Little Marco Explodes at ABC's George Stephanopoulos in Fiery Throwdown Over Foreign Aid Cuts

Secretary of State Marco Rubio exploded as ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos pressed him on his denial that people had died as a result of U.S. aid cuts, as the cabinet member shifted blame from foreign nations for giving less to “gangs” who steal relief on the ground.

During the Tuedsay morning interview on Good Morning America Rubio painted the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), shuttered by Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative this year, as having been bloated and corrupt.

A July report by the Lancet medical journal warned that cuts to the USAID could result in some 14 million deaths in the next five years, with children under 5 years of age making up a third of those likely to die.

“We shut down U.S. aid because it was a dysfunctional organization,” Rubio began. “We moved it under the State Department,” he said. “We are going to do more foreign aid than any country in the world… but we’re going to do it the right way.”

Little Marco, China is eating our lunch while you are kissing Trump's oversized stinky ass.
