‘Losing their minds’: Dem lawmakers face backlash for invoking ‘unhinged’ violent rhetoric against Musk

by February 5, 2025
written by February 5, 2025

Several Democratic lawmakers drew the ire of conservatives on social media after showing up at a rally against Elon Musk’s DOGE efforts and riling up the crowd with disparaging comments about the Tesla CEO, including calling him a Nazi.

‘Elon Musk is a Nazi nepo baby, a godless lawless billionaire, who no one elected,’ Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., said at a rally outside the Treasury Department where protesters were speaking out against DOGE.

‘Elon, this is the American people. This is not your trashy Cybertruck that you can just dismantle, pick apart, and sell the pieces of.’

At one point during her remarks, Pressley said, ‘We will see you in the court, in Congress, in the streets.’

‘Elon Musk is seizing the power that belongs to the American people,’ Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said while shaking her fist alongside Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. ‘We are here to fight back.’

‘We are gonna be in your face, we are gonna be on your a–es, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like, and this ain’t it,’ Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said at the rally. 

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was also in attendance and told the crowd that Musk’s DOGE efforts are ‘taking away everything we have.’

‘God d—it shut down the Senate!’ Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., said. ‘WE ARE AT WAR!’

Conservatives on social media quickly pushed back on the comments, with some accusing Pressley of inciting violence.

‘These people are totally sane…,’ Greg Price, Trump ’24 deputy rapid response director, sarcastically posted on X along with a supercut of clips from the rally. 

‘THIS IS A CALL FOR VIOLENCE!’ video journalist Nick Sortor posted on X in response to Pressley. ‘The DOJ MUST investigate this!’

‘Rep Ayanna Pressley just called on her followers to agitate in the streets,’ LibsofTikTok posted on X. ‘Typical Democrat doing what they do best: Calling for violence and chaos.’

‘Democrat lawmakers are losing their minds now that their USAID scam is exposed,’ conservative influencer Paul Szypula posted on X. ‘Pressley needs to be censured for inciting violence.’

‘Making Jasmine Crockett the face of your party is certainly a choice and one I highly encourage,’ Red State writer Bonchie posted on X.

‘Rep. Jasmine Crockett is totally unhinged,’ conservative commentator Ben Kew posted on X. 

‘A screeching Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren says Elon Musk is ‘seizing power from the American people’ by not allowing congress members to waste taxpayer money,’ Collin Rugg, co-owner of Trending Politics, posted on X. ‘I knew Trump’s 2nd presidency would be good but didn’t realize it would be this good.’

‘This sounds like a call for insurrection to me,’ Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., posted on X in response to McIver. ‘CC: @TheJusticeDept @FBI.’

Fox News Digital reached out to the office of Reps. Pressley, Crockett and McIver.

The Democrat lawmakers have come out against Musk after he was granted access to a Treasury department called the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which disburses trillions in payments each year, including Social Security checks and federal salaries, through DOGE, which is tasked with reducing federal spending. 

‘The @DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups,’ Musk wrote on X in defense of his actions. ‘They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Not even once.’

In a letter Tuesday to federal lawmakers, a Treasury Department official said a tech executive working with Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency will have ‘read-only access’ to the government’s payment system.
