Dem Rep. Robert Garcia: Elon Musk ‘Is a Dick’

KEILAR: “Today, you harken back to that moment with this one in the DOGE subcommittee hearing. I want to play this.”

Garcia: “Now, I find it ironic, of course, that our chairwoman, Congresswoman Greene, is in charge of running this committee. Now, in the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight congressional hearing. So I thought I‘d bring one as well. Now, this of course, we know is president Elon Musk. He‘s also the world‘s richest man. He was the biggest political donor in the last election. He has billions of dollars in conflicts of interest.”

KEILAR: “Let me just ask you, and maybe your last answer will, is a preview of, I think, what you could say here, but I want to hear why, but do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging for confronting what is a potentially irreversible transformation of the U.S. Government?”

Garcia: “Well, he is a dick. And I think he‘s also harming the American public in an enormous way. And what I think is really important and what the American public want is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country. And it‘s important to push back on the chairperson of this committee. I mean, Marjorie Taylor Greene talks about having decorum, about bipartisanship. This is the person that lies more than anybody else in the entire Congress. And so, if she is going to make a mockery of hearings, I want to make sure that us as Democrats are bringing that same level of energy. And, of course, after those comments, we went into exactly what Elon Musk is trying to do, dismantling the Department of Labor, dismantling the Department of Education, dismantling all of our consumer protection agencies. And so, it‘s all important, but it‘s also important to get the attention of the American public and call Elon Musk out for what he is, and to make people know that Marjorie Taylor Greene is not a serious legislator, and she shouldn‘t be treated as such.”
