'He's Just A Dick': US Senator Has No Regrets Over Calling Elon Musk An 'A**hole'
HuffPost
Sen. Tina Smith wasn't "sugarcoating" her response to CNN's Brianna Keilar when asked if she's communicating "the stakes of the moment that the country’s in."
Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) on Wednesday defended her blunt message to Elon Musk last month, when she declared that “he’s just a dick” and made the “ultimate dick boss move.”
Smith made the comments on Musk’s X platform, calling him a “billionaire asshole” boss over his insistence that federal workers send an email about what they’d done in the last week. On Wednesday, she was asked about her posts by CNN’s Brianna Keilar, who noted that Democratic voters want “more” from her party and want the party to oppose President Donald Trump “in a more fulsome way.”
“So, I mean, I ask you this sincerely, like, what’s the value in that kind of language and communication? Is that the best way to communicate the stakes of the moment that the country’s in?” Keilar asked.
Smith swiftly replied, “Well, what I’m hearing from voters at home and what I heard on your show is that people want to see some fight.”
“They want to see some urgency in this moment that we’re in and they, I think with that tweet that I did, it touched a nerve with millions of people,” she continued.
