McCaul: American Taxpayers Should Not Be Funding Democrats “Woke Agenda” Overseas

Austin, TX –Congressman Michael McCaul (TX-10) released the following statement after news of a U.S. State Department grant of $20,600 awarded to an Ecuadorian nonprofit for the purposes of diversity and inclusion funded drag shows in the region.

“This is another example of reckless spending, demonstrating just how out of touch the Biden administration is regarding domestic and foreign policy priorities. Russia has invaded Ukraine; the Chinese Communist Party has increased its belligerence towards Taiwan and continues to assert its malign influence across the globe. Yet this administration is focused one funding drag shows in Ecuador? This administration seems more invested in drag shows and diversity than national security. Its time Democrats in Congress and the Biden administration focus on the issues that matter, not their ‘woke agenda.’”
