The Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) recent scrutiny of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has sent Democrats into a panic, exposing their favorite taxpayer-funded slush fund for radical causes. The revelations have struck a nerve, and they’re scrambling to contain the fallout. Meanwhile, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) delivered a devastating takedown of the Democratic Party for its shameless defense of USAID, making it clear just how deep their priorities lie—and it’s not with the American taxpayer.
And it would be a shame if you didn’t see it.
“To my friends who are upset, I would say with respect, call somebody who cares. You better get used to this. It’s USAID today, it’s going to be the Department of Education tomorrow,” Kennedy said on Fox News earlier this week.
And he has continued to call out the waste that has been funded through USAID.
“This has been going on for a week,” Kennedy explained. “People have been screaming like they’re part of a prison riot. ‘Oh, my God, look at what Musk is doing. He’s looking at the spending.’ And I’ve listened to people talk about the process and debate whether it’s constitutional and discuss how many lawyers can dance on the head of a pen. But you know what? I haven’t heard one single person who’s upset with President Trump or Mr. Musk, talk about what he’s found.”
So Kennedy went on to explain what has been found.
“Okay, listen up,” he began. “Now, Mr. Musk started with the USAID that handles a lot of foreign aid for America—American people—very generous. But I tell you what Mr. Musk discovered. I found it fascinating.”
He discovered that the American taxpayers are giving money to Afghanistan. He found that we are giving money to Yemen. He found that we are giving money to Syria. I didn’t know that some of our foreign aid is going to Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria. He found that the USAID has 10,000 people, 10,000 people—employees—and every year they give away $40 billion. He. He found that the USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam. Our money, taxpayer money. He found that USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. I didn’t know that. I bet you the American people didn’t know that. He found that USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group called Grupa Izadji.
