Conservative pundit says Ukraine aid is a 'money-laundering operation'

Conservative pundit says Ukraine aid is a 'money-laundering operation'
The generous aid packages provided by the US to Ukraine in recent months are nothing but an underhand scheme aimed at defrauding American taxpayers, a prominent conservative commentator and talk show host has claimed. Candace Owens also urged the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to look into the alleged abuse.
Appearing on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight, Owens argued that it was “suspicious” that immediately after the US pulled its troops from Afghanistan on August 31, 2021, the Biden administration announced it was joining an effort to “help Ukraine join NATO.”
“We left one money-laundering operation, in which we gave 50 billion dollars of American payers’ hard-earned money, and we jumped right into the next one,” she claimed.
Owens went on to describe Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky as a “welfare queen” – a pejorative term used in the US to refer to a woman who claims excessive welfare payments through fraud.
The commentator noted that Ukrainian officials are “showing up in Lamborghinis” and “buying property in Switzerland,” while the Biden administration is pumping billions of dollars into the Eastern European country.
Owens insisted her allegations are “100% factual,” claiming that the Swiss property in question had previously been owned by a “bunch of Russian officials,” who have since vacated it. She went on to predict that Washington is likely to shrug off the claims as a “conspiracy [theory],” but they will eventually be “proven right.”
She noted that there is currently a lack of transparency, and called on Republicans to introduce measures that would help track “every single one of these dollars,” should they secure a majority in both Houses of the US Congress.
On top of that, the IRS should also investigate any alleged misuse and illegal appropriation of US aid, Owens said.
The US government has ramped up efforts to support Kiev after Moscow launched its military campaign against Ukraine in late February. Since then, the Biden administration has approved multiple aid packages worth billions of dollars."
Looks like the FrayedBear is not the only one calling out US duplicity.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I would be more prone to believe this if exactly the same accusations had not been leveled in May of this year by Marjorie Taylor Greene.
When that lying old bag is associated with anything I need to go and check the facts of the matter, which I will and then get back to this post.

I look forward to reading what you come up with Len.
However the American largesse far exceeds what is sent in similar circumstances with US citizens - just look at New Orleans & hurricane Katrina.
Canace Owen is the wife and partner of George Farmer CEO of Trumpist extreme right wing social media site Parler.
She is a Close friend of MTG and Matt Gaetz and is a Maga activist.
I therefore must take her accusations and claims with a large pinch of salt.
@FrayedBear Not, in my opinion, largesse, but as with the Korean and Vietnam wars, a chance to play silly boy soldiers with peoples lives against the "damn ruskies" and waggle their "huge missiles" at one another.
@LenHazell53 I'll get back to you - it's bedtime. But in the meantime consider "-"If you are confronted with two evils, thus the argument runs, it is your duty to opt for the ..."
That cunt, Candace Owens, is a black White Supremacists. Fuck her. Fuck the entire Republican party and everyone in it.

And she's married to an Oxford University educated Englishman!
Does she also wear pink satin ribbon bows in her pubes & sing "old glory" when having an orgasm?
@FrayedBear I wouldn't fuck her with your dick.
