Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) thinks the Department of Government Efficiency is nothing but a corrupt wolf in sheep’s clothing.
The Democratic lawmaker discussed her role on the House Oversight Committee and why she believes President Donald Trump’s unelected cost-cutting task force is a “scam” during an appearance on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on Tuesday night.
Crockett explained how her committee was already tasked with sniffing out “waste, fraud and abuse” and ensuring government accountability long before Elon Musk’s budget-slashing initiative arrived in Washington.
“There was already a DOGE and it was you guys?” host Colbert asked, before pointing out that members of the Oversight Committee are actually elected officials, unlike the members of DOGE.
The congresswoman then said, “DOGE is nothing but a cover-up. It’s a scam.”
