Matt Gaetz Moves To Abolish Woke Federal Bureaucracy USAID - 'The American People Will Not Tolerate Government-Funded Degeneracy'

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) proposed legislation that is sending shockwaves through the international community on Tuesday. Gaetz is moving to abolish the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in its entirety due to its continued advocacy for radical leftist policies such as abortion, gender identitarianism, and 'climate change' driven energy policies.

According to the text of the legislation obtained by The Daily Caller, the bill is based in part on a damning May 2022 report from the Heritage Foundation which, as the outlet reported, found U.S. tax dollars were being used to espouse the ideology of the far-left.

The Heritage report explains, "As a result of the Biden Administration’s 2021 National Gender Strategy, taxpayer-funded foreign aid now uses 'an intersectional approach that considers barriers and challenges faced by those who experience intersecting and compounding forms of discrimination,' a Marxist-inspired racial theory according to which overlapping layers of 'oppressed' identities confer greater victimhood to select categories of people. Now backed with substantial funding from the Biden Administration, it has become an explicit criterion for 'economic growth and development, democracy and political stability, and security of nations across the globe.' Intersectionality now dictates the manner in which USAID designs its programs and who receives funding. The Gender Strategy even projects Roe v. Wade, a domestic judicial opinion, onto the global arena as the basis for 'promot[ing] access to sexual and reproductive health and rights both at home and abroad.'”

The bill states, 
 

"USAID uses United States tax dollars to push radical, leftist ideology abroad, going so far as to undermine foreign governments who do not adhere to the perverse ideology it espouses."

To correct this, the Gaetz-sponsored bill requires, "no Federal funds may be made available to carry out any of the functions, duties, or responsibilities assigned or delegated to the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development pursuant to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C.17 2151 et seq.) or any other provision of law."

“USAID does not serve a meaningful purpose. It is used as a slush fund for international wokeism. Therefore, serious lawmakers in Congress should support its complete abolition,” Gaetz added. 

The bill lists several disturbing uses of American taxpayer dollars:

  • "USAID aims to identify and address ‘‘restrictive gender norms and inequalities...to foster the sustainability of results’’
  • "USAID meddles in local elections, promoting the interests of ‘‘women, youth, and other traditionally marginalized groups’’ ahead of the interests of the other nations’ citizenry."
Gaetz posting to X App wrote, "Today I'm introducing legislation to ABOLISH @USAID. Taxpayer dollars are being wasted to fund radical leftist propaganda in foreign countries. The American people will not tolerate government-funded degeneracy at home, and we certainly will not accept its force-feeding abroad under Old Glory!"



In a press release regarding the bill, Gaetz's office revealed that the legislation is cosponsored by Representatives Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Eli Crane (AZ-02), Paul Gosar (AZ-09), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14), and Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13).
