Robert Garcia 'will not be silenced' after Department of Justice U.S. attorney targets him for criticizing Elon Musk on TV
Briefly

The Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi and under President Trump, is scrutinizing Democratic lawmakers over critical statements, exemplified by a letter to Rep. Robert Garcia. The letter, from acting U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr., requests clarification on remarks Garcia made about Elon Musk, whom he referred to derogatorily. This initiative, termed 'Operation Whirlwind', suggests a troubling trend of political intimidation aimed at silencing opposition, as Garcia asserts his right to critique government officials without fear of repercussions.
So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump's DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.
Their concerns have led to this inquiry... the characterization of Musk as a dick during the same interview raises concerns about the safety of government officials and appointees.
What the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy.
This inquiry stems from a letter sent to gay California U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia demanding he clarify his criticism of billionaire Elon Musk and the Trump administration.
