The fact Elon Musk and Republicans want to cut spending is making Democrats crazy, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., told Newsmax on Thursday.
The House Oversight Committee's mission is "to eliminate waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in the federal government," House Oversight Committee Chair Comer told "Newsline" after several Democrat outbursts calling for a subpoena for Elon Musk.
"We finally have an administration that's willing to work with us on that. We have an entity, DOGE, led by a volunteer, Elon Musk, who just so happens to be the world's most successful entrepreneur, who's highlighting … waste, fraud and abuse …. everyday on Twitter in a very transparent manner.
"And the Democrats in Congress have lost their minds."
Democrats are scared to death Congress is going to start saving money for the American people, according to Comer.
“They're making Musk the boogeyman, when in reality, I think the majority of Americans support what Musk is trying to do, and that's to save money," Comer said.
The Kentucky congressman said Democrats are simply looking for a viral moment on MSNBC.
"The angry liberals can feel like they have a moral victory when, at the end of the day, the American people have spoken," Comer said. "After the first three weeks in office, the American people are very satisfied with Donald Trump's doing. He's doing what he said he was going to do, which is a break from the past four years.
"And this is a transparent administration. They're very transparent on social media as to what they're going to do."
