A Democratic Representative who claimed supporters want to see “actual weapons” used against Elon Musk in physical confrontations has complained that he is really the one being threatened.
Yes, really.
Democrat Robert Garcia of California has claimed that he’s facing “intimidation” after a US Attorney sent him a letter regarding the comments asking him to clarify what he meant.

Garcia stated on Feb 12 about Musk: “Well, he is a d*ck, and I think he's also harming the American public in an enormous way. And what I think is really… pic.twitter.com/z9rdjPZrVS
The US Attorney for DC, Ed Martin writes that “This sounds to some like a threat to Mr. Musk – an appointed representative of President Donald Trump…We take threats to public officials very seriously. I look forward to your cooperation.”
Garcia, who also called Musk a “dick,” whined that it is “crazy that they want to investigate me for essentially using a metaphor and wanting to take on Elon Musk.”
Garcia attempted to justify his previous assertion about weapons, asserting “We’ve got to fight fire with fire.”

It’s not a metaphor when you’re suggesting using “actual weapons.” That’s the entire point.
“Intimidation” is literally why he’s being investigated.

He’s doubling down on stupidity.
A little extra FA before the FO.
I'm still trying to understand what's to investigate??? he should have been arrested, it's literally on camera him threatening violence against Elon Musk?

Garcia could’ve taken the L, apologised and admitted his use of the phrase was a poor choice. Instead he’s tripling down.
Not the brightest bulb on the tree

The rule of holes (stop digging) really, really applies here.

Leftists have lost it with Trump retaking office.
Their rhetoric is heating up rapidly and violence is brewing.
