- Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) was on Capitol Hill Wednesday (March 1), where he used Beyoncé as a bridge between Black History Month and Women’s History Month.
- Garcia spoke about how he became a big fan of Beyoncé after seeing her at a Destiny’s Child concert.
- He praised Queen B for her 32nd Grammy win, making her the most Grammy-award-winning artist in the country, and her efforts to stand up for women and the LGBTQ+ community.
- TMZ caught up with the Congressman to discuss his presentation. “My opinion is that she is the queen of pop, R&B music, period,” said Garica. “She’s stood up for voting rights, feminism, women and girls, and the LGBTQ community, [important] to me as an openly gay person in Congress.”
