Left-wing U2 frontman Bono is out there pushing the lie that tens of thousands of kids are being “murdered” thanks to Trump’s cuts to the criminal USAID program. But he is just one of many pushing the fake claim.
As I wrote at Breitbart News, Bono appeared on whiny ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s little-watched show to “warn” Trump that “there will be trouble” for his efforts to cut the literally billions in waste and graft that U.S. dollars paid for in USAID, the fake “charity” that supposedly helps (but really doesn’t) feed kids and cure AIDS patients across the third world.
Bono then went on the Joe Rogan podcast and claimed that 300,000 people have been killed by Trump’s budget cuts. Yes, he used that absurd number.
Bono’s lie was quickly cut down by people like Elon Musk, who called Bono a liar…
He’s such a liar/idiot 🤦♂️
Zero people have died!

Bono, though, was just mindlessly disgorging the claim by a “researcher” named Brooke Nichols who is only postulating a “model” and was not reporting any actual deaths.
In the aftermath of all these lies, a former USAID worker is out disrupting all the wild-eyed, slobbering, left-wingers who are claiming that “THE KIDS ARE DYING!!!”
According to Just The News, Max Primorac, who worked for USAID for 30 years, says the liberals are not telling the truth.
“It’s incredible to blame America for millions of people dying. Number one, they [Amnesty International] don’t have any documentation, any proof. And second, the primary responsibility of providing for citizens overseas are their own governments, not the American taxpayer,” Primorac said.
This is right. It isn’t the job of a Walmart worker in Iowa, or a plumber in New Jersey, or a trucker in Alabama to send his tax dollars to AIDES-stricken kids in the Sudan. It is the government of Sudan’s job to care for its children.
It’s long past time that the America government used our money for us. And let us decide as individuals if we want to send our own money to support charities that help starving kids, or foreign AIDS patients.
