Multiple high-profile influencers associated with Make America Great Again (MAGA) have been accused of taking payments to oppose the Health and Human Services (HHS) initiative to remove soda from food stamps.
This debacle started Saturday when a thread on X from Nick Sortor appeared to show several influencers were accepting compensation for posts made pushing back against the federal government going after soda products being offered through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
“Over the past 48 hours, several large supposedly MAGA-aligned ‘influencers’ posted almost identical talking points fed to them, convincing you MAHA was out of line for not wanting soda purchases with food stamps (SNAP),” Sortor writes.
