Progressive Democrat Pramila Jayapal told a recent town hall that the Department of Government Efficiency effort wasn’t about reducing the size and cost of the federal government.
Instead, it was an excuse to “implement a far-right, authoritarian, white ultranationalist Christian ideology under a dictatorial leader — otherwise known as American fascism,” the Washington state congresswoman said.
But when an audience member asked Jayapal to explain “what the Democrats in the House and in general are doing right now to envision what we stand for, not what we stand against,” she came away disappointed. Jayapal offered up getting rid of the Electoral College.
“I don’t think she really answered my question,” the woman told The Seattle Times. “What I am really craving … is Democrats being really creative about what we’re going to do and offer instead.”
