Spare us the fake outrage, Riley. You’re suddenly “concerned” about violence in Nigeria and Boko Haram? The same Riley Moore who cheered the gutting of USAID and foreign aid, stripping resources from the very programs that prevent this kind of instability? You can’t defund diplomacy, humanitarian relief, and international development — and then act shocked when chaos grows in the vacuum you created. You bragged about “America First” while dismantling the partnerships that actually keep Americans safer by addressing global poverty and extremism at the root. USAID, the State Department, and allied relief programs are our first line of defense against the very crises you pretend to care about. Your party’s cuts helped create the conditions you’re now exploiting for political theater. Meanwhile, here at home, you’ve done nothing to actually help West Virginians. Ten months into the fiscal year, Republicans still haven’t written their own budget. You’ve relied entirely on continuing resolutions written under the Biden–Pelosi framework — while holding the government hostage to force through backroom cuts to healthcare, food aid, and public safety. You cry about “fiscal responsibility” while shoveling money to billionaires and defense contractors. You talk about “protecting Christians abroad” while your policies starve families and children in your own district. That’s not patriotism — it’s hypocrisy. Stop the games. Stop the propaganda. Get back to work. Draft a real budget that reflects the needs of West Virginians — healthcare, infrastructure, education, clean water — not corporate handouts and fake moral crusades overseas. Until then, save the sermons. You’re not fooling anyone. The people of this state deserve honesty, not another performance from a career politician trying to distract from his own failures. We see you, Riley — and we’re done being played.
