Democrat Congressman Hit With Major Legal Notice After ‘Threatening’ Elon MuskTrending Politics NewsBy Chris PowellFebruary 20, 2025A high-profile Democrat is in hot water after receiving a formal legal notice from the Department of Justice following controversial remarks about billionaire Elon Musk. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) was sent a letter by U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr., demanding clarification over statements he made during a CNN interview on February 12, 2025.Garcia, while discussing how Democrats could “stop” Musk, said: “What the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy.”The comment set off alarm bells within Trump’s Department of Justice, which is now investigating whether the remarks constitute a threat against Musk, an appointed government representative under President Donald Trump’s administration.The legal notice comes amid ‘Operation Whirlwind,’ a sweeping DOJ initiative cracking down on potentially threatening rhetoric from Democratic lawmakers. The initiative, according to The Washington Post, will scrutinize public statements and actions taken by high-ranking Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Garcia, who have been vocal opponents of Musk’s growing influence in federal agencies.Musk, who oversees Trump’s federal Artificial Intelligence Task Force and the Digital Oversight Government Enterprise (DOGE), has been at the center of Democrat frustrations over what they call “unprecedented access” to federal decision-making.Garcia’s remarks, however, may have crossed the line from political opposition to outright threats in the eyes of federal prosecutors. In the letter, U.S. Attorney Martin warned that the DOJ “takes threats against public officials very seriously” and requested a response from Garcia by February 24, 2025.(more)https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/just-in-democrat-congressman-hit-with-major-legal-notice-after-threatening-elon-musk-mace/

If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
