Statement on Donald Trump's
Interview with Elon Musk
Donald Trump's extremism and dangerous
Project 2025 agenda is a feature not a glitch of
his campaign, which was on full display for
those unlucky enough to listen in tonight
during whatever that was on X.com.
Trump's entire campaign is in service of people
like Elon Musk and himself - self-obsessed
rich guys who will sell out the middle class and
who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.

@w7voa I am sad they didn’t say “in the year of our lord 2024”.
@w7voa Waltz is personally writing these pressers isn't he...
@w7voa
I put an "X" on X, the #evilBillionaire #maga propaganda tool

🤣🤣Ouch🤣🤣
It is so refreshing to see the Harris Walz team push back hard - and to do so with a sense of humor.
@w7voa I love the “livestream” dig. Harris really does make me laugh.
