Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called out House
Republicans who reportedly reversed their stance on President
Donald Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” after meetings that they left with signed MAGA swag.
Responding to
reports that several GOP holdouts flipped after the cozy chats with Trump,
the congresswoman posted to X, formerly Twitter, saying, “House Republicans: Voting for cuts to *every single American* on SNAP in exchange for some signed merch.”
“Voting to starve babies. The disabled. The poor,” Ocasio-Cortez added about parts of the bill that would
significantly shift financial responsibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program from the federal government to individual states.
Blasting the religious rhetoric some lawmakers used to defend the bill, she added, “And they have the audacity to try to brand this as Christian. What does that word even mean to them? Wearing a necklace?”
