(The Center Square) – White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at the White House press briefing Tuesday that the administration had just stopped millions in taxpayer dollars from paying for condoms for those in Gaza.
Leavitt said the finding came as a result of the pause in federal funding for a range of federal efforts, including foreign aid payments, so they can be reviewed.
That pause has sparked pushback and criticism for the Trump administration as many federal efforts ground to a halt. Leavitt, however, pointed to the Gaza condoms as proof of the necessity of the pause.
“DOGE and OMB also found that there was about to be $50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza,” Leavitt said. “That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money.”
It is unclear if the entire $50 million was for condoms, which would be an incredible sum for a population of that size, or if the condoms were just part of a $50 million spending plan. According to media reports, Hamas militants used condoms as balloons and have tied explosives to them in previous attacks.
Leavitt said they also stopped $37 million that was about to be sent to the World Health Organization. Trump signed an executive order last week to pull the U.S. out of WHO.
“So that is what this pause is focused on, being good stewards of tax dollars,” she added.
Elon Musk, who now heads DOGE, wrote on X that the finding was just the “tip of [the] iceberg.”
“DOGE and OMB also found that there was about to be $50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza,” Leavitt said. “That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money.”
We’re going to learn over the next few months of the disgraceful abuse of the Radical Left and Biden Admin.
You just got to know that the Biden Crime family got their 10% kickback in laundered condoms and tampons, paid for by the American taxpayers. Follow the money, and see the real reason for all Joe’s family pardons that could not shield us from their harrowing hard-ons.
What irks me is BIDEN KEPT UP this ‘donation’ to Gaza, EVEN AFTER BEING Briefed that HAMAS USED them to stick explosives in, to use in battle..
AND SINCE Hamas is our enemy, HOW IN GODS name, is that NOT the height of HIGH TREASON by literally funding/equipping our enemy!?!?!?
These mindless corrupt Democrat tax and spend wasters of honest American strength and integrity dispensed into the hands of foreign America haters, are acts that consistently turn into filthy lucre, by corrupt self-serving woke politicians who could not tell the difference between foreign Aid and infections of government health depleting foreign AIDS. The social financial depleting programs are to American strength, what AIDS is to the human body. It usually comes from the same place that AIDS originates, i.e. unnormal Democrat ways to make love to THE PEOPLE that involves sticking it up our backsides when we were looking the other way. Why stop at condoms, when guys like Tampon Tim can make even more money for himself and his party by getting us to pay for the tampons that stop the bleeding created in their stupidity, that should have been used to be stuffed up their ears to stop the flow from their leaky socially AIDS infected brains.
