Hawley Says ‘Liberals Are Losing Their Minds’ Over Exposing Govt Waste, Calls Out Agency Trump Should Take Down Next

Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley described Wednesday on Fox News how “liberals are losing their minds” over the Trump administration’s exposure of taxpayer dollars being wasted, adding he would like to see the president take down the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) next.

Following an X discussion space with Elon Musk on Monday about how the Department of Government Efficiency and President Donald Trump would upend the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Democratic lawmakers began pushing back, saying the move to place USAID under the control of the State Department is illegal. On “The Ingraham Angle,” Hawley called out Democrats’ panic over the exposure of billions being wasted on international programs, some of which had a high risk of landing in the Taliban’s hands and also aiding an organization linked to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

“They’re panicking big time, Laura, because their power base is being threatened. That’s what’s really going on here. I mean, look at what they’re doing over USAID. This is because they’ve used that as their personal plaything. That includes billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have gone, yeah, to fund outrageous stuff overseas like trans-affirming projects in Zimbabwe or whatever,” Hawley said.

“But also let’s not forget to fund their preferred media outlets like Politico and who knows what other left-wing rags have been getting money, federal government money from this agency, and there’s been no accountability,” Hawley added. “So yes, what’s happening is Trump is exposing all of this. He is cutting off the liberal supply chains, as it were, and the liberals are just losing their minds. They’re totally losing their minds.”
