It was, therefore, no surprise that, when asked by Call to Activism’s Joe Gallina whether she had any words for Musk, she had two pretty unequivocal ones.

The MAGA crowd wasn’t happy.

This is the energy dems need to bring. Waxing poetically about saving democracy and being polite clearly doesn’t resonate with the right wing NPCs willing to go down with the ship. Let’s not mince words.
