Congressman Garc\u00eda posted about his vote to reinstate the assault weapons ban. He continued on by saying that it was on the Senate to pass the bill for submission to the White House. One Twitter user declared that he had never heard of the congressman and that he would not comply with the law. Congressman Garc\u00eda insulted him with a flame statement; something the congressman later blamed on a staffer.<\/p>\n

“You are borderline r—–ed, ya dips—,” Garc\u00eda replied, using a term that mental disability advocacy groups and others consider offensive.<\/p>\n

Garc\u00eda later deleted the tweet and blamed a staffer for the message, saying that person will face disciplinary action.<\/p>\n

“Last night a member of Congressman Garc\u00eda’s staff posted an unauthorized tweet from the Congressman’s account using profanities and offensive language to individuals living with disabilities,” his office said in a statement Saturday morning. “The language used was absolutely inappropriate and inconsistent with Congressman Garcia’s history, values, and character. The individual responsible will be held accountable and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.”<\/p>\n

Two Republicans \u2014 representatives Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Chris Jacobs, R-N.Y. \u2014 broke with their party to vote yes on the gun control bill.<\/p>\n

Five Democrats \u2014 Henry Cuellar, D-Texas; Jared Golden, D-Maine, Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas; Kurt Schrader, D-Ore.; and Ron Kind, D-Wis. \u2014 broke with their party to vote no.<\/p>\n

President Biden said a majority of Americans agree with the assault weapons ban and called on the Senate to pass it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
