Dem Rep. Garcia: Our Constituents Want Us to ‘Fight Back’ Against Trump and Musk

KEILAR: “You guys, your party, Democrats in Congress, are getting a lot of calls from angry constituents. I want to know what you‘re hearing from them and also how you‘re reading that frustration that you‘re hearing, frustration with Democrats who they think can better oppose the Trump agenda.”

Garcia: “Well, I think the main thing we‘re hearing, and I agree, is folks back home in our districts want us to fight back, and they want to ensure that we‘re bringing the fire and the same level of energy that the House Republicans and the extremists in Congress are bringing to this fight. So I think it‘s really important that us as a party listen to the folks on the ground. We need to be matching that energy and taking on Elon Musk, calling him out every single day and bringing the facts and the actual truth to actually combat all this misinformation that‘s out there. So we‘re hearing that, and I‘m also hearing from a lot of folks that are saying, yes, keep it going, keep bringing up the truth, keep fighting Donald Trump and Elon Musk. And then, of course, there‘s just a lot of people that are scared. And so, I think that‘s also very concerning. People are actually being harmed. We‘re hearing from parents, for example, who have children with disabilities that are in our schools. They‘re actually going to be really impacted if the Department of Education gets eliminated, as Elon Musk wants to do. So, it‘s a mix of things, but people want us to fight back.”
