Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

That’s easy, the great Republican Teddy Roosevelt refuted you in 1918:
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Johnson: “They're going to descend on our capital for their much-anticipated so-called ‘No Kings’ rally. We refer to it by its more accurate description: 'The Hate America' rally. I'm not sure how anybody can refute that."

Democrats should really be pushing this message. Or, find any law that the GOP doesn’t like and say it’s like Dems sending In the military to arrest individuals there that are violating that law.
Gov. Jared Polis: "If you're a Republican, imagine it was President Biden sending troops into your Republican states to enforce DEI...Imagine for a moment how you would feel. That's how Democratic governors feel with federal troops invading their own cities."

This is the correct answer.
Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"
