‘This Is Not Normal!’ Democratic Senator Stunned By Elon Musk ‘Endorsing a Neo-Nazi Party Inside Germany’

CNN anchor Dana Bash asked Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) to react Friday to Elon Musk’s endorsement of a far-right party in Germany, which has long neo-Nazi ties.

“On his platform last night, Elon Musk endorsed the far-right German political party Alternative for Germany, AfD for short, saying, quote, ‘Only the AfD can save Germany.’ Now, this is a group that has been labeled as extremist by Germany’s own government. One of its founders has been charged in the past with promoting Nazi slogans. I saw that you noticed this on X. Can you talk about your reaction to this?” Bash asked the Democratic senator.

“Yeah. I mean, this is not normal. So AfD is essentially the neo-Nazi party in Germany. They exist to try to rehabilitate the image of the Nazi party. And they have all sorts of very dangerous ideas about ridding Germany of anyone who is not naturally born in that country. They are an extremist group,” Murphy replied, adding:

And it is just extraordinary that maybe the most important advisor to the president of the United States, somebody that has been, you know, parading around the halls of Congress as a key advisor to the president, is endorsing a neo-Nazi party inside Germany.

“What does it tell you?” Bash pressed.

“I mean, I don’t know what it tells me. What we know is that what Elon Musk thinks tends to eventually be what the president of United States thinks. And if the United States takes an official position in favor of neo-Nazis in Germany. I mean, it is absolutely catastrophic, absolutely catastrophic for the people of Germany, for Europe, and ultimately for the United States. So, listen, we saw that tweet overnight last night. And I think we should be talking more about what it means for Trump’s foreign policy if he’s going to be doing business with neo-Nazis abroad,” Murphy concluded.

Musk later replied to the segment on X, wildly claiming, “What a huge liar. The AfD policies are identical to those of the US Democratic Party when Obama took office! I don’t think there is a single difference.”
