Swalwell threatens Trump supporters

Trump Fans Put This Hypocritical Congressman in His Place After He Comes For Them – Patriot Alerts  

While critics have mocked Swalwell for the apparent hypocrisy after he spent the past several years pushing the connections between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign, Cruz mocked the Democrat by indirectly referring to the California congressman’s illicit relationship with the Chinese spy. Cruz tweeted: “More than once, I’ve said, ‘screw the Chinese communists.’ Little did I know how closely Swalwell was listening.”


Trump Fans Put This Hypocritical Congressman in His Place After He Comes For Them (trendingpolitics.com)   "Hypocritical California Democrat Congressman Eric Swalwell took to his social media to pass threats to Trump Lovers and was immediately put in his place by fans who are not intimidated by him.

"This happened on Friday following the FBI’s raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home to allegedly recover classified documents he was not supposed to have. The democrat congressman threatened Americans who still had Trump’s back, warning that they had one last opportunity to get “off the Trump train” before it gets “ugly.” He added that if they failed to adhere to his warnings, they’d find themselves in the “wreckage,” as he put it. In addition, he accused the former president of stealing classified U.S. government material and endangering law enforcement.

"He said, “If you’ve been aboard the Trump Train the last 7 years, you’ve been given an unexpected stop. Time to get off. Wherever you think this is going, it’s not. Trump stole Top Secret documents. He’s put a target on the backs of cops. This is getting ugly. Don’t be in the wreckage.”

"Following the presidential act, the sitting president has the power to declassify any document he wishes to. Trump has also insisted that he had previously declassified all the documents the FBI claimed to retrieve from his residence.

"However, Biden’s FBI said, “the bureau uncovered classified records from former President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago… including some marked as top secret,” making it seem like Trump had broken the law. Following this development, the FBI began investigating whether Trump violated the Espionage Act." . . .

Liz Cheney’s Defeat Taught Her Nothing

 GOP Rep. Andy Barr On Liz Cheney’s Blowout Primary Loss: ‘Seats Do Not Belong To Politicians In Washington’ | The Daily Wire

“They’re talking about not being able to afford putting food on the table, putting gas in their trucks, and not being able to see their grandson again because he died of a fentanyl overdose because we don’t have control over our southern border. That’s what the American people care about. And politicians who obsess about the past are not in touch with the American people.”


"In 1980, when the voters of Arkansas denied Bill Clinton a second term as the state’s governor, he responded by apologizing to the voters for the poor decisions he had made and asking them how he could have done a better job. This humble approach allowed him to regain the trust of the voters, and he was reelected in 1982. The rest, to coin a phrase, is history. There’s a lesson for Rep. Liz Cheney in this story, but she refuses to learn it. Indeed, on Sunday, she literally dismissed the Wyoming voters who rejected her as “sick.' ”. . .

Then there was Liz Cheney, the (barely still) Republican anti-Trumper, January 6 hearing co-host, and failed congressional candidate.  She lost renomination by a landslide in a Wyoming primary vote.  Having built her miscarried political career around hating Trump, she's now talking about being the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln, even while preparing to run for president.  In which party she'd run isn't clear, but regardless, running for president after losing your seat in Congress is admittedly not the usual path on which an ambitious politician can move forward.  Perhaps instead of comparing herself to Lincoln, she should have said she's the (allegedly) Republican clone of failed Texas candidate for damn near everything, Beto O'Rourke.

“They can’t come for her the same way to try to go after others, because the day that someone calls Liz Cheney a RINO, you just have to laugh in their face because that’s the weakest argument possible. So, Liz Cheney unleashed, I’m here for it. And the Republicans, she’s gonna be a thorn in their side for the immediate future, in these midterms, and going into the presidential election. And I don’t think they’re ready for her.”
