'Let's have order in this country': Democrat sparks House chaos by demanding Musk testify
February 05, 2025
Chaos erupted in a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing after Democrats called on Elon Musk to testify.
Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) quickly recognized Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), who moved to table that motion, and the motion was then seconded by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), and Democrats spoke out after the chairman said the issue was not open for debate.
"Mr. Chairman, I think it's outrageous that this committee will not even entertain a motion," said Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM), as Comer spoke over her. "Somebody that's breaking the law and dismantling our federal agencies and firing federal employees and [accessing] federal data. You will not even entertain a motion to bring him in front of the Oversight Committee? Yes, let's have order in this country."

"You're out of order," Comer replied. "You know you're out of order, you know the rules of this committee."
"Mr. Elon Musk is out of order and dismantling our country," Stansbury added, as a man can be heard derisively muttering "good God."
