Rep. Barbara Lee: Elon Musk and Republicans Don’t Care About ‘Cancer Research for Children’

EXCERPT:

LEE: "Well, I believe that that's what Elon Musk wants, and also, I assume, Donald Trump has co-signed that. Democrats negotiated a bipartisan deal. But what they care about is making sure that their tax breaks for billionaires rather than cancer research for children, and they don’t care about what takes place if, in fact, the government shuts down. The public wants to see us working in a bipartisan way. We have done that. So I’m telling you, Elon Musk, a billionaire, non-elected, running the Republican Party, is a danger and, in fact, it’s a danger to the American people. So who knows where this goes, but you heard her say they don’t have any interest in negotiating with Democrats, even though we have been doing this day and night. So I don’t know where the speaker takes this, but I can tell you one thing, Elon Musk is running the show."
