Connecticut Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro gave a furious speech in the House during a debate over continuing resolution legislation to keep the government funded.

The representative, who has been in Congress since 1991, made a spectacle of herself as she ranted about “President Musk,” a dig at President-elect Donald Trump as she insinuated that Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk is the person who is really in charge.

“We agreed on a bill, and you know what? They got scared because President Musk told them, President Musk said ‘Don’t do it, don’t do it, shut the government down,’” the representative, who for some reason at the age of 81 has purple hair, said.

“What does he know about what people go through when the government shuts down?” The 17-term lawmaker with an annual salary of $174,000 continued on. “Are his employees furloughed? Hell no! Is he furloughed? No! And when you shut the government down, people don’t get paid. And maybe if none of us got paid if the government got shut down, some people on the other side of the aisle would feel differently about where we’re going and this effort!” she said.

“Think about it: Biden, McCarthy, deal, come together. Next day, walk away! Johnson, Schumer, deal. Next day, walk away!” she said.
