“If you’re a young girl in Pakistan, life is pretty tough,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Tuesday in defense of the $10 million allocated to Pakistani “gender programs” in the COVID-19 relief bill passed by Congress Monday.
The bill, which includes both a $900 billion COVID-19 relief package and a $1.4 trillion omnibus spending agreement, earmarks $25 million for Pakistan - $10 million for “gender programs” and $15 million for “democracy programs” on page 1486).
Appearing on Fox News on Tuesday, Sen. Graham was asked if he was disappointed that much of the spending in the budget and relief bill “has nothing to do with the pandemic or America.”
