Vice President JD Vance<\/a>\u2019s office hit back Monday at Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who used a Philadelphia press conference to criticize Vance while outlining the state\u2019s contingency plan to keep SNAP (food stamp) benefits flowing during the government shutdown.<\/p>\n

Shapiro had joined 24 states to successfully sue the USDA over November\u2019s SNAP benefit suspension. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania itself was not a plaintiff, as Republican Attorney General David Sunday was not involved.<\/p>\n

Shapiro referenced Vance\u2019s “Hillbilly Elegy” and the Ohioan\u2019s strong bonds with his elders in Breathitt County, Kentucky \u2013 the heart of Appalachia \u2013 as he lit into what he described as the vice president\u2019s “bull—- politics” that belie his Appalachian roots.<\/p>\n

“America has a president and a vice president that don’t give a damn about all Americans,” he added.<\/p>\n

SCHUMER, DEMS CALL ‘BULL—-‘ ON TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OVER FOOD STAMP SHUTDOWN THREAT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Vance press secretary Taylor Van Kirk responded in comments to Fox News Digital on Monday, saying the governor should “take a look in the mirror if he wants to see who is to blame for this Democrat shutdown<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

She said Shapiro and Democrats supported “Schumer\u2019s shutdown” and in doing so “screwed over working-class men and women.”<\/p>\n

“While little Josh was whining like a child about the problems his own party created, the Trump administration has been crafting a deal<\/a> with commonsense Democrats to reopen the government and fund SNAP benefits,” Van Kirk added.<\/p>\n

YOUNGKIN DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY OVER \u2018DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN\u2019 DEPLETING SNAP BENEFITS FOR 850K VIRGINIANS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Shapiro had joined his fellow Montgomery County Democrat Val Arkoosh to discuss the SNAP freeze\u2019s effects<\/a> and what he and Arkoosh \u2013 the state\u2019s human services chief — were doing to help affected families.<\/p>\n

When a reporter told Shapiro that Vance criticized the court order demanding the release of SNAP funds<\/a>, the governor said that he would expect President Donald Trump<\/a> to do so but that Vance\u2019s history wouldn\u2019t presage the same response.<\/p>\n

“JD Vance is a total phony\u2026 [he] rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there’s a whole lot of people who get SNAP,” Shapiro said.<\/p>\n

VANCE BLAMES SCHUMER’S FEAR OF AOC PRIMARY CHALLENGE AS SHUTDOWN CAUSE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), led by permanent co-chair Gayle Manchin and 2025 co-chair Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland, considers 423 counties from Alabama to New York part of Appalachia, including three-quarters of Pennsylvania<\/a>. ARC reported 1.4 million families in its region are on SNAP, including 14% of families in Appalachian Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

“[Vance] made millions of dollars on the backs of telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people who he likes to write about and claim as his own,” Shapiro said.<\/p>\n

He added that Vance professes to be a person of faith, and cited a passage from the book of Deuteronomy that says people should respond to those in need with an open hand.<\/p>\n

IN A SNAP, TRUMP BLAMED FOR BLOCKING FOOD ASSISTANCE TO LOW-INCOME FAMILIES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“So for JD Vance now to turn around after claiming all these things his whole life and literally go to court to stop hungry people from eating<\/a>, that is not only phony, it\u2019s shameful.”<\/p>\n

“You\u2019ll excuse me for getting emotional about it, but when I see hungry people in my state who are hungry because of JD Vance’s bull—- politics, that makes me angry. And that’s why I went to court.”<\/p>\n

At the presser, Shapiro explained that Arkoosh\u2019s office was able to fund SNAP through a state disaster declaration and directing millions of dollars to food banks through the Feeding Pennsylvania program.<\/p>\n

“Republicans in Congress<\/a> must work across the aisle to quickly reopen the government and protect food assistance and access to health care for the millions of people in Pennsylvania and around the country still at risk because of this continued inaction,” Arkoosh said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The war of words could preview a potential 2028 matchup<\/a> as both Vance and Shapiro are considered top potential contenders for their parties\u2019 presidential nominations next cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
