During a panel on CNN's Laura Coates Live, Scott Jennings defended the controversial cost-cutting measures implemented by Elon Musk and the Trump administration while criticizing former President Joe Biden. Jennings argued that politicians often claim to want to eliminate waste but fail to support actual cuts. He highlighted the backlash these efforts face, noting that while the goal is popular, the implementation is met with resistance from those who benefit from existing funding. Democratic strategist Keith Boykin countered Jennings, asserting that Americans should be concerned about Musk's involvement in these cuts, underscoring the tension between elected officials and private sector influences in governance.
It's universally lauded, but then when you try to do it, it's universally opposed by every Democrat and every, you know, person who's got a specific piece of the pie in Washington D.C., Jennings replied.
Elon Musk was not on the ballot last year. In fact, they ran, they ran pretending that he was not was not even involved with this.
The disconnect is all politicians say they want to do it, only Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to do it, he added.
