Then we need to send billions to Hamas and Africa warlords. America Last and Virtue Signaling First. Like US and state funding of education, just throw money at the problem which gets grifted through dem government employees and dem NGO workers and nothing is accomplished except more war and hungry people. Just like American kids aren't educated and the US homeless population is larger than when the supposedly well meaning people got bags of money.https://pjmedia.com/sarah-anderson/...poulos-doubles-down-on-america-first-n4944010
"I, and I think anybody who tells you that somehow it's the United States, if we cut a dollar, somehow we're responsible for some horrific thing that's going on in the world is just not true," Rubio elaborated.
Stephanopoulos then tried some sort of "gotcha" situation, but apparently, he doesn't watch too many Rubio interviews. There is no game of "gotcha" in which Rubio doesn't win.
"Well, if that dollar's not going to feeding someone [or] medicine, someone's gonna die, aren't they?" Stephanopoulos interrupted, but Rubio didn't miss a beat.
This time, a frustrated Rubio cut him off.

Stephanopoulos interrupted again: "Are you standing by your contention that no one has died—"No, excuse me, George. The reason why some of these places didn't get the aid is not because we cut the aid; it's because there's a war going on and the aid never got to the people. So in Sudan, for example, it's not just a humanitarian catastrophe, it's a war zone. Okay? The aid is stolen, the aid is impeded. In fact, they use aid as a tool against the people. And so, blocking aid is a tool and an arm of war.
So in some of these places, the reason why the aid isn't getting there is, it can't be distributed. Look at Haiti. One of the reasons why aid can't be distributed into Haiti is you can send all the aid in the world you want, it gets hijacked and stolen by criminal gangs that control the country. And so, they're the ones to blame for whatever's happening there, not us who provided more aid than anybody else to Haiti…
This time, a frustrated Rubio cut him off.
No one has died because the United States has cut aid, no. People have died because gangs steal the aid. People have died because the distributors of aid have not done well. People have died because other countries haven't stepped up. But the United States has saved more lives and continues to save more lives than any other country in the world.
And we're gonna continue to do it, but we're gonna do it the right way and in a responsible way. We're not gonna continue to pour billions of dollars out the door of American taxpayer funds for programs that don't work and in some cases were flat-out corrupt.
