Dem Rep. Moskowitz: ‘I Agree with the Mission of DOGE’ But Everyone Wants Elon Musk Less Involved

EXCERPT:

MOSKOWITZ: “'The Economist' in November said that Republicans, these are all just Republicans, 47 percent of them wanted Elon Musk very involved with the government. That number today, that same poll by 'The Economist' is now 26, just with Republicans. So you don't have to listen to Democrats like me, listen to Republicans. Republicans, by 20 points, want Elon Musk less involved with the Trump administration. So it's how they're doing it. Article I of the Constitution preserves all this stuff for Congress. Again, another data point. I want to find all of these things. We can audit all of these departments. We can find wasteful spending. But only Congress is going to solve this problem. And I'll prove it. Go to the debt clock right now. Has the debt clock reversed? You know what? Ask me in two weeks, has the debt clock reversed based on what they're doing in the executive? Ask me in two months, has the debt clock reversed based on what they're doing in the executive? And the answer is going to be no on all of those times. Only Congress can solve this. So until the administration reaches out to Congress and Democrats, because they can't do anything in the House without Democratic votes, we're actually not going to solve these problems. But listen, I agree with the mission of DOGE. We should try to find wasteful spending wherever we can.”
