to be distributing
the greatest amount of food stamps, ever.
Meanwhile, the Park Service, also
part of the Department of Agriculture, asks us to please not feed the animals, because the animals may grow dependent
and not learn to take care of themselves."
Food stamps= Feeding wild animals: Rep. Mary Franson
Legislative Update
Must be hell for those Repugs -
Living with all "us animals".
