In response to Ben Carson’s proposal of punitive rent increases and work requirements for low-income Americans receiving federal housing subsidies, DNC spokesperson Daniel Wesel released the following statement:

“Instead of fighting for low-income Americans, Trump and Ben Carson want to make it more difficult for millions of families to find jobs and put a roof over their heads. At the same time, Ben Carson has wasted taxpayer dollars with lavish spending, including on an extremely expensive dining set. The American people are outraged that the Trump Administration continues to leave them behind.”
