Political Quotes

“something happened very significant this morning. This morning, it was announced that the Chief Financial Officer of this Agency, USADF, has been charged and simultaneously pled guilty to corruption charges this morning. The Department of Justice just announced it. Also, we have received word from the Acting Chairman and CEO of USADF a request that we defund this entity because, as he put it, it is trash and, as he put it, it is a corrupt culture of waste, fraud, and abuse. So when the Acting Chairman and CEO of an entity that is getting all this public funding--all these millions of dollars--says defund it because we have a problem here--meanwhile, the DOGE office at the Department of War, today, echoed that and agreed with his assessment-- please, colleagues, join me. This one is not an earmark. This is spending within the bill--spending within the bill where the head of the entity asked us to defund it because the culture within that entity is impossibly corrupt. We must end it. Please support my amendment.”
