Rep. Eric Swalwell Attacks GOP Senators Who Will Object to Electoral Count, It Doesn't End Well
Red State ^ | 01/02/2021 | Nick Arama

As we just reported, almost a dozen more Senators will now be joining Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and dozens of House members in objecting to the electoral count on Jan. 6.

That’s caused a reaction from some on the left, including from Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) who termed the senators who said that they would be objecting “enemies of democracy.”

Name & shame these enemies of democracy:
Ted Cruz (TX)
Ron Johnson (WI)
James Lankford (OK)
Steve Daines (MT)
John Kennedy (LA)
Marsha Blackburn (TN)
Mike Braun (IN)
Cynthia Lummis (WY)
Roger Marshall (KS)
Bill Hagerty (TN)
Tommy Tuberville (AL) https://t.co/5QNFpHGr7X

This of course is nonsense, because the senators have every right to object or not, as they so choose. It’s part of their constitutional job. What Democrats want is complete conformity with their will. That’s why they had no issue when it was Democrats objecting to Republican presidents and their electoral count. Democrats actually objected to the last three Republican presidents during the electoral count, although they only had a senator joining in in 2005.

But given Swalwell’s history of falsely accusing President Donald Trump of Russia collusion and then having his own “history” of being with a Chinese spy, he probably should have just kept quiet. Swalwell wasn’t going to get off easily in his effort to attack Cruz and the other Republicans for following the Constitution. Bottom line? He’s the last guy who should be talking about anyone, especially people trying to defend the Constitution and the security of elections.

As the Daily Caller noted about Swalwell and Fang Fang.

The two remained close – just how close he says is “classified” – until 2015 when the FBI gave Rep. Swalwell a defensive briefing about Fang. This was especially important since Nancy Pelosi had by then picked Swalwell to be a member of the House Intelligence Committee. Fang soon vanished back to China, and Swalwell became a leading proponent of the debunked anti-Trump Russian collusion conspiracy theory.

The hypocrisy is remarkable. Swalwell loudly condemned Jared Kushner and Donald Trump, Jr. for a single business meeting with suspected Russian operative Natalia Veselnitskaya in June 2016, after he had carried on a four-year relationship with an alleged Chinese spy. If Swalwell believed that the set-up meeting at Trump Tower was evidence of nefarious activity implicating Donald Trump, his countless private moments with Fang Fang should mean immediate disqualification from public life.

He still refuses to talk about his relationship with her.

Swalwell got blasted by many on the internet for his effort.

maybe the guy who had a relationship with a spy for Communist China shouldn’t be calling other politicians enemies of democracy

How much dirty cash did your Chinese spy girlfriend Fang Fang raise for you and how much did you return?

How many staff members did she place on Capitol Hill and where are they now?

These are the questions that need to be answered.

These are the things to be named & shamed. https://t.co/BKIHB9gxCp

He without sin cast the first stone… aren’t you the guy who was with the Chinese spy? https://t.co/jdkjpmOmS3

Even former Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell let Swalwell have it.

This is the Beijing line. Why does Swalwell always push the Beijing line? https://t.co/bTpi5X5T9N

What amazes me is that he represents the last of the conservative Bay Area districts to go blue, and they now are sending the most radicalized Democrat to the House.

What a difference a few years makes. I lived in his district when I fled California shortly after he was voted into office.

I'm with President Trump! News revealed last evening regarding the Biden family's dealings with foreign nations to get themselves rich was stunning!!

It's the Democrats and Rhino Republicans that are destroying America and they need to be removed and indicted for their money laundering corruption!

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) who termed the senators who said that they would be objecting “enemies of democracy.”

The opposite of "enemies of democracy" is PATRIOTS OF THE REPUBLIC.

“Where is Tom Cotton’s name on this list.”

There are a sh!tload of senators whose names need to be added. Cotton’s is one. And where the hell are the names “Rubio” and “Scott” from Florida? They need to be harassed TODAY.

Isn’t Chinese text read vertically from the top down, left to right columns? /s

No, from right to left vertically. The back of the book is the beginning. Don't have time to edit it into that format. Sorry.

RE: I think a few more R senators will support it...

I was waiting for Tom Cotton and Rand Paul to join the group.

But you can at least forget these RINOs:

Romney
Collins
Murkowski
Toomey
