Eric Swalwell comes out swinging
In a now familiar refrain, the House Democrats are trying to get something done on behalf of the majority of the American people, while House Republicans are instead trying to protect the interests of corrupt special interests and/or deranged extremists.
Congressman Eric Swalwell has had just about enough of it, and tweeted this today after House Republicans particularly embarrassed themselves during gun reform debate:
This is who Republicans are. Kids are being buried and they’re bragging about how many guns they own during our gun safety hearing. They are not serious. They are a danger to our kids.”
Swalwell added: “We are voting to protect kids from the next school shooting. Every GOP member is opposed. So I asked my GOP colleagues, ‘Who are you here for? Our kids or the killers?'”
