“Daily Show” correspondent Desi Lydic on Wednesday slammed President Donald Trump over his State Department’s plans to destroy $9.7 million of taxpayer-funded contraceptives intended for women in low-income countries.
The U.S. looks to spend $167,000 to burn the birth control — most of which reportedly doesn’t expire for several years and sits in a warehouse in Belgium — rather than deliver it to crisis zones and refugee camps after his administration dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Lydic said.
She later added, “At least sell it. You’re Donald Trump, just slap your name on it, call them ‘Trump Cooter Shooters’ and rake in enough cash to pay down the national debt! I don’t know, figure it out!”
Lydic — who joked that the State Department’s target is “something very close” to her cervix — proceeded to advise Americans to start “stocking up on birth control now” given the administration’s plans.
“Personally, I always have at least seven to nine IUDs implanted at all times,” she quipped.
“You never know when the girl in the next stall is going to need one.”
