USAID, Catherine Herridge, and the al-Awlaki Funding Allegation
At 38:30 · chapter starts 38:20
This brief but punchy segment focuses on a Catherine Herridge tweet that Bongino says 'blew up the internet.' Herridge alleged a connection between USAID funding and the college tuition of Anwar al-Awlaki — the American-born al-Qaeda cleric who inspired multiple domestic terror attacks before being killed in a 2011 U.S. drone strike. Bongino uses the allegation to make a broader point: the same people complaining about Elon Musk and the Trump administration cleaning up USAID are defending an agency that may have been funding the educational career of one of the most dangerous terrorists in American history. He frames this as the ultimate example of the American left being reliably on the wrong side of every moral question.
