One of them is former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Frame Trump), who was, as it turns out, a USAID official in in Poland, Hungary, Russia and (you knew this was coming) Ukraine. Cheney just had a testy exchange with Elon Musk that revealed that the uniparty political establishment, for all its professed compassion for migrants, is really quite contemptuous of non-Americans. 

Apparently an immigrant would have to be illegal and unemployed to get some kindness from Liz Cheney.

It all started when Mike Benz, executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, noted Cheney’s USAID connections. 

On Tuesday, he wrote: “Liz Cheney, who led Trump’s impeachment and the mass imprisonment campaign against thousands of Trump supporters, was spawned out of USAID.” He linked to an X post from Dec. 24, 2024 in which he provided evidence that Cheney had worked at USAID for Richard Armitage, who was deputy security of state during George W. Bush’s first term. Cheney, according to Benz’s source, worked at the State Department on “democracy promotion.”

Given what we have now learned about USAID, this raises all sorts of red flags about Cheney, and Elon Musk noticed. He responded to Benz’s post with one word: “Interesting.”

And it was, but that was enough to set touchy ol’ Liz Cheney off. “Damn right, @Elon,” she wrote. “I’m proud of what America did to win the Cold War, defeat Soviet communism, and defend democracy. Our nation stood for freedom. You may be unfamiliar with that part of our history since you weren’t yet an American citizen.” Wait a minute, Liz. 

We thought Orange Man was Bad precisely because he didn’t want to welcome everyone in the world and put them on our welfare rolls. And now you’re throwing shade at Elon Musk for not being born in the United States?

Former Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones fired back at Cheney with an accusation: “You care more about illegals coming to this country stealing from this country than @elon giving to this country.” Sure looked that way.

Cheney’s sneering at Musk for not being an American just didn’t make any sense, at least apart from the fact that the political establishment claims to be the embodiment of compassion, but actually has nothing but contempt for the American people. 

The recent revelations about USAID confirm that in spades by showing that taxpayer money that was supposed to go to the poor and needy of the world was actually lining the pockets of “journalists” at AP, Politico, the New York Times and elsewhere, so as to ensure that the American people were thoroughly saturated with the establishment line. And that was, of course, by no means all that USAID has been up to.
