“I don't want to hear anything about fundraising until we stop the welfare of our businesses,” one masked protester told Fox News Digital.
“Before we talk about funds that will be sent out to other countries or dedicated to the poor people in this country who need help, we need to talk about the subsidies we give to businesses like Tesla. I added, like SpaceX.”
Another individual also said it was “crazy” to wear a mask and give money to issues that don't prioritize helping Americans.
“We need to worry about people. We're not giving money to help our people and suffering here,” they told Fox. “The money going towards other issues is just crazy.”

Michael, a member of Veterans for Peace, was asked about funding terrorist-related groups.
“Foreign aid is less than 1% of the US budget, so it's a very small monetary number,” he added. “And like all programs, it needs to be evaluated frequently, and I think there are probably a few programs in the minority that are associated with the uncomfortable type of group.”
