Senator Chris Murphy joined ABC News and explained that Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s attacks on federal agencies are unconstitutional, immoral, and illegal — and are the precursor for taking over the federal government by the billionaire class.
Musk paid over $250 million dollars to Trump’s campaign to attack and control the federal government. This is not what the Founding Fathers wanted when they wrote the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
He said that this is the biggest scandal since Watergate. Donald Trump is trying to seize power in a little illegal fashion and must be stopped at all costs.
RADDATZ: You have used incredibly strong language, a constitutional crisis, grossly unconstitutional, pretty alarming language.
MURPHY: Yeah, listen, I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power and for corrupt purposes.
The president wants to be able to decide how and where money is spent so that he can reward his political friends, he can punish his political enemies.
That is the evisceration of democracy.
You stand that next to the wholesale endorsement of political violence with the pardons given to every single January 6th rider, including the most violent who beat police officers over the head with baseball bats.
And you can see what he’s trying to do here.
