MSNBC peddles bizarre conspiracy about what Trump's 'doggy boys and Musk rats' are doing in White House

MSNBC has aired a bizarre conspiracy about what Donald Trump's advisors, who a guest called 'doggy boys and Musk rats,' are actually doing in White House.

Speaking on the embattled network, Rhode Island Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse claimed that those within the Administration are secretly working to destroy Social Security so private equity firms can take over. 

The bold theory was made during a segment on 'PoliticsNation' where host Al Sharpton and Senator Whitehouse discussed mounting public anger towards Trump.

The conversation began with Sharpton asking if voters were 'getting fed up with the chaos being caused by President Trump so far in his second term.'

'We're seeing more and more Americans turning out for community forums, especially in Republican districts, demanding answers about the mass government layoffs and interruptions to vital government services,' he said.

'Do you get the sense that many voters are getting fed up with the chaos being caused by President Trump so far in his second term?'

Whitehouse responded saying he absolutely agrees.

'Yeah, absolutely,' he said. 'And I think polling numbers show it, and I think the fact that Republicans can't go and have a town hall themselves any longer because they've angered their constituents so much also shows that people I think are fed up with this.'

During the exchange, Whitehouse made the bold claim that billionaire Elon Musk and a group he referred to as 'doggy boys' and 'Musk rats' had been sent into government to deliberately sabotage Social Security.

'And the danger to Social Security, I think, is very real. You know, watch that carefully,' he said.

'Trump lies,' he continued. 'And one of his lies is that he won't touch Social Security. But he sent in Musk and those doggy boys, the Musk rats, to wreck up stuff in Social Security.'

The senator continued to suggest a plan where the administration would intentionally cause benefit interruptions to prepare for privatization.

'The former commissioner, Governor O'Malley, says that the wreckage that they're doing will lead to interruptions in benefits.'

'And at that point, he comes in and says, 'oh, look, I broke Social Security, we have an emergency let's fix it.'

'Let's get the private equity people and the big data people in here to run Social security.'

The senator's comments come amid ongoing protests - some violent - targeting Musk and his companies.

Anti-Elon Musk demonstrations have erupted across the US with protesters attacking Tesla showrooms with guns and molotov cocktails.

Dozens of fired-up crowds assembled outside Tesla stores across the country on Saturday afternoon to protest against Musk's efforts to slash government spending and enact reforms. Demonstrations also erupted in London, Portugal, Malaysia and Iceland.

Roughly 250 activists were gathered outside a showroom in New York City, holding anti-Musk placards that read 'Block Facism Now and 'Musk Must Go' as they shouted 'Elon Musk is not elected! Democracy must be protected!'

Five protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct at the Manhattan demonstration and one was taken into custody for resisting arrest, obstruction and violation of local law, The New York Daily News reported.

There have also been more than a dozen acts of vandalism against Tesla vehicles, dealerships and charging stations since President Donald Trump's inauguration, according to police and local reports.
