Donald Trump has been criticized for a wide array of actions, but one stands out above the others, according to a Democratic lawmaker.
Rep. Robert Garcia, a Democrat from California, joined MSNBC on Saturday, where he was asked about Trump's bid to gut the Education Department.
That, according to Garcia, is "the most horrific thing that Donald Trump and Elon Musk have actually done."

"What people don't understand is that the Department of Education is the single largest supporter for families who have children with disabilities in America's classrooms," he said. "These are largely federally funded programs. These are not generally fully funded by states."
He continued, saying, "So to eliminate the Department of Education and for Trump to say, well, we're just going to send the money to the states, one is a flat out lie, and two, especially red states and conservative areas, they're going to send those resources to private schools that don't actually provide any classroom experience or support or inclusion programs for children with disabilities."
Finally, he said, "so this is an attack, yes, on families, on students, on teachers."
"But it is a horrifically shameful moment that the president wants to hurt children with distinct needs that they need also education to be included in our education system," he added. "They're the biggest losers in this, and I think we should all be protesting in the streets about this and be incredibly angry and letting Republicans know that they have enabled this kind of action against America's families."
