Republican congressman thanks Hannity for previously smearing SNAP recipients as lazy

Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX): “You did a great job of highlighting some of the abuses before, when you had your surfer on who loved to surf, didn't want to work, but liked getting food stamps”

From the April 26 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show:

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Look, I love solutions. I love innovative ideas, I love when government is run more efficiently, so tell us what's going on here.



REP. MIKE CONAWAY (R-TX): Sean, we are trying to not forget those men and women who have yet to be helped by this growing economy, and we want to get them into that -- on that ladder of success, SNAP reforms that we're talking about just make a lot of sense.



You did a great job of highlighting some of the abuses before, when you had your surfer on who loved to surf, didn't want to work, but liked getting food stamps. So, thank you, for that, highlighting that.



HANNITY: I remember.
