NextImg:Jasmine Crockett Torches MAGA And Elon Musk With The Most Backhanded  Apology Ever
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Sunday sarcastically admitted she was wrong about a key part of President Donald Trump’s MAGA platform.

Trump has frequently claimed that immigrants were taking jobs from Americans, at times insisting that more than 100% of new jobs were going to immigrants.

“There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs,” Crockett admitted in a post on social media. “His name is Elon Musk.”

Tech billionaire Musk, who was born in South Africa, has been leading Trump’s effort to shrink the government and cut spending, which has led to agencies being gutted.

Crockett pointed out the impact, direct and indirect, that Musk’s cuts are already having around the nation:

“He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals), & those that are keeping us safe (FAA), meals on wheels workers, head start, and the list goes on, so I’ll be the bigger person and admit to MAGA that I was wrong when I said immigrants wouldn’t take our jobs. You were 1000 percent correct.”

Crockett said earlier this month that even some Republicans in Congress weren’t happy with Musk and were secretly rooting for him to fail.

“Now, will they come out publicly and say that? No, because they’re concerned about whether or not he’ll spend money in their next elections,” said on MSNBC as she urged her GOP colleagues “to rise up and do what is right” by speaking out.
