Stephen Miller Takes A Flamethrower to USAID Slush Funds [WATCH]

Stephen Miller, a former senior advisor to President Donald Trump, accused the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) of operating as a financial pipeline for left-wing causes, using taxpayer dollars to fund global gender surgeries, diversity and inclusion programs, and climate initiatives.

During an appearance on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Miller detailed how USAID has been a primary funding source for radical progressive policies and left-wing activist groups, which he claims are now in full panic mode as President Trump moves to cut off their funding.

Miller criticized the agency’s spending priorities, stating that taxpayer dollars were being funneled into projects that do not serve American interests.

“Yes, the USA ID was a slush fund, first of all, for left-wing projects around the globe, like gender surgeries around the world, diversity, equity and inclusion policies, crazy Green New Deal, climate scams and every other lunatic left-wing project that is bankrupting this country,” Miller said.

Beyond funding progressive social programs, Miller alleged that USAID has been propping up an extensive network of left-wing non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

According to Miller, these groups use government money to influence both the corporate and public sectors while also resettling millions of illegal immigrants into the United States at taxpayer expense.

“But even beyond that, it was funding an army of left-wing activists, these NGOs, non-governmental organizations. NGOs, they get billions and billions of dollars, and they use that money to then infiltrate corporate America, to then infiltrate the public sector, to then resettle, for example, at taxpayer expense, millions of illegal aliens into this country to drive racist equity policies, to drive radical left gender policies,” Miller explained.

Miller asserted that USAID has played a key role in propping up the left-wing power structure by directing federal funds to activist groups and media organizations that advance progressive policies.

He described the resulting left-wing influence as “manufactured” by taxpayer money, rather than being an organic movement.

“And so what we’ve learned is that the left, this mammoth left-wing power structure plus left-wing media, wasn’t organic. It wasn’t created naturally. It was funded by taxpayer dollars, and that is why they are screaming and screeching so loud now is because President Trump is cutting off the slush fund to the organizations that hate and hurt America,” Miller said.

Miller’s comments come as the Trump administration moves to defund agencies and programs that have been accused of misusing taxpayer dollars to promote ideological agendas.

The move has drawn sharp backlash from left-wing organizations and media outlets, which Miller says is a direct result of their financial support being stripped away.

With Trump making good on his campaign promises to rein in government spending and prioritize America First policies, the dismantling of these funding channels marks another step in his administration’s effort to combat radical left-wing influence in government and public institutions.
