Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) failed to bring censure to the floor against Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) for his statements against Elon Musk.
“After making numerous threats to try to censure me for criticizing Elon Musk, it’s clear the Congresswoman could not find enough Republican colleagues to support her, forcing her to back down from bringing a censure vote to the floor,” Garcia said in a statement. “We refuse to be silenced, and will continue to speak out against Trump and Musk, and their attacks on our federal agencies.”
At the first DOGE Subcommittee hearing in February, Congressman Garcia called out Elon Musk for his billions of dollars in conflicts of interest with the federal government and for leading a power grab against our democracy.
A day later, Congresswoman Mace introduced a resolution to censure Congressman Garcia for using a figure of speech and speaking out against Musk.
After continuing to push back on Musk for his attempts to gut the social safety net to enrich himself and his billionaire friends, Washington D.C.'s Acting U.S. Attorney, a Trump appointee and ally, sent a threatening letter to Congressman Garcia demanding clarification after he mocked Musk.
