'Scuttle entire bill': CNN host hits back as Republican gripes that Dems 'demonize' Musk

Raw Story  

CNN anchor Brianna Keilar hit back with straight talk as a Republican on her show began complaining about Democrats “demonizing” Elon Musk Friday. Rep. Dan Meuser took to the network to defend the rejection of Speaker Mike Johnson’s proposed spending bill Thursday night — a move that plunged D.C. into chaos and threatens to shut down the government days before Christmas. Keilar asked Meuser about this — and the fact that some Republicans, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, have suggested Musk replace Johnson as speaker of the House. “When was the last time you saw a presidential adviser, or the adviser to an incoming president, scuttle an entire bill before Congress?” Meuser responded, “You know, Brianna, it wasn't scuttled that way.
