I think it is an exceptionally bad idea to give money to people who want to kill us.

With all due respect, that is just objectively not credible. You sanction governments you do not like, and you ignore leftist friends of yours who are utterly corrupt.

I am concerned that corruption in South Africa is undermining American interests.

That is a convenient stance, but on the face of it, it is very easy. If you want to be corrupt, be a leftist, then the Biden administration will pat you on the back and encourage you.

I am deeply concerned that the Biden administration has politicized corruption sanctions.

Corruption in the Western Hemisphere poses direct risks to American national security. Our adversaries exploit that corruption to literally buy up governments.

I think it is completely unacceptable that the current Administration has flowed $100 billion to a regime that is actively trying to murder former senior U.S. officials.

I am deeply concerned that the Biden administration systematically downplays Iran's aggression against America and against Americans.

Americans understandably do not like their government sending billions of dollars to theocratic thugs trying to murder fellow Americans.

If you say here is $100 billion, but you know what, we are going to send you a stern letter, well, that $100 billion is being used to fund weapons.

Your delisting them was indefensible and has proven catastrophic.

Right now, today, that money is flowing to the Ayatollah because there are 400 ships in the ghost fleet that this Administration will not sanction.

I find it impossible that you have no views on the $100 billion plus that Joe Biden has gifted to the Ayatollah that has been used to murder Americans and murder Israelis.
