He also addressed press reports that young Republican state leaders used racist, antisemitic and homophobic language in thousands of a group chat messages earlier this year that have now been made public. He made the following statement:\n\n\u201cBills are voted in by Democrats and Republicans and the beneficiaries are Democrats and Republicans. They\u2019re not \u2018Democrat\u2019 bills as Trump calls them; they\u2019re American bills and American laws: SNAP payments benefit low-income people with nutritional needs. And grocers benefit from them and food manufacturers and producers benefit from them and farmers benefit from them as well as the individuals getting food for their SNAP benefits so they\u2019re not Democrat bills; they\u2019re American bills.\n\n\u201cReports that young Republican state party leaders sent and received thousands of group chat messages expressing foul, violent and racist sentiments also must be condemned. Trump\u2019s rhetoric has led an erosion in civil discourse. These trends must be addressed and reversed. Additionally, those responsible for permitting them must be called out and removed from positions of responsibility.\u201d\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://cohen.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-cohen-condemns-trump-attacks-democrat-programs-and-young"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0595312342047691, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
