Rep. Swalwell holds nothing back!!!!!!

This is his response to Ben Williamson of the FBI, when they claimed they had reached out to him regarding protection for him and his family:

"Spare me the bullshit. I don’t need you to reach out. Go arrest the monsters threatening my kids. Which you REFUSE to do. But when a MAGA supporter is threatened you’re Johnny-on-the-Spot.

Kash’s girlfriend has better protection than any Democrat in Congress. You want us dead."

... His complaint was the FBI doesn't go after the those making the threats. It's fucking easy Ben: no threat, no need for protection.

I was always a bit leary of Swalwell, ex republican with a republican hair cut, hey I admit it, I profile white people and I am white people.

That being said, he has NEVER given me an reason to believe he is nothing but a fighter for Democrats.

Full disclosure, Nicole Wallace was always on my watch list, took me until this year to trust her.

Parties while still in college. He interned for a Democratic Representative. He has always run for office as a Democrat.

He's one of our best.

First way of dealing with prejudices is admitting prejudices. I’m trying!

Hey, last fall I was in Dallas, liberal neighborhood, but I saw a MAGA sign. Being a passenger I couldn’t resist, throw out the double barreled bird. Then get close enough to read it, Mothers Against Greg Abbott!

The middle aged lady in the driveway doubled over laughing as I yelled Sorry, great sign!

Pretty fucking easy in this day and age to figure out WHERE and WHO these threats are coming from....IF they want to. Like Swalwell said,they DON'T care.
