Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered an epic smackdown of one of Bill Clinton’s former henchmen when he outrageously accused the Trump Administration of having blood on its hands after shutting down the corrupt United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
Rubio appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America on Tuesday, hours before President Trump gave his speech to the United Nations General Assembly. Disgraced anchor George Stephanopoulos immediately launched a hostile interrogation by accusing the Trump Administration of killing people due to the end of USAID.
The Secretary of State calmly explained that USAID funding was cut off because the agency was corrupt and funded NGOs that pocketed the money instead of distributing it to people in need.
After Stephanopoulos continued to badger him, Rubio pointed out that the US still spends more on foreign aid than any nation in the world, so blaming our nation is insane when other wealthy countries like China and Canada contribute far less. If America has blood on its hands, these other countries have far more, yet they’re getting a free pass.
Rubio went on to make one final key point: it was impossible to distribute in many cases because of ongoing wars and the fact that criminal gangs were stealing the money in countries such as Haiti.
Due to these factors, a drastic change in the distribution of aid money is underway.

HOLY CRAP! Sec. Marco Rubio just eviscerated ABC’s George Stephanopoulos who tried to claim people “DIED” due to cutting USAID.
GEORGE: You’re saying no one’s died because of the cuts?! Are they lying?

RUBIO: We shut down USAID because it was a dysfunctional organization…Number 2, we are going to do more foreign aid than any country in the world, but we’re going to do it the right way.
We are not going to fund an NGO industrial complex that built itself up by taking a substantial percentage of the money. It was not going directly to the recipients, it was going to these multi-billion dollar organizations.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator, that’s all in the future. But are you standing by that comment that no one has died because of the aid cuts? Are all those aid organizations lying?
RUBIO: No. That’s ridiculous. Well, then they died because England or Canada didn’t give more, or China, the second largest economy in the world. Let’s blame the other countries who don’t give any foreign aid.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you’re no longer disputing that the aid cuts didn’t cost people their lives?
RUBIO: It did not. Anyone who tells you it’s the US, if we cut a dollar, we’re responsible for some horrific thing? It’s just not true.
It’s not because we cut the aid. It’s because there’s a war going on, and the aid never got to the people…they use aid as a tool against the people. In some of these places, it can’t even be distributed. Look at Haiti.
It gets hijacked and stolen by criminal gangs…They’re the ones to blame, not us, who’ve provided more than anyone else.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You’re standing by that no one has died?
RUBIO: No one has died because the US cut aid. no. People have died because gangs steal the aid, other countries haven’t stepped up, but the US has saved more lives than any country in the world.
We’re not gonna continue to pour billions out the door of taxpayer funds for programs that don’t work and in some cases were flat-out corrupt.
