Republicans accuse Democrats of pushing for reinstating disputed foreign aid to end the government shutdown.
Republican Senator John Kennedy accused Senate Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, of demanding the reinstatement of controversial foreign aid projects—such as $3.6 million for cooking and dance programs in Haiti and funding for LGBTQ initiatives in multiple countries—as leverage to end the ongoing government shutdown.
He claimed these items, removed via a budget rescission, are being used to advance what he called wasteful, ideologically driven spending.
