Speaker Alleges USAID Funds Terrorism and Questions Pakistan School Spending

Who gets some of that money? Does that name ring a bell to anybody in the room?

Because your money, your money, $697 million annually, plus the shipments of cash funds Madrasas,

ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS-Corazon, terrorist training camps, that's what it's funding.

If you think that the program under Operation Enduring Sentinel entitled Women's Scholarship Endowment,

which receives $60 million annually, or the Young Women Lead, which gets about $5 million annually,

is going to women, who, by the way, if you read the Inspector General's report,

is telling you that the Taliban does not allow women to speak in public.

Yet somehow you're believing, and American people are supposed to believe,

that this money is going for the betterment of the women in Afghanistan.

It is not. You are funding terrorism, and it's coming through USAID.

And it's not just Afghanistan, because Pakistan's right next door.

USAID spent $840 million in the last 20 years on Pakistan's education-related program.

It includes $136 million to build 120 schools, of which there is zero evidence that any of them were built.

Why would there be any evidence? The Inspector General can't get in to see them.

But you know what? We doubled down and spent $20 million from USAID

to create educational television programs for children unable to attend the physical school.

Yeah, they can't attend it because it doesn't exist.

You paid for it. Somebody else got the money. You are paying for terrorism.

This has got to end. I yield, Mr. Chairman.
