End USAID funding to UNRWA, which funds Hamas

A: USAID has been out of control. I have demanded accountability from AID. They have refused it. As an appropriator, I have asked them to be very clear about, for example, their role funding Hamas in Gaza. They would not comply. They will not tell us what they do. Now that we start to find out some of the programs that AID has been funding, I mean, think about it, sex change operations in Guatemala, LGBTQ programs in Serbia, this is ridiculous. This is so beyond the pale.

Q: The U.S. government does not fund Hamas. Do you have any evidence that the United States government is funding a terrorist group?

A: Certainly, the funds that have gone to UNRWA. You saw the UNRWA members who were also Hamas members going in an attack.

Q: UNRWA is part of the United Nations.

A: UNRWA is supporting terrorist groups. And if you look at what UNRWA has done, it's been so counter to our national interest. It's unbelievable that we would fund it.
