Former Dem Rep. Roasts Schumer Over Musk Protest: ‘It’s Just So Depressing’ | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Former Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) voiced his displeasure after several of the heavy hitters in his party took to the streets to protest billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk's efforts to root out waste and fraud within the federal government.

    Videos circulated of prominent Democrats protesting Musk's involvement in President Donald Trump's administration. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) could be heard shouting, "We're gonna be in your face, we're gonna be on your a**." Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) warned the crowd that they only had days "to stop the destruction" of American democracy as they knew it.

    The clip that really made the rounds showed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), holding hands with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), as he chanted, "We will win!" and "We won't rest!"

    While Ryan did not say that he disagreed with the reason for the protest, he made it clear that he was unimpressed by its execution.

    "I just don't even know what to say anymore when I see this kind of stuff. Is it Saturday Night Live or real life? Does anyone really think this is the future of the country? This is the only alternative to Trump's America? It's just so depressing," he complained via X.

    Ryan was not the only Democrat to pan the protests - in fact, a CNN panel came to a similar conclusion on Tuesday evening as even Democrat commentator Bakari Sellers admitted he was not a fan.

    "I don't want to hear Chuck Schumer saying, 'We won't lose' and 'We won't rest.' I'd rather have a small business owner up there talking about the impact on them. I'd rather have somebody who was displaced, who was a black woman, who's worked hard to have her business out there chanting," he said.


    Republican commentator Scott Jennings thoroughly enjoyed the segment, first asking if host Abby Phillip could "play it again" and then adding, "Ladies and gentlemen: The American Left is so far off the rails, they're going to have to get Google Maps to find their way back. They're way gone right now, and it's glorious!"

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
