 RESOLUTION

 Censuring Representative Robert Garcia of California for inciting 
 violence against a special government employee.

Whereas Elon Reeve Musk is a successful businessman serving as a special 
 government employee;
Whereas Elon Reeve Musk is working expeditiously as part of the U.S. DOGE 
 Service Temporary Organization (commonly referred to as the Department 
 of Government Efficiency), alongside President Donald J. Trump, to root 
 out waste, fraud, and abuse in the Federal Government;
Whereas Representative Robert Garcia referred to Elon Reeve Musk, a special 
 government employee, as a ``dick'' during a hearing entitled ``The War 
 on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud'' held 
 by the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency on February 
 12, 2025;
Whereas Representative Robert Garcia escalated his rhetoric on CNN News Central 
 on February 12, 2025, calling on fellow members of the Democratic Party 
 to ``bring actual weapons to this bar fight'' against Elon Reeve Musk, a 
 special government employee;
Whereas in stating that his fellow members of the Democratic Party should 
 ``bring actual weapons'' to fight against Elon Reeve Musk, 
 Representative Robert Garcia attempted to incite violence against a 
 special government employee of the Federal Government;
Whereas the leadership of the Democratic Party has failed to condemn 
 Representative Robert Garcia's attempts to incite violence against Elon 
 Reeve Musk, a special government employee;
Whereas violence, threats of violence, or attempts to incite violence against 
 Federal employees should not be tolerated in the House of 
 Representatives; and
Whereas Representative Robert Garcia's attempt to incite violence against a 
 special government employee affects the dignity and integrity of the 
 proceedings of the House: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That--

    (1) Representative Robert Garcia of California be censured;

    (2) Representative Robert Garcia forthwith present himself 
 in the well of the House of Representatives for the 
 pronouncement of censure; and

    (3) Representative Robert Garcia be censured with the 
 public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
