CNN Republican commentator shredded Democrats for accusing Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk of being a puppet master to President-elect Donald Trump.

He said it was “pretty rich” to make that accusation now that Democrats, and the media, have admitted that President Joe Biden has been suffering from cognitive decline since the start of his presidency.

It came after Connecticut Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro ranted about “President Musk” during a speech she gave as there was a debate about a continuing resolution to fund the government.

“We agreed on a bill, and you know what? They got scared because President Musk told them, President Musk said ‘Don’t do it, don’t do it, shut the government down,’” the purple-haired DeLauro yelled. “What does he know about what people go through when the government shuts down?” she said. “Are his employees furloughed? Hell no! Is he furloughed? No! And when you shut the government down, people don’t get paid. And maybe if none of us got paid if the government got shut down, some people on the other side of the aisle would feel differently about where we’re going and this effort!”

“As you hear the congresswoman, you know, she’s putting the blame for this squarely on Elon Musk first and foremost, and Trump after that. And that would be the timeline of how this played out. What do you say to her?” CNN anchor Erin Burnett said.

“She said, who’s the president right now? I mean, who’s the president-elect? But she asked the right question first. Who is the president right now? Joe Biden, who we rarely hear from in the Wall Street Journal reported today, has been diminished for the last four years. And we’ve had unelected people running around, running the federal government, apparently,” Jennings responded.

“So if that is what they’re worried about, if they’re worried about people who aren’t Donald Trump, you know, running the government or having influence, I wonder where they’ve been the last four years. Now, this doesn’t excuse anybody’s behavior on Capitol Hill tonight, but I think it’s pretty rich for Democrats to be worried about people who aren’t Donald Trump having influence when the current president, a Democrat, is AWOL and apparently not able to execute the duties of the office,” he added.
