h/t Wolfe Reports and Jamie Sanderson for this shocker:
Greenville -- Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer drew a comparison to "feeding stray animals" during a speech Friday about people on government assistance, "babies having babies," and parents whose children are on free and reduced-price lunch.
Bauer, who is running for the Republican nomination for governor, made his remarks during a town hall meeting in Fountain Inn that included state lawmakers and about 115 residents.
"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply.
"They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better," Bauer said.
Predictably, FITSNews is all over the Bauer message,
he just doesn't think Bauer sells rich white people rights effectively enough.
Bauer never said anything about taking food from children, nor did he compare the needy to stray animals. He simply said welfare benefits should be taken away from lazy recipients who won't even lift a finger to help themselves or their children. And the American taxpayers agree with him.
