During a segment on MSNBC, Joy Reid criticized Republicans' unquestioning allegiance to Donald Trump, suggesting that they would comply with extreme directives, including selling the U.S. to Russia. In her discussion with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Reid highlighted the influence of figures like Elon Musk in governmental discussions and questioned the efficacy of passing budgets, arguing that they may be decided by non-elected officials instead. While Jeffries expressed hope that a slim Republican majority could be countered, Reid expressed skepticism about Republicans' independence from Trump's direction.
But we've seen, Leader Jeffries, that there aren't three. There aren't any. If Donald Trump announced tomorrow that he was selling the United States to Vladimir Putin personally... every single Republican would say, Yes, sir, and vote for it. We already have seen their behavior.
What's the point of passing a budget if Republicans have already conceded that they are not in charge, that you or the Congress is not in charge of spending money? Elon Musk is.
