Clyburn brushes off Musk's plan to fund moderates in Democratic districts
Fox News
Rep. Jim Clyburn dismissed Elon Musk's statement that he planned to fund moderates in key Democratic races on social media, arguing that Democrats weren't afraid of Musk's money.
"Well, you outwork them. That’s what you do. You’re at work now. Look, I’m a child of the 60s. I grew up here in South Carolina. I missed a vote yesterday because I was a part of eulogizing the gentleman from very modest backgrounds who brought that flag down off the statehouse dome and started that effort all over the south to get rid of all of these Confederate emblems. We did that with a lot of money against us," Clyburn began. Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
Musk posted to social media, responding to a video of Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., and said "forgot to mention that I’m also going to be funding moderate candidates in heavily Democrat districts, so that the country can get rid of those who don’t represent them."
