Republicans will 'burn the country into the ground' for Elon and Trump: GOP adviser
During an appearance on MSNBC early Sunday morning, the former campaign manager for Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) lashed out at where the Republican party has gone under Donald Trump with billionaire Elon Musk apparently calling the shots.
She then turned her ire on House Majority Leader Mike Johnson (R-LA) when asked about his budget proposal that may be voted on this week with an eye on keeping the government open until September.
Speaking with the hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend," Lucy Caldwell stated, "It's an important first test culturally around how these Republicans are going to do business. I continue to think that Democrats are engaged in an asymmetrical warfare with these Republicans, where they are still trying to make the case that in a paradigm that would require us to believe that Republicans are reasonable and rational and coming to the table, and that we there are good Republicans who are out there who are just going to come policy-make."

"Newsflash, Sen., Mitch McConnell is basically one of our leading Republican members of the resistance –– so that's where we are," she added. "So I think that it's really going to become incumbent on Democrats this week as we go to the Hill and start hearing arguments for and against, that they really get out there loudly and aggressively."
She continued, "I think that people like [Hawaii Democratic Senator] Brian Schatz are doing a fantastic job of doing this, but we need to channel more of those voices. We need to channel more of these voices to show exactly what's going on with people like Mike Johnson, with Elon Musk, that this is just chaos."
"There is no unifying plan, and they will burn the country into the ground, you know, out of service to dear leader, Elon and Donald, so buckle up," she accused.
