🚨 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: "No. That's RIDICULOUS. Well, then they died because ENGLAND or CANADA didn't give more,... or China! Let's blame the other countries who don't give ANY foreign aid." GEORGE: So you're not disputing it? RUBIO: "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!" "It gets hijacked and stolen by criminal gangs...THEY'RE the ones to blame, not us, who've provided more than anyone else." GEORGE: You're standing by 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." 🔥show more

Democrats miss their USAID piggybank, and are trying to find a way to justify its existence. They are significantly weakened without it, and now they're panicking.

I am deeply impressed by Marco Rubio since he became Secretary of State. He was my Senator and had some bright moments there, but what he is doing now is nothing short of remarkable. No pandering, no backing down, no holds barred. This is what I voted for. @SecRubio

Stephanopoulos just skipped right over Rubio stating if you’re blaming America then blame all the other nations who don’t give any aid, like China etc. Rubio exposes these propagandists every time he does their shows.

Watching Rubio tear apart the legacy media hacks is absolute top-tier entertainment. These people are nothing but frauds and liars.

The first death attributed to the USAID cuts was due to the NGO receiving the money claiming they couldn’t afford her oxygen, while they had $98M in stocks and the CEO made $1.2M/yr

Steven’s government friends are upset. The gravy train is starting to dry up. It’s all money laundering.

Marco Rubio is kicking a**! I'm so impressed and very grateful to @SecRubio for representing our country so well.

Why do these reporters get so caught up in their gotcha game? They look like imbeciles. “I’m not listening to the intelligent thing you said, I’ve got this question… this question… I’m going to ask it 7 times because it’s so spectacular and will bring Trump down”

Rubio’s right—USAID’s collapse isn’t about funding cuts, it’s about systemic rot. The Protect U.S. National Security Act (H.R. 1196) tried to lock taxpayer $$$ into a broken agency notorious for funneling aid to corrupt networks and bloated contractors. When clinics like the one in Nigeria shuttered, it wasn’t because America stopped funding; it’s because D.C. designed programs that couldn’t survive without endless cash infusions. The real scandal? USAID’s structure allowed gangs and regimes to hijack aid, turning “humanitarian” efforts into slush funds. Cutting waste isn’t cruelty—it’s accountability. Pouring billions into unaccountable programs isn’t compassion; it’s complicity in failure. The receipts on USAID’s failures and the real cost of unchecked aid are here:

Rubio: I like toast Stephanopoulos: so you’re saying you hate pancakes?

That retard already got his network sued once for millions, how is he still on the air?

Secretary Rubio shredded Stephanopoulos... NO hesitation on pushing back against his continued attempts to 'spin'

Rubio is brilliant, and he will be president one day. Count on it. The way he stomps on the mainstream media is astounding and they don't know how to deal with it because he overwhelms them with facts. And they don't like it, swine that they are.

The look when you've been defeated 😂

You can tell George Slopadopolous was frustrated.

Democrats are melting down in real time. Their lies are being exposed.

@AnthonyM44839 The Democrats hacked USAID for everything they could, funneling money to foreign interests and planned parenthood because they're America last and love abortions.

Not to mention that actual physical aid was a small fraction of USAID distribution. Most spending was going to NGOs with no critical aid purpose and no traceability or accountability.

I am still trying to understand why “aide” is our responsibility when people in our own country can’t afford basic health care (not to be confused with health insurance which is a scam as well) and we bury our children in debt to get an education? Let other countries deal with their own problems. Don’t forget their citizens come here and take American jobs and send all of their money back home. They should all be on their own. Sorry, not sorry.

@DawnStensland Serious question! Why does @ABC still employ the biggest Clinton hack & propagandists of all? Why can’t media find people who report news without agenda? There is a reason no one is watching ABC anymore, because of people like George Stephanopoulos! We have choices now!

Stephanopoulos is a hack and Secretary Rubio ran circles around him.

Stephanopoulos spews nothing but lies. He's a paid Democrat propagandist.

I'll be honest, I initially questioned Trumps pick of Rubio for Sec. of State. But there hasn't been one interview of his that I haven't agreed with him. He has been a fierce fighter for the American people and the conservative movement.

You know what? I don't care if people did die. I care about Americans that are dying on our own streets.

Why is it only America that gets blamed when aid fails, but never the countries who refuse to give a dime?

@Cathi1054420 George has been and always will be a fraud with a mission to undermine one party.

Stephanopoulos is such a TDS dripping, POS. Sickening. Ty @marcorubio for making him look like a fool.

George’s career died long ago.

George, George. Come on. @SecRubio is simply much smarter than you. Gotcha questions trying to corner him into admitting something absurd doesn't work. Find a new line of work, tiny.

So happy to hear this . . I always questioned the USAID, NGO cartel. Money poured into Projects for decades that never ended.

"the US has saved more lives than ANY country in the world!" Yes! @SecRubio. We have done enough to save everyone. In return, countries just steal from America via fraud, tartifs, and they fail to pitch in their share. We need to just freeze foreign aid.
