Sen. Tim Kaine Slams ‘Billionaire, Offshore Bitcoin Guy’ Elon Musk Over USAID
EXCERPT:
KAINE: "When the U.S. steps back in an obvious way, these adversaries lean forward to Elon Musk's claim that USAID is a ball of worms. There's a -- there's an NGO that's based in Richmond, my hometown, called the Child Fund, it used to be called the Christian Children's Fund. They do programming for low-income kids all over the world. They've been doing it for a century. They do work with USAID. Mercy Corps, Church World Services, World Vision, Bread for the World, these are really powerful groups that have direct connection with folks on the ground and the work they do there creates enormous goodwill for the United States. So how this kind of billionaire, you know, offshore Bitcoin guy, you know, would come in and look at these hardworking, often church-based NGOs, and just with a broad brush, trash them all, shut employees out of the workforce, he could care less about the needs of these struggling people who are getting food aid or healthcare assistance or vaccines. He doesn't care about them at all.”
