Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., criticized Democrats on Newsmax Saturday for their response to recent Republican policies, saying they have become "unhinged" and are ignoring the message voters sent in the last election.
Speaking on "Saturday Report," Malliotakis responded to a rally held by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., against Elon Musk's advisory team's accessing of Americans' private data at the Treasury Department.
Schumer led chants of "We will win!" in front of the Treasury building Tuesday, protesting Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, the Independent reported.
"Well, first of all, that last scene with Chuck Schumer is so cringe, right?" Malliotakis said. "I mean, first of all, look, I got to tell you, the Democrats are so unhinged right now."
Malliotakis compared Democrat priorities with the agenda that former President Donald Trump has advanced since taking office.
"Think about what they've been fighting for and what Republicans have been fighting for over the last three weeks," she said.
"President Trump came in, immediately secured our border. He immediately stopped wasteful foreign aid that's been shoveled to countries all over the world for things that are so unnecessary, woke agenda items."
She said Trump's policies reflect what Americans voted for, arguing that Democrats are out of touch with public sentiment.
"He is trying to rightsize government, cut down on unnecessary bureaucracy and red tape, and hold federal bureaucrats accountable. But on this side, you have the Democrats holding rallies because they want to continue sending money overseas, your precious tax dollars," she said.
"They want to continue to see transgender alterations to children under 19 years old. That is something they want to continue to see: biological men competing in women's sports."
Malliotakis emphasized the "stark contrast" between the two parties' agendas and suggested Democrats have ignored reality.
"I guess the Democrats did not get the memo that the American people side with us and they wanted these things to happen," she said.
"President Trump was clear on the campaign trail that he was going to do this. And that's exactly what he's doing: putting our national security first, trying to deport all the criminals that Joe Biden let into this country — gang members, murderers, rapists — and making sure that we end all of these woke agenda items that are not in the best interests of anyone."
