Scott Jennings Rampages Across CNN, Destroys Van Jones and Then a Full Panel on Elon Musk
Bonchie
If you've been reading political news over the last several days, you know Democrats have a new talking point. As the tale goes, far from the humble, people-led affair of the Biden administration, the federal government has now become an "oligarchy" ruled by Elon Musk. Why? Because the billionaire said Congress shouldn't pass a pork-filled 1,500-page continuing resolution.
The horror, right?
Naturally, the attacks on Musk and incoming president Donald Trump, who is now being touted as a "puppet," were picked up by CNN's liberal analysts. What they forgot is that Scott Jennings exists, and for the time being, there's some actual truth being shared on the left-wing network.
JONES: There are big fancy college words called oligarchy, and plutocracy, that folks tonight might want to look up. It's called "ruled by rich folks," and that's what we're dealing with. A bunch of rich folks, two rich people threw a fit online and threw the government upside down. Now, did the bill go from big to little? What happened was that the bipartisan deal that got struck by elected officials of our country was overthrown by two billionaires throwing a fit, and it's not even January.
I'll get to Jennings' smackdown momentarily, but I want to address the framing here. If Jones believes that the outrage over the 1,500-page CR was restricted to Elon Musk, he's delusional. The popular outcry was extensive and began before the Tesla and SpaceX owner said a word. What Jones is really saying, though he won't admit it, is that social media sites like X are giving normal people a voice in their government they haven't previously had. At the end of the day, it was "elected officials" who decided to not vote for the original deal. That they were influenced by the masses is a good thing.
