Dem Rep's Spicy Words for Musk Go Viral: 'Classy as Ever'?

Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett ignited a social media storm after telling Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk to "f--- off." This latest outburst underscores her public opposition to the newly formed agency’s mission to slash government waste and spending.

"F--- off," Crockett bluntly stated to reporter Joe Gallina outside Capitol Hill on Tuesday when asked what she would say to Elon Musk if given the chance.

Crockett’s colorful reaction swiftly drew criticism from conservatives on social media, who took issue with her tone.

"The face of the American left, ladies and gentlemen," conservative account Johnny MAGA posted on X.

"Please make Jasmine Crockett the spokesperson of the Democrat Party," former GOP congressional candidate Kathleen Anderson posted on X.

"Classy as ever…," Washington Examiner White House correspondent Paul Bedard posted on X.

Crockett’s office has yet to comment on the matter.

Many Democrats in Congress have voiced strong criticism of Musk and DOGE, arguing that the agency's announced cuts are decimating vital government resources and being implemented too rapidly.

"DOGE is pretty cruel. Let's be blunt about that," Gov. Josh Green, D-Hawaii, stated during a press conference last week with other Democratic governors. "These are people in our states that have worked long careers, very dedicated servants, and they're getting kicked out of their lives."

A recent poll, touted by Musk on social media, indicates that a majority of Americans actually support DOGE's mission.

The Harvard CAPS-Harris poll revealed that most Americans favor reducing wasteful government spending. Voters largely agree on the need for a government agency focused on efficiency and believe DOGE is contributing to significant spending reductions.
