It's the classic thing of "We have done an investigation and two people have been found to be doing this thing out of the hundreds of thousands that use and rely on it (and both of them are white)." and Republicans going "SEE! We are wasting hundreds of thousands of your hard earned tax dollars on THEM, we need to cut these programs!" And then Democrats immediately capitulating on the premise of the argument because they wanted to cut the welfare anyways to create a desperate population that has to vote for them.
