~ MSNBC had the intellectual honestly to call a Dem UNHINGED? And Snopes debunked a remark attributed to Musk about how "Italians should stay in Italy and Japanese people should stay in Japan." WOW! Well, Yoko Ono should've stayed in Japan 😉

A Democratic Rep. drew criticism on social media Monday when she told DOGE Chief Elon Musk to "Go back to South Africa" and asked "What the hell" he is doing in the United States.
"It was interesting yesterday I was watching a video of an interview of Elon Musk with someone where he said that the Italians should stay in Italy and the Chinese should stay in China, my question to Elon Musk is what the hell are you doing here in America?" Democratic Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez (N.Y.) said outside the HUD Department on Monday evening.
"Go back to South Africa," Rep. Velazquez said.
Velazquez was repeating a claim promoted on social media about an Elon Musk interview in 2023 that liberal fact-checker Snopes deemed to be "false."
Conservatives on social media blasted Velazquez for her comments on Musk's immigration status.
"Unhinged," Bobby LaValley, Rapid Response Director for House Speaker Mike Johnson, posted on X.
"Completely unhinged…," the White House Rapid Response team added in a post on X.
"Elon has broken their brains so much that Democrats are now embracing nativism," White House Rapid Response’s Greg Price posted on X.
"Nydia Velasquez has finally found an immigrant she doesn't like," Claremont Institute Senior Fellow Jeremy Carl posted on X. "Not the tens of thousands of illegals in her district who live off of our tax dollars – but America's greatest entrepreneur, a White immigrant. When the left tells you who they are believe them."
"Imagine if any Republican said this about any liberal," Right Turn Strategies President Chris Barron posted on X.
Fox News Digital reached out to Velazquez’s office for comment.
Velazquez had gathered outside the HUD building with fellow Democrats in the latest protest of Musk’s DOGE efforts.

Racism against an African-American
So what state has damaged the rest of nation the most the last couple generations, CA, IL or NY? I submit it is NY by a country mile.
Usual suspects. As usual.
Yup, right after she goes back to Yabucoa, Puerto Rico.
Brown people cant be racists. Everybody knows that. s/
Wait so now Dems are in favor of deporting immigrants..or only deporting immigrants who vote Republican I keep on forgetting
That seat will next be held by a Republican who campaigns on her wanting to send an African-American back to where he came from.
Say that to a black politician and watch all hell break loose.
No you go back to Mexico
Elon is an American citizen
The illegal alien female from Mexico complained that Elon had only been an American citizen for 22 years
How long is enough ???
I’ve been an American citizen for 50 years
Is that long enough ???
I'd bet this Democrat Rep. gives full support to illegal immigration while trashing Musk's legally becoming a U.S. citizen.
What is he doing? Creating some of the world’s biggest companies. Creating hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth. Creating thousands of jobs. Other than that his hobby is going to save the largest economy in the world.
And therefore the world. Sit down and shut up.
Beat me to it.
Musk has contribute trillions of times more to the U.s. than that idiotic lady, even as a naturalized citizen.
The U.S. is very lucky to have him. Her? Nobody would miss her if she just went away.
That's true, but I'd rather she was in PR than DC.
