During an appearance with MSNBC California Rep. Eric Swalwell said the Republican Party is the “pro-slavery, anti-police party that’s rolling with the cop killers.” Despite the fact its members of his own party pushing measures to defund the police. Swalwell was referring to the recent vote to make Juneteenth a federal holiday and some Republican Reps opposition to awarding Capitol police officers the Congressional Gold Medal for their role in the Jan. 6th Capitol riot.
According to Fox News:
“It seems to me that now what Republicans are doing is trying to, not just ignore these officers, refuse to honor them, but now also vilifying them,” left-wing host Joy Reid said after playing a video clip of Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., calling for the name of the officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6 to be released.
“If that mob had gotten around the final police officers who were there … you would have seen dead members of Congress, so God bless the officer who saved us,” he added, before claiming the officer would have a target on his back if his name were released to the public.
“By the way, that officer has been cleared and that shooting has been deemed as, you know, a lawful, unfortunate shooting,” Swalwell said. “So now we have a Republican Party – by the way over double digits voted against recognizing Juneteenth – so it’s a pro-slavery, anti-police party that is rolling with the cop killers right now. That’s where we are here in Washington, D.C.”
His “cop killers” remark appeared to be in reference to Officer Brian Sicknick, who had two strokes and died of natural causes after confronting them that day. Washington’s chief medical examiner did say that the riots played a role in his condition.
Ultimately 21 Republicans opposed the bill awarding the Medal to the police and 14 Republicans voted against the bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday, in both instances, lawmakers noted it was semantics that made them oppose the bill but would vote yes with minor tweaks or cliarification.
The officer was cleared? By whom? The Democrats ridiculous double standards at work again. The officer was probably a color that would ruin their agenda so they have to keep him secret.
Swalwell should be charged with treason, in that he protected a Chinese Communist spy and provided her with information to the detriment of the United States. He should spend his life in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Why is Eric Swelwell still in congress. He is in a position that is dangerous to the USA
Swalwell the IDIOT who has a Chinese Spy for a lover and belongs to the Party of BIGOTRY and HATE of America and Americans KNOWS NOTHING. Democraps were and still are the Party of RACISM all they did is hide it. They have even got Minorities to HATE their own. So all this FOOL is doing is showing how WILLFULLY IGNORANT all Democraps are.
Eric Swalwell is a pathetic joke. And what is it about the morons who live in California? This state has sent more numb-nuts to Congress than all the other states put together.
California – once a great state is not the laughing stock of America. All the sane people are bailing out of that state.
The Democrats are still mad that Republicans released their slaves.
Swalwell is a real peice of work and should be on his way to prison. It has been shown to be the Dumbocraps that are Anti-Police and Anti-American.
