All of this incredibly obvious and infuriating welfare fraud happened under the first Trump administration and I don't recall them ever threatening to block funding to the state of Mississippi as a result.

“‘The only way I can have friends is to give them money. He’s got to keep getting this money,’" she recalled him saying.
