Sec. Marco Rubio just eviscerated ABC's George Stephanopoulos who tried to claim people "DIED" due to cutting USAID.
GEORGE: You're saying no one's died because of the cuts?! Are they lying?
RUBIO: "No. That's RIDICULOUS. Well, then they died because ENGLAND or CANADA didn't give more, or China! Let's blame the other countries who don't give ANY foreign aid."
GEORGE: So you're not disputing it?
RUBIO: "ANYONE who tells you it's the US, if we cut a dollar we're responsible for some horrific thing? It's just not TRUE."
"It's not because we cut the aid. It's because there's a war going on and the aid never got to the people...they use aid as a tool against the people. In some of these places, it can't even be distributed!"
"It gets hijacked and stolen by criminal gangs...THEY'RE the ones to blame, not us, who've provided more than anyone else."
GEORGE: You're standing by NO ONE has died?
RUBIO: "No one has died because the US cut aid. NO. People have died because gangs steal the aid, other countries haven't stepped up - but the US has saved more lives than ANY country in the world!"
"We're not gonna continue to pour BILLIONS out the door of taxpayer funds for programs that don't work and in some cases were flat-out CORRUPT."
???? HOLY CRAP! Sec. Marco Rubio just eviscerated ABC's George Stephanopoulos who tried to claim people "DIED" due to cutting USAID.
