Tempers flared on Capitol Hill Tuesday as House Republicans accused left-leaning nonprofits of misusing taxpayer dollars during a Judiciary Committee hearing. The nearly two-hour session focused on allegations that federal funds were being used to support projects abroad, such as a transgender comic book in Peru and millions for Sesame Street in Iraq.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said, "In simple terms, they used your money against you, took your tax money, spent it on stupid things."

Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., criticized the funding of a transgender comic book in Peru, saying, "Cause we don't have needs in our country, right? We've got money to fund a transgender comic book in Peru."
