TDV Adam Kokesh Communism Doesn't Exist! - Video
MIAMI, May 21 (UPI) --A video of Florida Congressman Joe Garcia saying "Communism works" is circulating online after it was released by far-right super PAC America Rising. This is the second video of Garcia released by the super PAC, after an edited C-SPAN video of him picking his ear made headlines last week. Garcia is running for reelection in the fall.
The new clip comes from a Google hangout, where Garcia was discussing lingering racism problems within the Republican Party that handcuff it from passing meaningful immigration legislation. The specific quote came as he was explaining the unintended effects of over-funding border security.
"The safest city in America is El Paso, Texas," Garcia said. "It happens to be across the border from the most dangerous city in the America's, which is Juarez. Right?"
Garcia called it "absurd" that this would be misconstrued as an endorsement of communism, telling the Miami Herald, "accusing the son of Cuban immigrants of believing in Communism is just ridiculous."
Far-right blogs are attempting to paint the re-contextualized video as a "gaffe." However, objective news outlets are reporting the entire quote.

GOP super PAC accuses Cuban congressman of endorsing Communism
Rep. Joe Garcia (D., Fla.) of Florida suggested communism works while discussing the U.S.-Mexico border and the amount of money and federal government jobs that are offered in border towns such as El Paso, Texas.
The safest city in America is El Paso, Texas. It happens to be across the border from the most dangerous city in the Americas, which is Juarez. Right? Garcia asked a Google Hangout participant.

Two of the safest cities in America are on the border with Mexico. Of course, the reason is weve proved that communism works. If you give everybody a good government job, there is no crime, Rep. Garcia said.
It should be noted thatRep. Garcia has had a rough two weeks. Last week, he was exposed foreating his own ear wax.
Excerpt from:
Fla. Congressman Joe Garcia: Communism works
Rep. Joe Garcia (D-FL) mocked Republicans position on border security and economic theory in a recent online discussion with constituents by citing the situation on the American border with Mexico. He said that among the safest cities in America are those on the border where most residents are government employees. Communism works, he declared.
Weve proved that Communism works, Garcia said. Laughing at Republicans for spending on border security that creates employment opportunities, he added, If you give everybody a good government job, theres no crime.
Garcia went on to say, however, that America should not be spending so heavily on border security because the returns on that investment are diminishing.
The video of Garcias remarks were quickly put up online by the conservative America Rising PAC. When asked by the Miami Heralds Marc Caputo for a clarification of his comments, Garcia expressed indignation at the characterization of his remarks as a literal endorsement of communism.
This is an absurdity, accusing the son of Cuban immigrants of believing in Communism is just ridiculous, the congressman said. When asked if he should have been clearer in his comments, Garcia said conservative groups would have posted the video anyway.
Garcia made national headlines last week when cameras caught him seemingly eating his earwax during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.
