Rep. Clyburn on Elon Musk Threatening to Primary Democrats: ‘I Don‘t Know of a Single Democrat Who Is Afraid of Elon Musk‘s Money’

‘We stay close to our constituents and we will outwork him’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CLYBURN: "Well, you outwork them. That‘s what you do. You outwork them. Look, I‘m a child of the 60s. I grew up here in South Carolina. Uh, I was I missed the vote yesterday because I was, uh, part of eulogizing the gentleman from very modest backgrounds who brought that flag down off the statehouse dome and started the effort, uh, all over the south, uh, to get rid of all of these confederate emblems. We did that with a lot of money against us. When I worked with John Lewis back in the 60s, a lot of money and power was against us. We did what we had to do, and I don‘t know of a single Democrat who is afraid of Elon Musk‘s money because we stay close to our constituents and we will outwork him."
