Country music icon Dolly Parton’s younger sister Stella slammed America’s “chain saw massacre” week of cuts in a series of fiery tweets rebuking Elon Musk, “his co-conspirators,” and top Republicans.
“The chain saw massacre of the American government was a bit too much for me to absorb this week,” wrote Stella, 75, on X. Referencing Musk’s rambling chainsaw-wielding address at CPAC on Thursday, Stella wrote, “Sorry guys, but this immature behavior by a guy who has us all in a vice ain’t working for me! And the current administration and his co-conspirators are all a vile bunch of little creatures! IMO.”
She added, “Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell can go straight to hell as well!”
Stella’s comments follow news that Indiana’s government will no longer match funding for Dolly’s “Imagination Library” book gifting program, jeopardizing the program’s future. In a statement, Dollywood foundation president Jeff Conyers said they are hopeful “hopeful that Governor Braun and the Indiana Legislature will continue this vital investment by restoring the state’s funding match.”
As Musk’s DOGE, sanctioned by President Donald Trump, continues to make massive cuts to the federal workforce and spending, Stella warned that America’s most vulnerable populations will suffer.
“While they are cutting and slashing and most likely the most vulnerable amongst us will suffer yet Trump has grifted off his country his entire life and Musk is rich from federal loans in the billions while legitimate tax payers are harassed,” Stella posted under her previous post. “Blame it on the silent majority who did nothing and said nothing. They may be the worst of us.”
She added, “I’m sure there’s a lot of waste and cheating going on but the rest of us who pay our taxes and don’t cheat the system are being subjected to this harassment as well.”
According to Stella, cuts should “start at the top.”
“Cut the head off the snake and you will see it all pouring out from the top. MM and his grifting,” she wrote.
