Mark Moyar, a USAID whistleblower and author of âMasters of Corruption,â joined Fox News host Jesse Watters for an interview Wednesday where he revealed a truly stunning waste of taxpayer money by the agency. During the conversation, Moyar said that USAID sent him to what amounts to a DEI camp where they made him do a âprivilege walkâ rather than training him to do this job, which was to root out corruption.
And thatâs not all. During this training session, they made Moyar adopt the identity of a Scandinavian woman and then discuss his âprivileges.â
Other individuals who attended the event were given identities, such as male prostitutes, and discussed how they were discriminated against. Later on, Moyar revealed that a lot of these DEI programs were disguised as other things, such as counterterrorism training.
An example he provided was of a feminist book club that was started under the Obama administration and was funded under the guise of a counterterror program.
Moyar isnât the only individual to come out and reveal the corruption within the USAID agency. Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst published an entire list of various projects and programs that have been funded by the agency for years now.
âFrom funneling tax dollars to risky research in Wuhan to sending Ukrainians to Paris Fashion Week, USAID is one of the worst offenders of waste in Washington⊠all around the world,â Ernst wrote in a post published on X.
One of the more bizarre items on the list was the $20 million that was authorized to create a version of Sesame Street in Iraq. The end goal of the program was to help teach tolerance. The money was shipped off to a nonprofit organization called Sesame Workshop and was supposed to be used to produce a program called âAhlan Simsim Iraq.â
âAs Iraq recovers from years of conflict, communities struggle to find a new sense of normalcy while physical and emotional wounds remain,â an archived link to USAIDâs website says about the project. âThe legacy of Iraqâs conflict with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) left many children without a stable home or displaced, especially those from Iraqâs ethnic and religious minorities. Additionally, Iraqi youth, who make up over half of the population, are unable to find jobs in an economy strained by war and corruption, creating vulnerabilities to radicalization.â
USAID also gave farmers in Afghanistan millions of dollars to produce crops rather than growing poppy, which is used to create a number of illegal substances. Unfortunately, this is not what happened. Farmers increased their poppy production instead, leading to increased opium production throughout the war in Afghanistan.
âDuring the height of the war in Afghanistan, USAID spent millions of dollars to help Afghans grow crops instead of opium,â Ernst posted on X. âThe results: opium poppy cultivation across the country nearly doubled, according to the UN.â
