  1. So Bret Steals Money from Poor Folks.

    Trump's had Boxes of stolen Top secret documents.

    (( The Mission Impossible Noc List Next to a bucket of chicken 🤣))

    What do these two men have in Common?

    There White.
    There Rich.
    There Popular.
    They are not in jail.

    Smells like the definition of White Privilege to me. 😉

  2. Mississippi is a GOP state they will try to sweep this under the rug and get it unnoticed

  3. The media is the problem 🤣🤣

  4. 200 adults received welfare and this man is stealing over 1 million dollars?

  5. In the poorest state in the U.S. only 200 people are eligible for benefits? How is that even possible when obviously so many others could use some assistance.

  6. God old Mississippi! Doing what it knows best… moral depravity!

  7. I'm sorry but those text message don't prove that Favre knew that the money was coming from welfare funds. Why would they even tell him where the funds were coming from? I don't like that reporters are making that insinuation without proof.

  8. I hope Brett Favre and the x governor go to jail

  9. Ms. Wolfe is obviously very good at her job and very well spoken….Maybe NBC should do a little scouting.

  10. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California
    I went to Oxford, Mississippi, when i was 8 years old, talk about cultural shock!
    It was the 1st time I'd ever met my father's mother, my grandmother.. I remember the houses, actually shacks, out houses, of the people that lived on my grandmother's land. They were actually shacks, one room, out houses, they cooked outside. My grandmother didnt "approve" of my parents allowing me to play "with the "worker's children."
    I made a friend and she made my stay there, the best. I gave her all of my clothes, except a pair of pj's and three outfits for the long drive back to Los Angeles, across the segregated south.
    I have never returned to Oxford, my father went by himself, when "Nana" died.

  11. Reason why? most impoverished families are BLACK and white volleyball is more important in Mississippi

  12. Do yall realize how many struggling families get denied welfare cash assistance or they force them to go through so much red tape that most ppl just give up. They made it hard to qualify so they can spend it on themselves smfh

  13. Vote republican and enjoy your life

  14. Not surprised wait for his commercial

  15. Give to the rich and ignore the poor. Sounds about right Failed society

  16. Combover Chuck is the "HOLIER THAN THOU' – spokeass for Corp. biased media

  17. If "Favre" is pronounced "farve", should "Havre" (Montana) be pronounced "harve"?

  18. 2 justice systems. Killed a man over cigarettes, over a 20 bill, over running in the wrong town… this guy can steal millions and still walking around without a knee on his neck…

  19. The little people that get caught up in crime get time and big people doesn't who commit same crime

  20. Rich men getting richer with money that supposed to be for poor people , wow so sad and i bet they will not get punish at all .

  21. The question is how many other Republican states are pulling this 💩?

  22. Selfish, self serving rich people. Anything for themselves, screw the needy
