The Trump administration's proposal to ban the use of food stamps for junk food sparked a surprising backlash from conservative influencers, who took to social media to oppose the move, despite its alignment with traditional conservative values.
  • Conservative influencers posted identical messages opposing the ban on using food stamps for junk food.
  • These influencers cited emotional responses, such as referencing Trump's Diet Coke habit, to sway public opinion.
  • The soda industry has a history of manipulating public opinion through paid promotions.
  • The influencers' position contradicted their previous statements and conservative principles.
  • Critics argue that food stamps should not be used to purchase unhealthy products with no nutritional value.

Shownotes Transcript

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the Trump administration wants to ban people from using food stamps on junk food. This is, obviously, the correct position. And yet, a bunch of conservative influencers mysteriously and suddenly came out against it over the weekend. This is a bizarre story — we’ll discuss. Also, “Snow White” predictably bombs at the box office. RFK Jr. wants to ban cell phones from schools. The only question is: why isn’t that already the policy in every school in the country? And more and more people on the left are claiming that the 2024 election was stolen. What evidence do they have to support that claim? Well, none at all.
