She’s accusing Elon Musk.
In a recent statement, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) made unfounded claims against Elon Musk, accusing him of potentially using his technological expertise to interfere with elections. Her comments came after former President Trump’s address, during which Waters expressed frustration over the president’s focus on the tragic stories of victims. Waters argued that Trump was trying to divert attention from what she considered more important issues.
During Trump’s speech, several families affected by tragic events, particularly those related to immigration policies, were highlighted. For instance, the parents of Laken Riley, a young woman killed by an illegal immigrant, spoke out about the consequences of poor border security. Despite the clear connection between the issue and public safety, many Democrats continue to oppose legislative efforts like the Laken Riley Act, which aims to prevent the release of criminal illegal immigrants.
Other victims who shared their stories during Trump’s address included parents like January Littlejohn, whose daughter transitioned without consent, and Payton McNabb, a young athlete injured by a transgender competitor. These cases underscored concerns over radical gender ideologies affecting children and women’s sports. Nevertheless, Democrats have continued to advocate for policies that support gender-affirming treatments for minors and transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.
Additionally, Trump’s speech featured Stephanie Diller, the widow of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, who was killed by a criminal released despite having numerous prior arrests. This tragic story illustrated the failures of the criminal justice system, specifically how repeat offenders are often allowed back on the streets. Trump’s support for law and order, particularly in major cities plagued by crime, has led to tensions with Democrats who advocate for softer approaches to crime and justice.
Throughout the address, families and victims emphasized the urgent need for reform in various areas, including border security, judicial accountability, and the protection of children’s rights. Despite these concerns, Waters and other Democrats remain focused on opposing Trump’s policies, leading to ongoing clashes over these critical issues.
