Never-Trump Pundit Laughs At Idea Of Musk And Ramaswamy's 'Department of Government Efficiency'
HuffPost
Longtime Donald Trump critic George Conway dismissed the proposed advisory group as a "nonexistent department" during an appearance on MSNBC.
Commentator George Conway doesn’t seem worried about the damage social media platform owner Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy could do as the leaders of the proposed “Department of Government Efficiency.”
In an appearance on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” to talk about Donald Trump’s slate of potential political appointees on Tuesday, the longtime Trump critic was dismissive about Trump’s hypothetical cost-cutting agency.
He chuckled as he told anchor Alex Wagner that “DOGE,” a meme reference, is “just a nonexistent department” at this point.
“Can they bring it into existence by the sheer force of their own will?” Wagner wondered. “What do you think is the plan here?”
“First of all, it’s not going to be a governmental department, as I understand it, and there are actually rules and statutes that apply,” Conway explained.
