You can’t eat David Garcia.
The curious saying stems from when the Democratic gubernatorial candidate served as an infantryman in the U.S. Army.
Garcia and his Army cohorts were told by a commanding officer that their military handbook included the phrase, “you cannot eat another soldier.”
Your fellow soldiers could get you killed, leave you in a foreign land or get you blown up, but they couldn’t cannibalize you, Garcia said at a June 7 fundraiser.
Garcia, who ran for state superintendent of public instruction in 2014 and lost by about 16,000 votes, is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor this cycle.
Why?
Well, because you can’t eat him – you can’t destroy him, you can’t get rid of him.
