Is that 'effective messaging?' CNN anchor calls out rep who used slur at DOGE hearing

Raw Story  

CNN anchor Brianna Keilar called out a House Democrat for using a vulgar slur to label Elon Musk at Wednesday's DOGE oversight subcommittee meeting. Keilar asked Rep. Robert Garcia, "During the Hunter Biden affair, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who now chairs this subcommittee, she had put up some censored, but still quite revealing, photos of the first son who was nude and with alleged prostitutes -- photos that she said were taken from his laptop. After the video, Keilar asked, "Do you think that calling Elon Musk a 'd--k' is effective messaging for confronting what is a potentially an irreversible transformation of the U.S. "Well, he is a d--k," Garcia countered, "and I think he's also harming the American public in an enormous way. And so it's all important, but it's also important to get the attention of the American public and call Elon Musk out for what he is, and to make people know that Marjorie Taylor Greene is not a serious legislator, and she shouldn't be treated as such."
