David Brooks Likens Musk to Pol Pot and Stalin: Being Responsible For The Deaths Of Millions Of People Will Be His Legacy

Real Clear Politics ^ | 5/31/25 | Ian Schwartz

[DallasBiff]

Pol Pot, Mao, and Stalin were rabid communists, David.

Elon is not a communist and you have a warped view of DOGE.

[TTFlyer]

What a pantload of propaganda.

[Diogenesis]

“And so there’s folks at Boston University who count, how many people have died because of what DOGE did at USAID? “

the BU criminals insured their own students to make
money; no doubt a tactic learned by California mayors
before they burned their cities.

[marktwain]

USAID was a moneypot, a means of transferring tax dollars to Leftist activists.

I have read only 8% of USAID money actually reached the people it was claimed to be funded for, those in need.

“David Brooks Likens Musk to Pol Pot and Stalin: Being Responsible For The Deaths Of Millions Of People Will Be His Legacy”

I liken David Brooks to Mo Howard, only without the comedic talent and sympathetic attitude towards his fellow man.

His legacy will be that he is wrong about everything, yet still has a voice in the polluted stream of misinformation known as the MSM.

[HYPOCRACY]

Elon must be his hero then because the other three certainly are.

[virgil]

The guy’s nuts. As momma always said: “$65 billion is $65 billions.” That’s our money, you crazy lunatic.

[chajin]

I am sick of fools, particularly of fools who proclaim themselves as wise. IDIOT! Sometimes it is best to just SHUT UP and go away, and this Brooks needs to flow elsewhere.

I’m no Musk fan, but this is ridiculous.

Brooks is an embarrassment.

[RckyRaCoCo]

He only gets his face-time on leftist networks...therefore he speaks their language.

[MayflowerMadam]

Fauci and Biden beat all of them.

[LittleBillyInfidel]

only saved $65 billion out of a multitrillion-dollar budget.

This statement sums up the small mindedness of a typical NY Times reporter and all of those like him who can't comprehend what money can buy over any budget larger than about $4 million. "Journalists" and politicians question nothing anymore.

[Signalman]

Brooks is an absolute J-off.

[paint_your_wagon]

Leftists have never been very eager to condemn communist dictators while they were actively committing atrocities against their own people. In fact, they have a history of ignoring, covering up, apologizing for, and/or collaborating with said regimes.

FU David Brooks.

[Mr. K]

For finding fraud??

[Antoninus]

Translation: "If the US doesn't spend hundreds of billions of dollars it doesn't have, and go deeper into debt that the Boomer's grandchildren will never be able to pay off, then millions of people will die."

Enough, already. As if population controllers like David Brooks actually care if people die. If government policy ends up killing people, people like Brooks consider that a benefit.

[Wallace T.]

Brooks is falling down on the job. He somehow forgot to mention that Austrian fellow who ruled Germany between 1933 to 1945. What real liberal fails to do a reductio ad Hitlerum?

[nhbob1]

All you need to know about David Brooks is that he thought Obama was qualified to be President because he had an immaculate crease in his trousers. Another “expert” who is ALWAYS wrong!

[Kazan]

And, Brooks is the Republican at the NYT.

This is the kind of propaganda that was being put out under Stalin in the old Soviet Union.
