Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins boasted Tuesday that more than 4 million Americans had lost food stamps benefits in a crackdown on “fraud” – but federal data indicates participation dropped after the administration made funding cuts to the program and implemented work requirements.
“As of just a couple of days ago, we now have moved 4.3 million Americans off of the food stamp program,” Rollins told Fox Business. “A lot of that is fraud, a lot is people taking the program that shouldn’t have been.”
