Less than 24 hours after billionaire Elon Musk did his exit interview with Donald Trump in televised Oval Office appearance, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) had a few things to say during an appearance on MSNBC.

Speaking with the co-hosts of "The Weekend," the popular Texas Democrat began by bidding the highly controversial Musk goodbye by laughing and joking, "Hallelujah is what I've got to say. Is it Sunday? Let us all give thanks to the good lord above."

She then got down the particulars of Musk's tenure after he foisted the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on the U.S. voters despite never being elected to office himself.

It's those constituents of ours, our citizens, that are being impacted the hardest by these cuts."

"And so here it is: you basically let this guy run wild and, honestly I feel like all of the cuts to federal employees there was nothing more than a distraction for the things that he really wanted to do, which is to make sure that there was no oversight over his companies, the companies that were under investigation this was to kind of keep us busy and distracted," she added.


Asked by co-host Eugene Daniels if the government will get back federal workers who have been forced out or left in disgust, Crockett immediately began shaking her head indicating "no."

"I mean. would you really want to work for the federal government at this moment?" she asked. "I mean, like, let's be honest. In reality, we have. been down as it relates to some of our federal workforce anyway. This is one reason that the Biden-Harris administration invested so much money in the Inflation Reduction Act. When it came to the IRS, because they wanted. to make sure that those people that were best trained to do those complicated audits of people's taxes, basically the very, very rich, making sure that we had the best. of the best to make sure that we could bring in additional income"
