During an interview, Rep. Jasmine Crockett compared meeting with DOGE leaders Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to meeting January 6 defendants in a Washington DC jail.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said Thursday she is open to the idea of meeting with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, comparing the rationale of doing so with a trip to see January 6 defendants in jail. Congressional Republicans are planning to work closely with Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, the pair co-leading President-elect Donald Trump's newly formed spending cuts project, the Department of Government Efficiency .
’s Nicolle Wallace remarked on her show that Musk and Ramaswamy have expressed an interest in meeting with Democrats the next time they visit, asking Crockett whether she would take them up on their offer. 'Oh, I would meet,' Crockett replied. 'Now, I don’t know that they want to meet with me. I would, absolutely.
Crockett was one of two Democrats who joined about a dozen Republican members of the House Oversight Committee in touring a Washington D.C. jail in March 2023 where some January 6 defendants were being held. 'Somebody’s got to be here to tell the truth,' Crockett said about the visit at the time. 'If we weren’t here, there would be no check for whatever it was that they said.'
