This is just a totally brain dead take. Maybe the SNAP recipient likes brown mustard and prioritizes it. And you don’t care that much so you don’t prioritize it. If it mattered to you, you would budget to get fancy mustard.
If you really do feel you can’t afford fancy mustard, you shouldn’t be mad at the person who earns food assistance and then uses it to buy fancy mustard, you should be mad that you aren’t making enough to afford fancy mustard.
It’s also like $4 to get a bottle of Gray Poupon, absolutely ridiculous to be trying to whip people into a frenzy over that to begin with.
This is not the first time Republicans threw an absolute shit fit over negligibly more expensive mustard...
Because in their minds, these people should be suffering more. Government food assistance should take the form of gruel, if it exists at all.
Edit: Oh I just realized what you were referencing lol
