A group of anti-DOGE protesters crashed a House hearing this week, demanding that funding be restored to an AIDS related program called PEPFAR.
As the protesters were being escorted out of the room, Florida Republican Rep. Brian Mast pointed out that this particular program was found to be life saving, and already had its funding restored.
Leftists are just throwing anything against the wall to see what will stick. They’re so out of sorts that their protests aren’t even informed by facts. They have no idea what they’re talking about, as usual.
Townhall reported:
Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) brutally fact-checked several pro-USAID protestors who tried to crash his House hearing Thursday on how the U.S. international aid agency has wasted and abused massive sums of American tax dollars.
“Restore All AIDS funding now! PEPFAR saves lives!” a small assembly of agitators shouted during the congressional proceedings. They held signs saying “Trump Kills People With AIDS Worldwide” behind one of the witnesses, former USAID official Max Primorac, who was delivering his opening statement.
As the left-wing activists were swiftly escorted out, Congressman Mast, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, then schooled them on the very issue they were protesting over.
“I guess these guys don’t watch the news. They didn’t realize that PEPFAR was one of the many programs that did prove to be life-saving, so the funding was restored,” Mast quipped. “Somebody better give them a link to, uh—I don’t know, maybe Fox News, or something like that.”

Is it too much to ask that leftists do a little research before launching a protest? Can they at least familiarize themselves with the facts?
