Texas Democrat Jolanda Jone impeached President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated video of the Congressman holding a fighter jet in New York City, uploading what appears to have been a government shutdown.
Jones, who is a Texas State Representative running for an open house seat in Houston following the death of Rep. Sylvestrescher Turner in March, commented on the uncertainty of SNAP funding from the government shutdown.
“Nothing shows more why we need dysfunctional leaders to fight Donald Trump, than his shameful manipulation of the benefits of starving people,” Jones said in a statement Monday on Fox News Digital. “What kind of monster would allow children to starve for political points? I’ll tell you who will fight Trump harder than me.”
Jones’ comments came after he told reporters Friday during a preview of Tuesday’s election that a break in funding would have “a monetary penalty for exercising their first right to free speech.”
“You’re a troll,” said Friday.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
Meanwhile, SNAP benefits were set to expire on Saturday, affecting 42 million Americans in the program. This program supports low-income people or families to buy groceries with a debit card.
However, two federal judges issued orders on Friday demanding that the Trump administration respond to financing Snap, and use emergency reserve funds to keep the program afloat. However, it is not certain how the debit cards will be reloaded by the beneficiaries following the decisions.
The Trump Administration said Monday that it plans to pay part of its snap benefits in November. However, Trump said on Tuesday on social media that Snap’s benefits will only be distributed “when the radical left Democrats open the government, which they can easily do, not before!”
However, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavett said that while the Trump administration is following the court order, Snap recipients should expect to take “some time” for Snap recipients to receive emergency funds.
At that time, Jones also said that he is ready to do it to Trump, and he will come back and bring in the President.

“Our president should not tear down the East Wing of the White House. He should provide affordable housing, and I will fight for that … and I’m ready to go,” said the toe, which is exactly what I’m ready for.
Jones is one of fifteen candidates serving in the Texas ’18th state special election in Houston. If no candidate fails to receive a majority of votes, the top two opponents will face a runoff election.
In early October, Jones told CNN that he did not subscribe to the former owner of Mne Lady Michelle Obama “when it’s down, we go up.” Instead, Jones said he will come back hard.
“If you punch me in the face, I’m not going to punch you in the face,” Jones said in an interview with “Pre-CNN” on Oct. 22 When he does the throat action.

“We can go back and forth, fighting in each other’s faces,” Jones said. “You have to hit hard enough where it won’t go.”

“An interviewer asking with the phrase, ‘when they’re down, we’re going up.’ Jones’ representatives responded with a simple metaphor for fighting – nothing more, nothing less,” a spokesperson for Jones’ company previously told Fox News Digital. “Anyone who tries to learn too much from it is wrong.”
