Fox News
Rep. Jim Banks slammed the U.N. after its human rights office thanked China for donating money, saying U.S. tax dollars shouldn't be funding an organization "shilling" for Beijing.
Banks, a member of the newly established House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), slammed the U.N. for its tweet. Aaron Kliegman is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
"Pathetic!" he wrote. "If the [U.N.] wants to continue shilling for the #CCP, American tax dollars shouldn't pay for it."
The U.S. is the single largest financial contributor to the U.N. system, contributing more than $12.5 billion – or roughly a quarter of funding for the body's collective budget – in 2021, the most recent year with full available data.
