Nope. Nice try Elon. YOUR party is in the majority, and 38 members of YOUR party voted against this bill. You see Elon, governing is just a bit more complicated than sitting on your phone all day and retweeting stuff from a dude named Catturd. You & YOUR party own this.

Remind us who’s in the majority in the House again. Remind us who has the gavel.

Oh, honey, bless your heart, you blew up a bipartisan deal — welcome to the Pottery Barn rule!!

I’ll be curious if Mush goes on for several hours (trying to) set this talking point in stone like he did trashing the initial bipartisan deal

Using his platform to willfully mislead shouldn’t be considered as protected speech. This garbage heap is anti-American and needs to be shut down. He is dishonest to his core.
