New Sen. Jim Justice, R-W.Va., is voicing frustration over what he sees as excessive government spending, calling out Senate Democrats for opposing cost-cutting measures under the Trump administration.
Justice, who flipped a longtime Democratic Senate seat in November, said he has been shocked by what he has witnessed in Washington since taking office.
Justice wrote last month on social media platform X, “I’ve joined 25 other Republican governors in supporting President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Initiative. The goal is to streamline government, cut wasteful spending, and balance the federal budget. Let’s make it happen.”
“Why in the world you … absolutely defend this unbelievable amount of waste? And they continue to do it,” he said.
“At the end of the day, we elected President Trump, and let him do his job,” he said. “For crying out loud, let him get his team in place and let him do his job.”
“We’ve gotta wake up in America and get ourselves on the right footing… Thank goodness for Elon Musk, that he’s absolutely willing to do this and asking for nothing,” Justice said.
Lambert here: “For nothing.” Hardly….
