“Thus ends today’s lesson in irony.”
The Oklahoma Republican Party apologized Tuesday for a post from the group's official Facebook account which compared poor people who receive food stamps to animals.
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest number of free Meals and Food Stamps ever, to 46 million people.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed The Animals." Their stated reason for the policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."
Thus ends today's lesson in irony #OKGOP
On Tuesday, the state Republican Party Chairman Randy Brogdon, the author of the post, apologized "to those who were offended."
