BREAKING - STATE DEPT COVERUP IN NIGER: A senior enlisted whistleblower stationed in Niger has EXPOSED a coverup by the State Department! He is sounding the alarm over the imminent danger our troops are facing as a result of the Biden administration’s suppression of intelligence.

Our troops in Niger have been pleading for help. They’ve sent intel reports stating that they rarely get safe water. There are no diplomatic overflights to receive medicine, fresh troop rotations, or even basic supplies.

The current government of Niger has called the U.S. presence in the country “illegal.” The deteriorating conditions may lead to another Benghazi-style attack.

Today I’m releasing “Unwelcome in Niger: An Interim Report by Congressman Matt Gaetz on the American Troop Crisis in Niger.” You’ll learn of the victims of this cover up: the 1,100 U.S. Troops who are currently stationed in Niger, functionally stranded by a Biden Administration which cares more about saving face than saving their lives.

I exclusively shared our investigative report with @BreitbartNews and explained how our inept Department of State’s suppression of information on the mission failure in Niger has now put our troops in harm:

“More than 1,000 U.S. troops are effectively being held 'hostage' in Niger with medical supplies running low — stuck between the military junta-controlled government’s demands for them to leave and the Biden administration’s refusal to let them go home after the end of their deployments, according to a report prepared by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and obtained exclusively by Breitbart News.”

In Summary: Interviews conducted by my office of active-duty U.S. service members stationed in Niger have revealed a diplomatic cover-up on the part of the U.S. Department of State.

The Biden Administration is actively suppressing intelligence reports to avoid embarrassment for investing hundreds of millions of dollars in a nation where U.S. forces are no longer welcome. How did we get here, with 1,100 American Troops stuck and thoroughly unwelcome, in a country where we have invested half a billion dollars from U.S. taxpayers?

It all began when Biden and Blinken chose Niger to be the centerpiece of their Africa Strategy…

The #SwampOmnibus is full of insane earmarks that should be REJECTED.

For example, New Jersey Senators are asking for nearly HALF A MILLION in taxpayer dollars to fund a state organization that force-feeds the LGBT agenda in schools.

This group assists in finding gender mutilation surgeries for minors and harasses schools that prevent biological men from using women’s bathrooms, participating in women’s sports, and more.

These conversations belong in the home, not at school. This is sickening!

Massachusetts Senators want nearly ONE MILLION in taxpayer dollars to fund a leadership academy for a leftist political organization that explicitly caters to “non-white” women.

This organization also advocates for woke criminal justice reform, including the elimination of "use of force statutes/policies" for police.

Maryland Senators want HALF A MILLION in taxpayer dollars for an organization that provides a safe space for “women of color entrepreneurs.”

This is reckless spending!

Our country desperately needs significant spending cuts to our bloated federal budget. Congress seems to have no interest or sense of urgency in doing so.

At a minimum, the federal government is set to spend over $95 MILLION taxpayer dollars on wasteful alternative energy earmarks in the FY24 Appropriations bills.

Here are some of the most egregious examples:

Over $53 MILLION in wasteful spending for electric vehicle fleets, charging stations, and more under the appropriations bill for Transportation, Housing & Urban Development, and related agencies 👇

Over $28 MILLION in wasteful spending for “Net Zero” projects, solar projects, and more under the appropriations bill for Energy and Water Development 👇

Today I spoke in support of my amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) before the House Rules Committee. Here are some of the critical amendments I introduced:

2. Bans the military from using taxpayer dollars to fund any and all gender mutilation surgeries.

3. Prohibits the Department of Defense from considering a state’s abortion law as a determining factor for any unit or base relocation order.

We must end the war in Syria and bring our troops home.

I do not believe what stands between a caliphate and not a caliphate are the 900 Americans who have been sent to this hellscape with no definition of victory, no clear objective, and purely existing as a vestige to the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
