<p>Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ilhan-omar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ilhan Omar</a> (D-MN) smeared the U.S. military with comments that she made this week about the Trump administration gutting USAID.</p>
<p>Omar made the remarks in Washington, D.C., on Monday while railing against Trump and Elon Musk for cutting wasteful government spending.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am exceptionally upset about the USAID,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I lived in a refugee camp for four years as a child, surviving civil war. It is the essential programs that USAID provided that kept my family and I fed and safe. It is the resources that so many people around the world rely on, and it is our soft power.&#8221;</p>
<p>Omar then attacked the U.S. military: &#8220;Oftentimes people interact with our country through the military — that does not create love for us, and it certainly does not keep us safe.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When the world interacts with Americans through programs that provide essential need, they get to see the heart and compassion of the American people,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;When someone is struggling because their bridge broke down, when USAID comes in and helps fix that bridge, that creates goodwill for the American people.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When people are dying of malaria, and there is medication through USAID, that creates goodwill for the American people,&#8221; she added. &#8220;When people are fleeing and they need just little bit of food, and USAID is there to provide that, that creates goodwill for the American people.&#8221;</p>
