Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) delivered a brutal reality check to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) after the Democrat lawmaker referred to Elon Musk as the “co-president” in the Senate.
Warren had launched into an unhinged rant, taking aim at President Donald Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency chief Musk.
The heated exchange took place during a Senate Banking Committee hearing, the Gateway Pundit reported.
Warren was clearly rattled by the push from Trump and Musk to shake up the federal government.
She used the Democrats’ favorite strategy of attempting to play on Trump’s ego by suggesting Musk is a shadow leader.
Warren then absurdly referred to Musk as Trump’s “co-president.”
“We are at an unprecedented moment,” Warren said.
“Our financial systems are facing huge risks from the economic chaos of President Trump and his Co-President Elon Musk.”
Unsurprisingly, Warren also griped about Musk’s role in freezing the bloated Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
Democrats overwhelmingly support the agency and its unchecked regulatory overreach.
Britt, refusing to let Warren’s claims go unanswered, hit back with a dose of reality.
She reminded the Massachusetts senator that Trump is simply following through on what he promised voters.
“President Trump ran on this,” Britt told Warren.
“I mean, he said, ‘We’re going to look for wasteful spending across our government.’”
She then reminded the Democrats that America’s financial situation is dire after four years of Biden-Harris.
“That’s not only fiscally irresponsible, it is actually morally irresponsible,” Britt warned.
“And the difference in this administration and the last administration is that President Trump is actually the final arbiter.”
Not letting Warren’s hypocrisy slide, Britt reminded everyone who was actually running the show in the previous administration.
She noted that former President Joe Biden was clearly not running the country.
“And it’s interesting that none of you had anything to say over the last four years when it is clear that our commander-in-chief was not in command,” Britt argued.
She then delivered the final blow:
“And if we’re going to use the term ‘co-president,’ then let’s go back and say ‘Co-President Jake Sullivan,’ ‘Co-President Ron Klain,’ ‘Co-President Jill Biden.’
“I mean, it seems that some of the biggest decisions were made during the president’s afternoon nap time,” she added.
“I just think we need to be a little bit more honest about what has been laid out and what’s actually occurring.”
WATCH:
Warren’s attempt to discredit Trump and Musk backfired spectacularly.
Instead, Britt turned the tables, exposing the real leadership failures of the past four years.
As usual, the Left can’t handle a strong, competent Republican woman standing her ground.
Nevertheless, Britt delivers the truth with precision.
