Watched a bit and he's just talking in platitudes. Once he gets into examples we actually have something to talk about. So which of the examples given were so egregious that we had to axe everything that USAID does? Was it trying to produce Sesame Street for Iraq? Or maybe the thing about Sri Lankan journalist education for avoiding gendered language (I'll just take the Senator's word on this one). Because just listing them and then not getting into what you disagree with is a lazy man's argument so let's get into it. You keep saying "noone wants to talk about the actual findings" so fucking do it. Don't give me 30 minutes of youtube homework you tell me with your words what they found that you disagree with and let me know why it means all of USAID has to stop. |
USAID went against Aipac, published a report that stated the USA was violating Leahy law which it was forced to retract one week later.
Before that they already criticized JLOTS.
