Democrats whining about Elon Musk and DOGE’s successful efforts to drain the swamp have apparently forgotten their history and the fact that the Internet never forgets.
As The Gateway Pundit has reported, Democrats have for weeks protested and threatened violence against Musk and Trump simply for daring to carry out the promises Trump made during the presidential campaign. Earlier this month, a so-called comedian even called for their assassinations.
Now, Musk and WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt are delivering a brutal reminder to these crying leftists. They shared video footage showing former Democrat presidents calling for the exact same things as DOGE.
Such ‘leaders’ include Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.
The Gateway Pundit has reported intensively on this. You can read it here (Obama) and here (Clinton).
In a video that Leavitt amplified on Sunday, Obama and Biden can be seen calling for budget reform and combating government waste just like DOGE is doing right now.
“We can’t sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars that have outlived their usefulness or exists solely for the power of politicians, lobbyists, or interest groups,” Obama states at the start of the footage.
Biden, who was then VP, follows by saying Americans are “entitled to accountability to make sure we’re using the dollars for what we said it was for.
“We are going to go through our federal budget…line-by-line, eliminating these programs we don’t need and ensuring that those we do need to operate in a sensible, cost-effective way,” Obama says in the succeeding clip.
In another part of the video, Obama discusses eliminating unnecessary spending while Biden talks about his and Obama’s efforts to instill an entirely new culture that every succeeding administration will hopefully follow.
In her caption, Leavitt mocked the Democrats for throwing tantrums over DOGE’s successful efforts to shrink the bureaucracy, noting the laughable hypocrisy.
“To all of the Democrats who are planning to protest this week, here’s an explanation on DOGE, from your party’s own beloved leaders!” Leavitt wrote.

On Monday, Musk shared video footage of Clinton and then-VP Al Gore not only calling for cutting the size of government but actually taking multiple actions.
Musk also noted the hypocritical cries from leftists.
“What DOGE is doing is similar to Clinton/Gore Dem policies of the 1990s,” Musk wrote. “The current Dem party has just gone so crazy far left that it isn’t recognizable anymore!”
