Aleta Sprague and Rachel Black's piece on the 'welfare queen' was referenced in New Republic:
"Rather than reframe the debate over welfare, Clinton ended up legitimizing the notion that the poor need 'tough love,' reinforcing the racist stereotypes that had been peddled by Reagan, and whetting the GOP’s appetites for even more cuts. Today, drawing on the same rationale that was given credence by Clinton, Trump and his Republican allies in Congress are clamoring for another round of 'welfare reform.'"
