A supposed “whistleblower” who warned about cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has donated to Democrat candidates 23 times.
The so-called “whistleblower,” Nick Enrich, is the acting assistant administrator at USAID Global Health.
However, Enrich was placed on leave Sunday for publicly criticizing President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), its head Elon Musk, and others, Breitbart reported.
Trump has entrusted Musk with heading up DOGE’s efforts to streamline the bloated government.
However, the successful measures to eliminate wasteful spending and fraudulent abuse of taxpayer funds have outraged the Left.
Enrich slammed Trump, Musk, and the State Department over those efforts in a memo Friday.
He alleges that DOGE has imposed “intentional and or/unintentional obstacles” to funding what he considers crucial programs.
Enrich warned the cuts would “undermine U.S. leadership, weaken global stability, and increase long-term costs” in his memo.
“The number of deaths attributable to the loss of USAID funding and support is not known at this time,” claimed Enrich.
However, it’s difficult to heed his warning when Enrich appears unapologetically partisan.
Enrich is being lionized by Democrats as a valiant civil servant who is “blowing the whistle” on Trump’s “recklessness.”
However, it’s clear that he’s just regurgitating the Democrats’ talking points.
Since 2019, Enrick has made a total of $400 in donations to ActBlue, which raises money for Democrat candidates.
He has funneled those donations to Democrats in the 2020 presidential primary, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and then Joe Biden.
Enrich also supported Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and others in Congress.
While his donations were small, it’s significant that Enrich intended them all for radical Democrats.
He did this while raking in a $171,000 annual salary as a USAID Program Manager, outpacing the national average by 80.2% for those working for the government.
Despite this clear motivation, both as a Democrat donor and as the recipient of wasteful government spending, the Left is praising Enrich for coming forward.
They have glommed onto his message to smear Trump as callous and uncaring to those who receive foreign aid.
Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) jumped at the chance to claim that withdrawing foreign aid was one of their “worst fears” and predicted “deaths” because of it.
“These new details confirm our worst fears: the illegal and systematic dismantling of USAID will cause real suffering and deaths that are entirely preventable,” Schatz claimed.
The fake outrage and handwringing from Enrich and the Democrats don’t change the fact that DOGE’s mission has already saved the American taxpayer.
The Trump administration gutted USAID and subsequently saved $60 billion that was previously squandered under the guise of foreign aid.
With a blessing from Trump, Musk and DOGE have rooted out waste in even the most vital government sectors, including the Department of Defense.
According to Fox News, the DOD could save $80 million by cutting waste in many areas, including diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Sean Parnell, the agency’s spokesperson, championed DOGE for cutting the waste after it found ridiculous studies in the name of DEI.
“This stuff is just not a core function of our military,” Parnell said.
“This is not what we do,” the spokesman added.
“This stuff is a distraction from our core mission.
“We believe these initial findings will probably save $80 million in wasteful spending.”
The Left is disingenuous about the role people like Enrich play in these controversies, and it vindicates Trump’s assertion that these attacks are all partisan.
Enrich is someone who doesn’t support Trump, but they’re using his memo and subsequent dismissal to fuel their never-ending narrative against the president and his administration’s effort to stop the financial bleeding.
