House Foreign Affairs Committee Lead Republican Michael McCaul has released a statement blasting the U.S. State Department for awarding $20,600 to an Ecuadorian nonprofit for promoting “diversity and inclusion” by funding drag shows in the region.
In a statement about the grant, Rep. McCaul said that “this administration seems more invested in drag shows and diversity than national security.”
“This is another example of reckless spending, demonstrating just how out of touch the Biden administration is regarding domestic and foreign policy priorities,” the congressman wrote. “Russia has invaded Ukraine; the Chinese Communist Party has increased its belligerence towards Taiwan and continues to assert its malign influence across the globe.”
The representative urged the Biden administration to focus on “issues that matter” instead of their “woke agenda.”
