'Zero interest': DOGE Dem promises to 'bring the fire' against Marjorie Taylor Greene
Moments before Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) convened her first hearing as chairperson of the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE), a Democrat who will serve on the committee served notice he plans to make her life miserable.
With the controversial Greene being handed a chairmanship designed by Republicans to assist unelected billionaire Elon Musk's efforts to gut government operations, a fiery Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) said he will show up for the hearing, but has no intention of lending her a hand.
Appearing on MSNBC, he told host Ali Vitali Musk is an "... unelected billionaire with almost as much power as the president of the United States and I think we're going to bring the fire today."

"And so I think even though we don't have all the power that we would like, we're going to use every minute that we are given at this hearing to call out the corruption and the lies and I think we're going to bring the fire today," he repeated.
"There's some that may question why Democrats are participating in a committee like this; if Republicans are cutting you off at the pass with subpoena power and wondering if you all being on committees like this doesn't validate or normalize the work of DOGE," host Vitali pressed him before adding the unofficial government agency, "... is certainly going about in anything but normal capacity here as it tries to basically rip out root and stem various parts of government, even agencies themselves."
"What would you say to folks like that?" she asked.
"Yeah, I would say that first, I have zero interest in working with Marjorie Taylor Greene, our chairwoman, on this committee or the House Republicans on this committee with anything as it relates to DOGE."
"What we're there to do is to fight, to push back on the lies, to bring attention to what's going on right now at our agencies, and to make sure that people know that we are going to fight every single day to ensure that we get Elon Musk out of our private information," he continued.
"But let's make no mistake about it, we are not going to be working with the House majority and we're certainly not going to be working with Marjorie Taylor Greene," he added. "I think, folks today are going to see us get really engaged and ask really tough questions."
