Fox News’s John Roberts Gushes Over Elon Musk-Vivek Ramaswamy Partnership: ‘Two of the Very Best People’

 

Fox News anchor John Roberts gushed on Wednesday over Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy leading the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

President-elect Donald Trump recently appointed Musk and Ramaswamy to help lead the agency as part of his administration’s focus on cutting wasteful government.

However, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) criticized their appointments by claiming the department would be ineffective because “two people” are doing “the work of one person” in what amounts to an expansion of government.

During a conversation with Mollie Hemingway, Roberts responded to Warren’s comments by praising Musk and Ramaswamy as the “two of the very best people that you could find” for the new role.

ROBERTS: The Democrats are ridiculing this new DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, headed up by Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk saying, it takes two people to find government efficiency. I mean, I think if you’re going to get two people to look into this, those are probably two of the very best people that you could find.

HEMINGWAY: Well, also, we’ve had decades of Washington, D.C., where they’ve put tens of thousands of people working on the problem of government waste, fraud and abuse. And clearly, that hasn’t done the trick. Having two people who are outside the beltway, outside that bubble, looking at things with a completely new approach might be what’s needed. It’s going to be very difficult to fix these decades of problems in the administrative state with a bureaucracy that is bloated, unaccountable, unresponsive, unelected, and yet thinks that they get to run the country. But if you would put anyone on it, I think Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy might be the two best.

ROBERTS: You know, memo to Democrats, this is a guy who can catch rockets. I think he can root out waste, fraud and abuse.
