Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine appeared on Fox News Tuesday and criticized his party’s strategy against Elon Musk as “terrible.”

During an appearance on “Jesse Watters: Primetime,” Turrentine took aim at his party’s focus on high-profile figures like Musk, saying that such tactics may backfire. Turrentine said it’s important to respect people, listen to them, and solve their problems instead of constantly engaging in conflict.

“Terrible. Look, the number one thing in politics is you want to respect people, listen to them, and solve their problems. But what have we been doing the last nine years and certainly the last, like, month? We talk about who, and we talk about how, right? Elon Musk. Donald Trump. What we’re forgetting? What. What they’re doing,” Turrentine said when Watters asked if Dems running against Musk is a good strategy.

This misdirection, Turrentine said, is causing the Democratic Party to fail, with voters tuning out important discussions.

“We’re failing the common sense test. Rather than saying, ‘Hey, some of what they’re finding, anybody in their right mind would say we should end it.’ Instead, we scream about everything. And so when we find stuff that, in our opinion, probably is worthy of a discussion, the average voter says, ‘Forget it,’” Turrentine said.

Turrentine also said that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer might benefit from a less confrontational and more laid-back approach.

“All you do is scream, ‘No,’ and ‘They’re crazy.’ Look, I think as much as I like Chuck Schumer, he’s a terrible dancer and an even worse singer. So, yes, I would stay out of it,” Turrentine said.

Since Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency started looking into the operations of the U.S. Agency for International Development under the Trump administration, Democrats have opposed their involvement. The criticism escalated when Musk posted a chart on X on Sunday night showing ages in the Social Security database ranging from zero to 369 years old.

Last Thursday, 14 Democratic state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against Musk, saying that his involvement in the federal government violates the Constitution’s Appointments Clause, which requires Senate confirmation for such presidential appointments. Judge Tanya Chutkan said that the attorneys general made a credible case concerning the Appointments Clause. However, she confined her ruling to the question of irreparable harm and rejected the motion to stop Musk’s actions.
