'Absolute scandal': Disgusted lawmaker hits Trump for abandoning U.S. family in riot zone
02/12/25 7:50 PM
Rep. Don Beyer (R-VA) reacted with horror on Wednesday to a legal complaint filed against the Trump administration on behalf of an American family that had to scramble to escape Congo after X owner Elon Musk shut down the United States Agency for International Development.The complaint in question was first flagged on X by Politico reporter Robbie Gramer and it featured testimony of a USAID worker who alleged that "the chaos of the Trump administration's haphazard and extra-Constitutional shutdown of USAID has caused my family and me immense emotional distress by contributing to the already intense sense of panic and uncertainty of the riots in Kinshasa."As Reuters has reported, rioters in Kinshasa stormed embassies of multiple nations late last month to protest what they said was the Rwandan government's support for the M23 militia movement.ALSO READ: 'Shakedown': Alarm raised over traffic stops that net Texas County, OK, millionsReacting to this, Beyer expressed total disgust at the actions of Musk and President Donald Trump."This is an absolute scandal," he charged. "Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad without approving grant waivers to provide their safe return to the United States. They lost their possessions, their housing, and their pay, and the whole time Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations." — (@)
'Change their tone': MTG scolds taunting Dems
02/12/25 10:00 PM
Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), chairwoman of the DOGE oversight subcommittee, did not appreciate the "tone" of some House Democrats who taunted President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the chairwoman herself at Wednesday's meeting.Greene scolded them for their antics on social media, writing, "Unfortunately, some of the Democrats in today’s @DOGECommittee ignored waste, fraud, and abuse. Instead, they used their five minutes to attack President Trump, attack Elon Musk, and attack me. If they don’t change their tone, they are going to stay on the losing side of this issue."One Democrat in particular, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), went way out on a limb to attack both Musk and Greene.During the session, Garcia said, "Now, I find it ironic, of course, that our chairwoman, Congresswoman Greene, is in charge of running this committee. Now, in the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a 'd--- pic' in our oversight congressional hearing. So, I thought I'd bring one as well."

He's also the world's richest man. He was the biggest political donor in the last election. He has billions of dollars in conflicts of interest."Garcia doubled down on CNN when anchor Brianna Keilar asked, "Do you think that calling Elon Musk a 'd---' is effective messaging for confronting what is a potentially an irreversible transformation of the U.S. government?""Well, he is a d---," Garcia countered, "and I think he's also harming the American public in an enormous way."Garcia then explained his reasoning for the spectacle."Marjorie Taylor Greene talks about having decorum, about bipartisanship. This is the person that lies more than anybody else in the entire Congress. And, so, if she is going to make a mockery of hearings, I want to make sure that us as Democrats are bringing that same level of energy," said Garcia.Watch Greene below or at this link.
