This is a variation of the Elitist play of + Wrap a fact in a false Narrative + When people point out the false Narrative + Point to the fact and call them 'deniers'. In this case, some of that NGO money **was** going to humanitarian needs (i.e. the fact) but, as you correctly point out, ~90% was not. So we end USAID, we defund the NGOs, and that <10% spent on humanitarian needs will be gone and "people will die". $20 says that an actual humanitarian charity will step in and do it. But we'll never hear about that. IJ> Since Trump stopped these illegal uses of taxpayer money the DNC has no IJ> money in their war chest. Ya, funny how all these Woke causes are dieing now that the gov't funding has been shut off. ....
