House Dem goes on screaming rant against Elon Musk, DOGE: 'Shame!' (Larson, RAT Conn)

Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., erupted over Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) while delivering remarks to colleagues on the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday.

During a markup of bills related to providing the House with information on DOGE access to Treasury Department payment systems and the Social Security Administration, Larson turned red and shouted at Republican colleagues, "You will do whatever Elon Musk and Donald Trump tell you to do.

"Where's the independence of the committee? Where's the legislature? We're an equal branch of government," an enraged Larson yelled, "Look at the empty seats here. Where's Elon Musk?"

"I'm sure he's a genius and a very credible person because of the wealth he's accumulated, but that does not put him above the law or the responsibility to come before this committee and this Congress," Larson said. "If he’s great, and all the plans and all the fraud and abuse that he found are so eminent, why isn't he here explaining it? You know why!

"Because he's out to privatize Social Security. He’s been on television the last couple of days talking exactly about Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and what he intends to do — privatize it. The American people, some of them may have been born at night, but not last night."

The White House responded Thursday in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"The Democrats have no plan on how to recover from their embarrassing loss, and it shows," White House principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields said.

He has a part to play in the political theater presentation of “us” vs “them”.

The Democrat theater kids...

Larson is the old white guy union thug Democrat. As others noted he thinks he has a divine right to loot the Treasury.

He thinks he owns the Congressional seat—because he does.

Hartford is a classic third world dictatorship with blatant voter fraud.

If he croaks the next Congress-critter will be worse—much worse.

“You will do whatever Elon Musk and Donald Trump tell you to do.”

Unlike the Democrat delegation, known for their independent thinking./s

This is what I think most people don’t realize: How much stronger a GOP representation we’d have in the House, Senate, and governorships if we didn’t have down-ballot fraud.

The only way to stop voter fraud in CT is with an occupying army guarding each polling station in urban areas until the last vote was counted.

Anything less is doomed to failure.

They need picture IDs and hand-counted paper ballots to have any hope. Purple thumbs wouldn’t hurt either!

My response to him would be, “listen you moron, Musk never once used the word ‘privateize.’ It takes a special kind of stupid to be a Democrat.”
