Chris Sununu, a Republican who served as governor of New Hampshire in the past, was reportedly reprimanded by CNN host Anderson Cooper during a discussion on the cable network this week on federal spending.
“It’s 23 days in here, guys, 23 days. You’re talking about $2.3 billion that was saved last year. These guys are saving $2.3 billion a day,” Sununu remarked.
“He’s giving very specific things, but he’s not actually giving any evidence of that,” Cooper said in response.
“It’s all going to come, because what they also said was, ‘If we have to go to Congress, we’ll go to Congress. We’ll show where it is,’” Sununu hit back.
“But some of the details that have come out, like the $59 million spent on luxury hotels, it’s actually not—” Cooper remarked before Sununu interrupted again.
“You’re talking about the FEMA money that was abused for migrants? That was FEMA money for migrants. That’s OK now?” the GOP leader asked.
“No, I’m not saying it’s OK. Don’t put words in my mouth. Don’t be a d‑‑‑. What I’m saying is the portrayal by him is just not factually accurate. He’s talking about luxury hotels.” Cooper said in response.
Musk has been met with strong opposition from Democrats and federal employees as a result of his efforts to reduce expenditure at the federal level and reorganize the government in accordance with Trump’s goals.
