DOJ Investigates Rep. Garcia Over Musk Criticism

Democratic Congressman Robert Garcia is under scrutiny from the Department of Justice for his inflammatory comments about Elon Musk, which included suggesting that Democrats bring 'actual weapons' to a fight for democracy. His remarks, made during a recent congressional hearing, drew a letter from the DOJ warning that such comments could be interpreted as threats against a public official. Garcia's rhetoric has escalated as he has criticized Musk's influence and the changes he has imposed on the federal government, describing the political climate as akin to a 'bar fight.' He has publicly shared the DOJ's inquiry letter on social media, asserting his right to criticize the Trump administration without fear of retaliation. The situation has highlighted tensions within the Democratic Party regarding their response to Musk and Trump. The DOJ's actions reflect a broader concern about the potential for political discourse to escalate into threats or violence.
