Dating back to the early days of the Trump administration, former director Mark Moyar, who took office in Feb. 2018, recounted, on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” what he said was an agency culture steeped in inefficiency and malpractice, starting with an unconventional orientation exercise that labeled him as a Scandinavian woman in a “privilege walk.” This exercise, meant to highlight systemic privileges and disadvantages, instead served as a prelude to the deeper issues plaguing USAID.

“So I get there in February, and we have what’s called a privilege walk as part of the orientation where you are given an identity, and I was a Scandinavian woman. And so when they read these, they read lines like, you know, I get discriminated against because of government services or people don’t look how I look,” Moyar told Watters. “So you took a step forward if it applied and if it didn’t. And so I ended up near the front, and the indigenous woman with, you know, unwanted pregnancy and the male prostitute were at the other end, and then we talked about our privileges.”
