Garcia who on Monday, Feb. 3, 2020, rejected legislative leaders' call for his resignation over his assertion that the U.S. Constitution allows socialists to be jailed or shot. House leaders called the remarks he made Friday &quot;inflammatory&quot; and &quot;deeply disturbing.&quot; House Speaker Greg Hertz conceded Wednesday that the Legislature will likely do nothing to sanction Garcia. It's not practical to call Montana's part-time lawmakers into a special session to sanction Garcia, given the estimated minimum cost of $50,000, Hertz said.
