The $50 million dollars in condoms going to Gaza so they could make condom bombs to kill Israelis? It was going to Gaza, Mozambique thousands of miles away.

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, made a similar claim on Tuesday during her debut news briefing. She stated that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) "found that there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza."

She called the alleged aid "a preposterous waste of taxpayer money".

Jesse Watters, host of a conservative-leaning talk show on Fox News, said Hamas was using the nonexistent US shipments to make "condom bombs", floating explosives-laden balloons into Israel. Did he share any evidence to back up that bomb-astic claim? No.

The chuds, some of them are fine people, but they're not sending their best

An April USAID report shows that the US delivered $60.8m in contraceptives and condoms to four regions – the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean – in the previous fiscal year.

The Middle East received just $45,681 while Africa received more than $54m, or 89 percent, of the contraceptives in fiscal year 2023.

The report added that the $45,681 was made entirely to Jordan and included oral contraceptives and injectable contraceptives but did not include condoms.

Sorry Palestinians, African kings need those condoms more
