None — South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer defended the controversial comments he made about government assistance programs. He compared giving out government assistance to feeding stray animals.
Bauer said his metaphor was taken out of context. He said it's important that welfare doesn't breed a culture of dependency.
Bauer said that people who receive tax-funded assistance should have to meet certain requirements, such as drug tests and mandatory involvement in their children's education.
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Chad McGowan said Bauer doesn't know the difference between being needy and greedy.
