For every example of USAID funds being misused there are countless examples of lives being saved, this is just an excuse by people who don't care for the less fortunate in other countries. It's worse than not caring, they willingly push misinformation.
The average American believes that foreign aid accounts for 25% of the federal budget, in reality it's less than 1%. People who supported getting rid of USAID are under the assumption the saved money will vastly improve their own lives, when that doesn't happen in the least I wonder if they'll even think of the amount of deaths that program could have saved.
