The super sad woman from USAID who told her heartbreaking sob story on 60 Minutes?

She's not exactly who they wanted us to think she was.

Could CBS News and 60 Minutes suck any more than they already do? Sheesh!

It Turns Out the USAID Worker Who Told ‘Heartbreaking’ Story to 60 Minutes is Samantha Powers Speechwriter https://t.co/uUQ600zwfO

Say it ain't so!

From thepoliticsbrief.com:

A former speechwriter for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) appeared on CBS’s “60 Minutes” Sunday to bemoan federal workers facing financial challenges after losing their government positions.
Kristina Drye, who served under USAID Administrator Samantha Power during the Biden administration, expressed dismay by the economic realities awaiting former agency employees outside of the federal payroll. Her appearance comes after Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effectively dismantled USAID in early February after a review of agency programs revealed billions in spending on left-wing, especially pro-LGBT, social initiatives abroad.

We feel shocked!

You just can’t make this up anymore 🤦‍♀️

60 minutes needs to be relegated to the bottom of the dustbin.

They HAD to know who she was ... yup.

60 Minutes continues to kill journalism. This so-called USAID worker didn't work directly for USAID. She just billed them through a third party as a "support" person. Sounds like money laundering.
