Fox News guest tells Hannity: ‘Overfed’ non-whites use food stamps as a ‘fat pill’

Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes on Tuesday told Fox News host Sean Hannity not to demonize white people because it was the black Dominicans in New York who were abusing food stamps as a “fat pill.”

During a panel discussion, Hannity asked his guests to respond to a 29-year-old California surfer who had allegedly been using the food stamp program instead of getting a job.

“This guy doesn’t personify the problem,” McInnes opined. “You see a middle-class white surfer kid. Here in New York, Dominicans go to the grocery store with their food stamps and the barrels that they ship back to the Dominican Republic are available at the grocery store.”

Democratic activist Jehmu Greene pointed out that it was wrong to demonize the food assistance program and hungry children because of one surfer that Bill O’Reilly’s producer found in California.
