Ignorance can\u2019t suffice as an excuse. World Vision\u2019s changes in vetting practices are a good first step, and I look forward to its continued progress.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2020\/12\/senate-investigation-finds-obama-admin-knowingly-funding-al-qaeda-affiliate\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Senate Investigation Finds Obama Admin Was Knowingly Funding an Al-Qaeda Affiliate<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your tax dollars at work\u2013 A new Senate report found the Obama administration was funding an al-Qaeda affiliate in 2014 knowing its connections to terrorism.
