A Democratic Rep. blasted Elon Musk during the first hearing of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee, claiming he is leading a "power grab also abided by and encouraged by Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene," the chair of the body.
Speaking at the hearing, Garcia said he agreed with the need to fight against corruption, but in no way he would cooperate with Republicans who want to "abolish the Department of Education, Medicare and Medicaid."
García then took on Marjorie Taylor Greene, recalling she showed a naked picture of Hunter Biden last year. "She literally showed a d-ck pick at an Oversight hearing, so I figure I'd bring one as well," said the lawmaker before unveiling a picture of Elon Musk.
CONGRESSMAN ROBERT GARCIA (D-CA): I thought I'd bring a d*ck pic as well. This, as we know, is President Elon Musk. He is also the world's richest man. The biggest political donor in the last election.pic.twitter.com/nPEQcklsNz

"This is of course president Elon Musk. He's also the world's richest man. He was also the biggest political donor in the last election. He has billions of dollars in conflicts of interests and is leading a power grab also abided by and encouraged by Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene," the Democrat said.
Garcia then used his time to describe DOGE as a "demolition plan that's going to run through our government." "DOGE is trying to abolish the Department of Education. That means the ripping away opportunities to children with disabilities dependent of this money," he added.
Garcia also went through the NIH, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and the Social Security Administration.
"This entire plan is about hurting the American social safety net and destroying our institutions. And it' important that we actually call out what is happening at this subcommittee. This is not about working with the richest man in the planet. This committee wants to empower the richest person in the world to hurt people so they can take all of this money that they so-call want to save so they can give it to themselves, their companies and their billionaire friends," Garcia concluded.
