In a stunning exchange that perfectly captures the absurdity of the previous Biden administration's woke priorities, Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) grilled a State Department official Thursday over funding for a bizarre "queer maps" project during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing.
The Florida congressman pressed Undersecretary of Public Diplomacy Sarah B. Rogers about the program, asking pointedly: "Can you tell me — what is 'queering' the map?"
Rogers' response was as bewildering as it was revealing. According to social media reports of the exchange, the State Department official actually admitted: "I think we were trying to make the maps more gay."
This is your tax dollars at work, folks. While Americans struggled with inflation, border chaos, and real national security threats under Biden, the State Department was apparently funding projects to make maps "more gay."
The exchange highlights exactly why President Trump's return to the White House couldn't come soon enough. While the Biden regime wasted taxpayer money on woke nonsense, real diplomacy and America's standing in the world suffered.
Rep. Mast, a decorated Army veteran who lost both legs serving our country in Afghanistan, has consistently been a fierce advocate for accountability in government spending. His questioning exposes the kind of frivolous, ideologically-driven waste that defined the Biden years.
This is precisely the kind of deep state bureaucratic nonsense that President Trump and his team are working to root out in his second term. The American people deserve a State Department focused on advancing America's interests abroad, not pushing radical gender ideology through cartography.
How many more ridiculous Biden-era programs will Republican oversight uncover? Patriots deserve answers about every penny wasted on woke pet projects while real priorities were ignored.
