Democratic U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut unleashed a headline-grabbing rant Thursday on the floor of the House of Representatives over the failure of a funding bill that would have kept the government running — and she took particular aim at X CEO Elon Musk.
“And you know what? They got scared because President Musk told them, President Musk said, ‘Don’t do it! Don’t do it! Shut the government down!’” DeLauro yelled on the House floor.
‘Are his employees furloughed? Hell, no! Is he furloughed? No!’
President-elect Donald Trump backed Speaker Mike Johnson’s new 116-page continuing resolution Thursday, but 38 House Republicans voted to block it.
DeLauro — who’s 81, sports a bit of purple hair and got her first tattoo last year — took further aim at Musk.
