Lawmaker Quits DOGE Caucus Live On TV With ‘Dynamite’ Slam Of Elon Musk | EUROtoday

Rep. Val Hoyle (D-Ore.) on Thursday introduced to NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo that she is leaving the fledgling, efficiency-seeking DOGE Caucus in Congress — and she or he immediately blamed billionaire Elon Musk’s actions in President Donald Trump’s second time period for her resignation.

Hoyle argued it’s “just not possible” for the bipartisan group of lawmakers that make up the caucus to have any success with their mission to chop fraud and public spending waste and be “good stewards of taxpayer dollars” when Musk is simply “blowing things up.”

“It’s like trying to replace your roof when someone is throwing dynamite through the window into your living room,” she stated.

“It’s just not possible. So, I’m leaving the DOGE Caucus,” Hoyle revealed to Cuomo. “I will continue to do the work to find efficiencies, but right now, I just don’t think it’s possible with what’s happening.”

Watch the interview right here:

President Donald Trump has tasked Musk, the world’s richest individual, with working the non-official Department of Government Efficiency that seeks to establish after which remove crimson tape and public spending.

Hoyle stated the caucus wasn’t working alongside Musk and its members have been “operating in good faith” in looking for value financial savings. Musk, although, has triggered controversy with a lot of his strikes, together with his relentless assaults on and bid to nix the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Cuomo tried to persuade Hoyle to stay within the caucus.

“You have to stay,” the anchor stated. “You guys are going to be the first line of defense.”

But she wasn’t having it. “If I thought that I had any influence, or my Republican colleagues had any influence, I’d stay. But we don’t have influence,” she replied.

“If I could control or even give feedback to Elon Musk that I thought he’d listen to, I’d stay,” Hoyle added. “But I don’t see that’s productive because, again, he’s just blowing up the system and he’s accountable to nobody. President Trump handed over the keys to the White House, to the Treasury, to government, to an unelected billionaire, and you know, it’s, quite frankly, very disturbing.”
