Author and political commentator David Brooks sparked outrage and calls for the defunding of PBS after outrageous comments about Elon Musk.
The New York Times columnist likened the billionaire Tesla CEO to infamous mass murderers in history on “PBS Newshour” as he blasted the cuts to USAID under Musk’s leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency.
“So far, 55,000 adults have died of AIDS in the four months since Trump was elected; 6,000 children are dead because of what DOGE did. That’s just PEPFAR, the HIV. You add them all up, that’s 300,000 dead, and we’re four months in,” Brooks claimed.

I wish Elon would do Give Send Go to help fund his lawsuit. I know he doesn't need the money but it would make me so happy to sue David Brooks' to the ping where all he owns is his underwear.

See David, your comment is exactly why we should not give PBS one more cent. You are rude, angry and obnoxious and think you're the smartest guy in the room. Well, guess what.............

AIDS is barely mentioned in the news anymore. If 55,000 died in 4 months I think it would be noticed.

Haven't taken Brooks seriously since he revealed his man-crush on Obama in the form of flattery for the creases on Obama's pants.

You want to see David brooks as a peewee debating Thomas friedman. Why he didn't get dragged out is beyond me. Arrogant little worm convinced he can crow like a rooster about himself. Go to 4:19

Isn't Brooks saying this like Shouting fire in a crowded theater?
Brooks is the same kind of tool that Pol Pot would have used for
his propaganda.

The Slimes in one of many publications that wants me to pay to read what they write. Even when they were free they were overpriced. Brooks don't make a case for his cause and effect. Just blame Elon and President Trump every time a bird falls out of a tree.

... Though Comrade Chris also provided ample verbal fellatio in Obama's direction back in the day, so you can't be faulted for your recollection...

If not for Lucianne.com and Rush Limbaugh's radio show, I would not have ever heard of David Brooks. The man-you-love-to-hate. That'll get your RHR up and running.

Maybe when it was first established USAID was a good thing but now it's nothing but a money laundering operation. David Brooks is an idiot.

This tells me that the U.S. is the only country in the world that has been saving these people's lives. Time for the rest of the world to step up, I'd say.

David Brooks has gone insane. He needs a head shrinker. Elon Musk is the most productive, forward looking person on earth. May the Lord protect him and President Trump.

David Brooks, Nina Totenberg, Cokie Roberts, Judy Woodruff, all dinosaurs of an age when liberals knew it all and were always prepared to take your money and accept your apologies for being stupid and ignorant rubes.

Brooks was never ever a conservative. At PBS he was just not as flaming a lefty as the others, whose names I have conveniently - mercifully - forgotten

Isn't Brooks the clown who had a thrill running down his legs for a president who set race relations back a few decades? All because of the crease in the pants he was wearing.

Because men having sex with men and catching AIDS is Trump's fault? Whoever this guy is he is full of it. Catching fraud and eliminating it never killed anyone.
