Tehnološki vizionar i istaknuti Trumpov saveznik Elon Musk ponovno je uzburkao javnost, ovaj put oštro kritizirajući 158 demokrata koji su glasali protiv deportacije ilegalnih imigranata osuđenih za seksualne zločine. Musk, poznat po svojoj direktnosti na platformi X (nekadašnjem Twitteru), pozvao je na hitno uklanjanje ovih zastupnika s dužnosti.
„Nema izgovora. Objavite imena svih koji su glasali protiv ovog zakona. Svaki od njih mora otići“, objavio je Musk u subotu, pridružujući se valu kritika koje su uslijedile nakon glasanja u rujnu.
158 House Democrats just voted against a bill that would force illegal aliens who are guilty of sex crimes to be deported.

Zakon o nasilju nad ženama od strane ilegalnih stranaca, koji je prošao u Zastupničkom domu zahvaljujući podršci svih 215 republikanaca i 51 demokrata, predviđa deportaciju ilegalnih imigranata osuđenih za seksualne zločine i obiteljsko nasilje. No, čak 158 demokrata glasalo je protiv ovog zakona, pravdajući se da on „demonizira imigrante“.
Komentatori na društvenim mrežama nisu štedjeli riječi. „Kako zaštita osuđenih predatora pomaže bilo kome – posebno njihovim žrtvama?“ pitao se voditelj Mario Nawfal, dok je Musk dodatno pojačao kritike tvrdeći da je deportacija ovakvih pojedinaca „osnovna javna sigurnost“.
Među demokratima koji su glasali protiv zakona istaknuli su se neka poznata imena poput Jerryja Nadlera, Adama Schiffa i Nancy Pelosi, što je dodatno podiglo tenzije.
Musk je ranije najavio da će podržati umjerene demokrate kako bi uklonio „radikale“ iz američke politike. Sada, uoči formiranja novog predsjedničkog savjetodavnog odbora pod vodstvom Donalda Trumpa, Musk i njegovi saveznici jasno poručuju: tolerancija prema nasilnicima nije opcija.
For anyone doubting the severity and depravity of the mass gang rapes of little girls in Britain, go to the source material and read the court transcripts. I did.

Ovo pitanje već izaziva burne reakcije u Senatu, gdje zakon čeka daljnju raspravu. Hoće li Muskovi komentari dodatno potaknuti politički pritisak ili polarizirati naciju? Jedno je sigurno – rasprava o granicama sigurnosti i ljudskih prava daleko je od završetka.
