Nurse In Alabama Under Fire For Disrespectful Remarks About SNAP Users

An Alabama nurse is encountering significant criticism for sharing a video that ridicules SNAP beneficiaries whose assistance is threatened as the government shutdown extends into record territory.The clip, uploaded to TikTok by the nurse known as @sassytnc, features her clad in nursing scrubs, feigning a distressful appeal. In the video, she mockingly states, “My baby has not eaten in two hours. That is why I am on my way to my second job tonight… not the U.S. taxpayers.” Holding her dog as her “baby,” she trivializes a serious issue.Her video sparked immediate outrage, particularly as it followed racist AI-generated content that went viral on TikTok. Many viewers voiced concerns regarding her suitability for public health roles, given her apparent disdain for vulnerable populations relying on aid. A surge of negative Google reviews aimed at Crenshaw Community Hospital ensued, denouncing her behavior. The hospital acknowledged the situation but has yet to confirm any internal investigation. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is navigating funding challenges for SNAP amidst the ongoing shutdown.
