WATCH: Chuck Schumer Mistakenly Endorses DOGE, Says if They Shut Down USAID, They’ll Target the IRS Next: “This is Just The Beginning”
February 5, 2025
Responding to the Trump Administration’s shutdown of USAID Headquarters this week, Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) foreshadowed that “this is just the beginning.”
Schumer, who is currently under investigation by the DOJ for targeting and threatening Supreme Court Justices, railed against Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for their “attacks” on the United States International Development Agency (USAID).
The agency is a slush fund for Democrats, globalist interventionism, and woke radical left programs. It’s also the worst offender of violating Presidential Executive Orders, according to Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency.
As recently revealed by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, in a scathing rebuke of the agency, they spent $2.5 million of taxpayer dollars to promote DEI in Serbia, $70,000 for a DEI musical in Ireland, $47,000 for a transgender opera in Columbia, and $32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru.
USAID also funded hundreds of nefarious projects worldwide, including coronavirus gain-of-function research in China.
On Monday, President Trump shut down USAID’s headquarters in DC, locking employees out of the headquarters and sending an email in the middle of the night telling them to stay home.
Trump said the night before, on Sunday, that USAID is run “by a bunch of radical lunatics” and that we are “getting them out.”
In a speech on the Senate Floor this week, Schumer said, “You can be sure they’ll move on to another target tomorrow.” He added, “Maybe it’ll be the Postal Service, or the IRS, or even the Social Security Administration.”
And he’s right!
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced before taking office last month that he would create an External Revenue Service to counter the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) taxation of American citizens with tariffs on foreign imports.
Within hours of his swearing-in, President Trump signed a Memorandum titled “America First Trade Policy,” where he directed the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of Homeland Security to “investigate the feasibility of establishing and recommend the best methods for designing, building, and implementing an External Revenue Service (ERS) to collect tariffs, duties, and other foreign trade-related revenues.”
The President, speaking in Las Vegas, Nevada, on January 25, then announced plans to make good on his “No Tax on Tips” campaign promise and floated the idea of abolishing personal income taxes “if the tariffs work out.”
Schumer apparently doesn’t know that Americans are sick of being threatened with imprisonment if they don’t give a large percentage of their income to the government to fund foreign wars and leftwing causes.
WATCH:
Schumer: You also know that this is just the beginning. If DOGE attacks USAID today, then you can be sure they’ll move on to another target tomorrow.
Who knows? Maybe it’ll be the Postal Service, or the IRS, or even the Social Security Administration. They could be next. Or maybe our National Security Agency.
