U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Some people have the audacity to say that Trump’s policies don’t lead to misery and death.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: “No one has died” because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: “No children are dying on my watch.”

But the data says and projects otherwise.

A study published in The Lancet journal in June said the U.S. funding cuts could result in more than 14 million deaths, including more than 4.5 million children under age 5, by 2030.

The United States could have been a beacon of hope and a model to look up to. For many years, that was the case for people and immigrants all around the world.

In a matter of months, that has all crumbled to its foundation. It’s so hard to watch.
