Rep. Crockett: MAGA ‘Allegedly Don’t Like Immigrants’ but They Are ‘in Love’ with Elon Musk

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Velshi: “She also apparently had a calculator on her phone which maybe Mike Johnson doesn’t have. I think one of the things that surprised me the most this week was, the immediate response, Elon Musk tweets something then Donald Trump seems to be following that and making threats to members of Congress. That seems to have an influence on things. Tell me about that dynamic whether you care about it whether you think it’s influential.”

Crockett: “The reasons I did vote present instead of actually voting for the bill. I would not vote to throw things in disarray as we are approaching Christmas but I want to be clear, this is not how I legislate. I think it was a mistake for them to even be influenced by Elon Musk. By him saying look at how many pages this bill was an lookout in many pages this will is. Automatically that makes it clean? That is automatically somehow taking money out? That is not the case. I am a lawyer, right? We do legislation. Yes, we write things, the absolutely take up pages. Things such as preventing him from being a great investor in things over in China. That is what he really wanted thrown out. Listen, MAGA may believe he is their ultimate savior. It is amazing is the allegedly do not like immigrants but I guess they are in love with this one. I don’t really understand what’s going on but, I can tell you . as was already stated on the house floor, the only currency we have when we are legislate for us is our word. It is a reason that McCarthy did not survive. If Mike Johnson thinks he is going to get any favors from the Democrats I have news for him. He will not get any favors out of us. We will see how this publican trifecta decides that they are going to govern or not.”
