A Republican in Congress has expressed his surprise that Democrats are running around now, enraged and repeatedly filing lawsuits, over the fact that there’s someone who has found government waste and fraud.
But they’re not upset at the people who have been committing the fraud.
It’s U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, who made the comments posted online this week.
I’ve seen Democrats on TV for the past week scream Elon Musk, Musk, Musk, Musk, Musk.. what’s funny to me is you’re mad at the guy who found the fraud, but not mad at people that wasted your money.. ~ Wesley Hunt

He said, “I’ve seen Democrats on TV for the past week scream Elon Musk, Elon Musk, Musk, Musk, Musk, Musk, Musk, Musk. It’s been quite invigorating actually. I’m really enjoying it. … But what’s funny about it to me is you’re mad at the guy that found the fraud, but not mad at people that wasted your money.”
He added, “Here at Congress we clearly can’t cut a budget. So I really thank Elon for doing our job for us.”
In fact, Musk, through President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, has been slashing at programs the law does not require, people who do programs that are unnecessary, spending that is not justified.
He’s already tabulated possible savings to taxpayers in the billions and billions of dollars. Of course, those many of those programs taking taxpayer cash for unnecessary projects have been created by Democrats.
Democrats have almost to a voice opposed the cutbacks, and in fact have filed well over 100 lawsuits against Trump’s agenda to make America better.
Hunt also is the congressman who warned some days ago in a congressional hearing that Democrats are unable to get past the first step in the process of handling grief.
It’s because Trump won.
He was addressing a plan to add additional federal judgeships to focus on the workload facing the current judiciary.
That plan had bipartisan support during the last Congress, but was vetoed by Joe Biden, in an apparent effort to deprive Trump of the authority to appoint additional judges.
The plan, since it was bipartisan, has returned.
He criticized the Democrat talking points about the judiciary and Trump. And the fact that Biden actually boasted of ignoring a Supreme Court ruling.
“But now we’re hearing that if President Trump ignores judges, we’re in a constitutional crisis. So if everyone is following along, it means that a constitutional crisis only occurs when Republicans ignore federal judges. And the left is using activist judges to not only legislate from the bench, but also to encroach on the executive branch.”
He accused Democrats of “resorting to lawfare” and delaying democracy.
“The same party that raided the home of President Trump and weaponized the DOJ against President Trump is now using the limited power they have to delay, delay, and delay reality. What the left is experiencing isn’t new. They are simply experiencing the five stages of grief,” he said. “And unfortunately for them, they are stuck on stage one, denial. The American people really need to get them to stage five as fast as possible, which is acceptance, because that’s exactly what the American people voted for, and that’s exactly where the American people are.”
