Congressman Robert Garcia
It’s a Good Bet I’m in Vegas …
Amid Government Shutdown
Published
California Congressman Robert Garcia was hangin’ at a Vegas casino Sunday, while thousands of federal workers are goin’ belly up.
Garcia saddled up to a bar with a friend, enjoying drinks at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
Someone who heard our call to action — shoot photos and videos of members of Congress on their Spring Break after failing to pass a bill that would end the shutdown — shot the photos.
The amateur photog walked up to Garcia and asked if he was enjoying himself, knowing federal employees weren’t getting paid because of him and his colleagues. Garcia didn’t answer, but 2 security guards shooed him away. Garcia told the guard he didn’t mind if the guy took photos, and here they are.
After the photos were snapped, Garcia walked away, leaving his friend behind.
While Garcia pressed his luck in Vegas, Senator Lindsey Graham meandered around Fantasyland over the weekend at Disney World.
Again, TMZ is on the hunt for photos and videos of all 535 members of Congress enjoying their Spring Break as thousands of federal workers look at April 1st with dread, wondering how they’re gonna pay their rent. Send your pics to us here.
We reached out to Garcia’s rep … so far, no word back.
