GOP Sen. Katie Britt claims AOC supports defunding police and funding terrorists
Sen. Katie Britt Denounces AOC’s Call to Restore Funding to UNRWA
Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) strongly criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) recent demand to reinstate funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), drawing a sharp contrast to the Democrat’s stance on defunding the police.
“The far-left would defund the police but fund terrorists,” Britt stated in a post on X. She highlighted that 10% of UNRWA staff in Gaza have links to terror groups, while 49% have close relatives who are members of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad. According to Britt, UNRWA cannot be trusted with a single cent of U.S. taxpayer money.
Humanitarian Implications and Allegations
The Alabama Republican’s response was prompted by a post from AOC, where she emphasized the potential humanitarian consequences of cutting off funding to UNRWA. AOC also pointed out the scale of the agency compared to the alleged participants in the massacre.
“Cutting off support to @UNRWA – the primary source of humanitarian aid to 2 million+ Gazans – is unacceptable,” AOC argued. “Among an organization of 13,000 UN aid workers, risking the starvation of millions over grave allegations of 12 is indefensible. The US should restore aid immediately.”
The State Department temporarily suspended funding for UNRWA after the allegations surfaced. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller stated, “The Department of State has temporarily paused additional funding for UNRWA while we review these allegations and the steps the United Nations is taking to address them.”
Sen. Katie Britt, elected in 2023 as the youngest female Republican senator in U.S. history, is considered a rising star within the party.
