These assholes are out of their ever loving minds!

1. Damn, I wish Rep. Swalwell was my congressman!

Instead, I'm "represented" by the absolute worst congressman in the House. I won't sully this website with his name, but it's the 9th District of Georgia.

[vlyons]

26. I strongly disagree

Louie Gohmert of TX-01 is America's stupidest congressman.

[SCantiGOP]

28. You lie!

Joe Wilson is my Congressman.

[DemoTex]

60. Trey Gowdy WAS my Congressman.

Good riddance.

[TxVietVet]

54. Loopy Louie. Dumber than tRump can ever be.

[PatrickforO]

36. My congressman is Ken Buck,

another right wing-nut

[k8conant]

55. Alex Mooney WV 2nd is a real turd also.

[anarch]

2. I think that's a fine example of the type of reasoning prevalent in the GOP

and as others have pointed out, a great many people have been whipped into a bloodlust and would love nothing more than the chance to kill "liberals."

so I guess we should, you know, reach out and try to understand their viewpoint or something?

[rurallib]

5. and the Repugs in state legislatures pass 'stand your ground' laws

so they can get away with murder.

[spanone]

3. trump brings out the best in his base...😳

[malaise]

4. Why isn't this all over the news?

I hope this cretin has been arrested

[True Dough]

11. This is totally deserving of a "get thee to the greatest page"

(Just a little reminder)

[malaise]

21. It was already there when I posted

Ha

[True Dough]

25. Deservedly so!

Glad to hear it.

[Mr.Bill]

20. I would bet it happens

about every five minutes to some Democratic elected official somewhere.

[barbtries]

6. hope the guy's been arrested.

that cannot be legal to threaten him that way.

[2naSalit]

48. I think it's a federal offence with

automatic consequences attached such as "find and detain".

[BlueJac]

7. This should be played on the House floor...

see what crawls out.

[malaise]

22. Good idea n/t

[2naSalit]

49. +1

[gratuitous]

8. Your call is very important to us . . .

Please stay on the line until the Secret Service can pinpoint your location for threatening a federal official.

[FM123]

9. Respect!

So this is the question we must ask ourselves not just our leaders: what would you do if you were not afraid?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. The caller sure didn't help his cause

[Mr.Bill]

63. Not with us, of course,

but if you played it at a Trump rally, the cheer would be deafening.

We are probably only months away from Trump saying it himself. I'm not kidding.

[doc03]

12. I would like to see Eric Swalwell run for

President. I don't know what kind of campaign he would run though he seems kind of low key.

[Baltimike]

13. knr

[Haggis for Breakfast]

14. As someone whose family has been personally damaged by gun violence,

Thank you, Congressman Swalwell.

Now, turn this over to the Secret Service. They can find this guy.

[colorado_ufo]

15. The sound of someone totally brainwashed. Reason has left the building.

Don't waste your time trying to interact with minds such as this - they will block any attempt at rational thinking. I always hold out some hope for people, but the truth is, they will have to change of their own accord. They will not believe a word of what anyone tells them who holds an opposing thought.

It never occurs to this guy that the only one who wants to "go to war" is him.

Very proud of Re. Swalwell!

[SMoss]

16. Liberals with guns.

Where I live I see NRA bumper stickers and other not so subtle messages that liberals like me should be cowed by their guns. I got news from or the assholes, some liberals like me grew up with guns, own guns, and I for one practice shooting. I am a better shot than most of the assholes. I am not afraid if them.

[gordianot]

23. Amen

[Mr.Bill]

24. I live in California in a fairly liberal

congressional district. Wine Country.

Every one I know has a gun, usually several. Every. One.

[Celerity]

32. why?

Are they afraid someone will steal the angel's share?

[Mr.Bill]

33. Various reasons, I suppose.

Home protection (in a rural area the police could be 30 minutes away) Hunting, Collectors, Heirlooms, etc.

[Celerity]

35. fair enough answer, thanks for the reply

[GulfCoast66]

37. Yeah, right.

Almost all of my democratic friends outside of NYC or other urban areas own guns. I own several because I engage in different types of hunting. And part of being a responsible gun owner, along with locking them up and following all laws is being able to hit what you aim at. It is certainly part of being an ethical hunter.

These f’ers don’t scare me.

