Mark Warner claims 100,000 Virginians lost SNAP benefits
Senator Mark Warner has stated that 100,000 residents in Virginia have been removed from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) due to the effects of the Republican-led “Big Ugly Bill.” Warner expressed that these changes represent real consequences for families attempting to afford food.
The claim has drawn significant criticism on social media. Commentators have questioned whether the figure includes legal citizens or undocumented immigrants, noting that recent legislative changes include work or volunteer requirements for able-bodied recipients and restrictions regarding non-citizens.
