<p>Even the Democrats on CNN couldn&#8217;t defend the left-wing protests — featuring Democratic Party leaders — against billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and his work with President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>During a panel discussion that aired Tuesday during &#8220;CNN NewsNight&#8221; with host Abby Phillip, leftist commentator Bakari Sellers joined former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson and Republican pundit Scott Jennings in mocking the protests that culminated in Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer chanting, &#8220;We will win!&#8221; and &#8220;We won&#8217;t rest!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">BRUTAL: The Democrats&#39; anti-Musk protest gets laughed off the CNN table <a href="https://t.co/TJkC1oJddu">pic.twitter.com/TJkC1oJddu</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) <a href="https://twitter.com/BonillaJL/status/1886990843141075353?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 5, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Phillip began with a series of video clips of the protests, suggesting that the Democrats involved viewed Musk — and perhaps Trump as well — as &#8220;a piñata in search of a stick.&#8221; The clips highlighted Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), and Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) as they screamed about Musk&#8217;s involvement.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are gonna be in your face, we are gonna be on your ass,&#8221; Crockett warned.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have days to stop the destruction of our democracy!&#8221; Murphy shouted.</p>
<p>As the clip wrapped, even Phillip was attempting to suppress her laughter, and Jennings was doubled over.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so sorry, can we play it again?&#8221; he asked, but Phillip went to Carlson for the first reaction.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Democrats need a real leader, ok? They need a real leader, which currently does not exist in the Democratic Party,&#8221; Carlson said. &#8220;And they have been completely flat-footed with the entire Trump presidency for the last two weeks and Elon Musk. I said on CNN months ago that Elon Musk would be the most influential advisor to President Trump, and that is proving to be true whether you like it or not. But Democrats should have had a plan for this. They knew it was coming.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sellers, despite being a Democrat himself, made it clear that he was unimpressed by the protest efforts: &#8220;I’m fired up and ready to go, can’t you see it in my face?&#8221;</p>
<p>Sellers suggested that the real problem with the protests was that the wrong people were in the spotlight: &#8220;I don’t want to hear Chuck Schumer saying, &#8216;We won’t lose&#8217; and &#8216;We won’t rest.&#8217; I’d rather have a small business owner up there talking about the impact on them. I’d rather have somebody who was displaced, who was a black woman, who’s worked hard to have her business out there chanting and talking about —&#8221;</p>
<p class="qualified qualified-2">&#8220;And they need to pick their targets because there is a risk here that they end up going to bat over things that Americans are like, &#8216;What does this have to do with me?'&#8221; Phillip interrupted, adding her own two cents to the mix.</p>
<p>Jennings, clearly still enjoying the content, added, &#8220;I think the highlight reel that you just played, spliced with the highlight reel of all the people trying to run the Democratic National Committee at their organizational meeting, ought to be put together. And we ought to take money from the Republican National Committee and play it on a loop.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ladies and gentlemen: The American Left is so far off the rails, they’re going to have to get Google Maps to find their way back. They’re way gone right now, and it’s glorious!&#8221; he crowed.</p>
