🇺🇸 REP. TIM BURCHETT: WE’RE SENDING $40 MILLION A WEEK TO THE TALIBAN
The Tennessee congressman sounded off on what he called one of Washington’s dirtiest open secrets, billions funneled overseas through NGOs with little oversight.
He said the U.S. is effectively bankrolling the same extremists it once fought:
“We are sending currently $40 million a week to the Taliban in Afghanistan.
There’s around a thousand of these NGOs that are created, and what happens is some billionaire Soros-esque kind of person puts money in an account, a million dollars.
Some unelected bureaucrat in Washington DC sees that, and it’s got a great name like Feed the Starving Children or something.
So, and they start funding ’em.
@elonmusk
told me, and I have no reason to doubt it, we probably put close to a trillion of your tax dollars into these things, and then it flows into the pockets of terrorists.
And ma’am, they will hate us for free.
We don’t need to be paying the Taliban $40 million per week.”
Burchett said the Senate Democrats blocked a bill to stop it…
