Mace and Haley slam Biden’s $1 bil­lion gift to Africa: ‘Infu­ri­at­ing’

Posted in Donald Trump  •  Published by

For­mer pres­i­den­tial can­di­date Nik­ki Haley was among the many users on social media con­demn­ing the Biden administration’s deci­sion to give $1 bil­lion to Africa, argu­ing the Unit­ed States is con­tin­u­ing to recov­er from hur­ri­cane sea­son.

Pres­i­dent Joe Biden announced the aid on Tues­day dur­ing a vis­it to Ango­la, stat­ing that doing so was “the right thing for the wealth­i­est nation in the world to do.” The finan­cial aid, giv­en in the wake of “his­toric droughts” in the African coun­try, comes about two months after North Car­oli­na was among sev­er­al states that were hit by hur­ri­canes in late Sep­tem­ber.

“This is infu­ri­at­ing,” Haley wrote on X. “After par­don­ing his son and flee­ing to Africa, Biden gives a BILLION of our tax dol­lars to rebuild homes in Africa when we still have peo­ple home­less from the hur­ri­cane! Com­plete­ly tone deaf and insult­ing.”

Many oth­er users on social media sim­i­lar­ly con­demned the aid, with Rep. Nan­cy Mace (R‑SC) writ­ing, “I beg your biggest par­don?”, in repost­ing the footage of Biden’s announce­ment.

“With this admin­is­tra­tion, it’s always Amer­i­ca last,” women’s sports activist and Out­kick host Riley Gaines wrote.

“Remem­ber those hur­ri­canes that rav­ages Flori­da and North Car­oli­na?” actor Kevin Sor­bo wrote. “Those peo­ple got $750.”

“I real­ly want this to be a typo,” actress Jus­tine Bate­man wrote.

“Joe Biden announces $1 BILLION in hand­outs to vic­tims of AFRICAN nat­ur­al dis­as­ters,” musi­cian Chad Prather wrote. “Mean­while, hur­ri­cane vic­tims in North Car­oli­na are still strug­gling to sur­vive. Can this Amer­i­ca LAST clown show leave already?!?”

The $1 bil­lion to Africa comes right after the Unit­ed States announced it would pro­vide Ukraine with an addi­tion­al $725 mil­lion in mil­i­tary weapons on Mon­day. Rep. Mar­jorie Tay­lor Greene (R‑GA) deemed the move as “Amer­i­ca LAST,” writ­ing that the mon­ey ought to go toward North Car­oli­na res­i­dents “who are home­less and sleep­ing in tents.”

“Amer­i­ca LAST again!!” Greene wrote. “This mon­ey should be spent help­ing the peo­ple in West­ern North Car­oli­na who are home­less and sleep­ing in tents!”

On Sun­day, Gov.-elect Josh Stein (D‑NC) stat­ed that he was “eager” to work with incom­ing Pres­i­dent-elect Don­ald Trump on hur­ri­cane relief, cit­ing the “unimag­in­able dev­as­ta­tion” Hur­ri­cane Helene left ear­li­er this year. Over 100 North Car­oli­na res­i­dents were killed by the hur­ri­cane as of Nov. 26.
