Crowder challenged the narrative pushed by some Democrats who blamed President trump for the government shutdown and its impact on needy Americans relying on SNAP. Highlighting instances of fraud within the program-such as benefits going to dead people, one individual receiving SNAP in six states, and manny getting duplicate benefits-Crowder argued for ending all SNAP benefits.<\/p>\n<p>During the exchange with a young woman on campus, Crowder emphasized that taxpayers should have a say in how their money is spent and questioned why able-bodied people choosing not to work should receive benefits better than those earned by soldiers, who must even pay for their Meals Ready to Eat (MREs).Though the conversation was respectful, the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >young woman eventually acknowledged<\/a> some of his points, including the unfairness of providing luxury items like Halloween candy through SNAP.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion underscored the belief that welfare recipients should feel motivated to support themselves rather than live comfortably off taxpayer money. The segment exemplifies moments where individuals reassess their political views through dialog, highlighting Crowder&#8217;s ongoing efforts to influence opinions on campuses.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Comedian and conservative commentator Steven Crowder brought one of his famous &ldquo;Change My Mind&rdquo; segments to the University of Oklahoma.<\/p>\n<p>This time, the &ldquo;Louder with Crowder&rdquo; podcaster decided to go after SNAP benefits, one Democrats&rsquo; favorite means of attacking conservatives during the government shutdown.
