U.S. House Rep. Jasmine Crockett angered taxpayers by rejecting the idea of distributing $5,000 DOGE dividend checks to Americans.

Crockett, a Democrat who represents Texas, mocked Elon Musk‘s plan in an interview on ABC News. Musk said he would discuss the plan with President Donald Trump. The president later said he would consider it.

But Crockett told ABC News that lawmakers “are not in the business of giving out money.”

“Listen, [Trump is] just telling a lie. He’s not the one that had anything to do with the $1,200 refunds that people had during the midst of COVID, that was done by a Democratic House and Democratic Senate,” Crockett said. She said the stimulus checks were necessary during “a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.”

She added: “So, no, we are not in the business of giving out money. And honestly, I don’t know what $5,000 will do for you.”

Crockett’s attitude angered taxpayers who recently learned of massive fraud in the federal government, as a result of audits conducted by Musk and his DOGE team.

One X (Twitter) user wrote: “They gave [billions] to Ukraine. $10K debit cards to illegal migrants. What does she mean they aren’t in the business of giving out money?”

Another person wrote: “So suddenly we are not in the business of giving away money, unless you are an illegal or a democrat…”

A third person commented: “Hmm. Since she’s, no doubt, a millionaire based on [kickbacks], then $5000 would mean nothing to her.”