[BigOleDummy]

59. Assholes like this....

…. seem to think we should be scared of them. Well, THIS Amy two enlistment old fart still knows how to shoot. "People" like this seem to think we should be afraid of them, well listen up bubba's WE outnumber YOU by a big majority.

[47of74]

58. Yeah I no longer judge people on our side

Who feel the need to possess firearms.

[paleotn]

17. Tony Montana?

Is that you?

[Pepsidog]

18. Cowardly republican no doubt.

[RussBLib]

19. what's the guy so pissed off about now?

The ammo clip bill in California?

[czarjak]

29. The truth.

[randr]

27. That is a perfect reason to start taking guns away from pervs like this

Maybe he is just looking for an assisted suicide?

[BigmanPigman]

30. Well, that shook me up and it wasn't even directed at me.

Swalwell should use this as an example every chance he gets. Make the GOP listen to it on a loop, substitute the GOP names for "Swalwell" in the nut's rant and maybe they would pass some decent laws like New Zealand did. Oh wait, we're talking about the GOP...never mind, won't happen.

[warmfeet]

31. They, the assholes like this,

are in for a very big surprise.

I am not afraid either.

[yourmovemonkey]

34. Proves himself to be precisely the kind of person who should not be allowed to own a firearm

[GulfCoast66]

38. The twisted Irony here?

Mr. badass just committed a felony. If he is caught and convicted, guess what he can never legally own again?

[nolabear]

39. Swalwell's number is a land line?

I know that’s a silly first response but that was after my jaw came up off the floor. I don’t doubt this is a daily occurrence. And one hell of an ad for gun control.

[Control-Z]

45. I'm sure it must have been on his government line

which, I believe, would be a landline.

[Scurrilous]

40. K&R

[Midnight Writer]

41. Folks, I live in Deep Red Middle America, and I tell you, I hear worse than this everyday.

[Permanut]

42. Interesting they're so fond of the f bomb..

what with the family values, Constitutional rights and all.

[Xipe Totec]

43. Not to put too fine a point on this, but generally, ...

Assholes are far away from the vicinity of minds, brains, etc.

[NotHardly]

44. I'm pretty sure that guy just committed a felony... federal type

You cannot directly threaten anyone with bodily harm (murder) and in particular a sitting federal representative.

[2naSalit]

51. I'm pretty sure you're right about that...nt

[Control-Z]

46. I love Eric Swalwell more

every time I hear from him. How can a man so adorably cute be as intelligent and badass as he is? The pictures I've seen of him holding his newborn baby girl just melted my heart. 💓

Stay safe, Rep. Swalwell.

[lark]

47. WTF - lease tell me this asswipe is in jail right now!

If Swalwell didn't immediately send this to the police, I'm really pissed. If he did send it to the police, why isn't this being reported by msm - this is totally significant having a deranged trumper (sorry I repeat myself) threaten his life. Why is the media covering this up?

[spanone]

50. a domestic terrorist

[randr]

52. This assholes twin showed up

at a town hall meeting last weekend in Colorado. Very concerning.

[cp]

53. Proving the point about the need for background checks

For starters.

[robbedvoter]

56. Pete, Biden, Ryan, Burnie - convert this guy!

Ask him really nice, maybe you get his vote!

[Rabrrrrrr]

57. Ah, Republican Christianity. So far from the actual gospel version of Jesus' gospel.

Fucking madness.

I'm sure that guy goes to church on Sundays and thinks he's pious as hell. Or he's one of those douchenozels that NEVER goes to a church, but still claims to be the greatest of all Christians because he "believes" in Jesus.

[jdu]

61. But

But how do you eradicate this ??
These types of individuals never go away it may be quiet but they never go away

[mudstump]

62. This caller is a frightened little rat....

...they love to claim how patriotic they are, but what I see is someone afraid of losing their status. So much for the land of the free and forget home of the brave.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

64. Probably due to this issue....

Gun Violence Prevention

See: https://swalwell.house.gov/issues/gun-violence-prevention

(snip)

I support common sense reforms to prevent gun violence and make Americans safer. We need to keep dangerous weapons off of our streets, improve our background check system, make sure the mentally ill receive the treatment they need, and provide schools the required resources to keep our children secure. We can’t take hatred out of hearts, but we can do more to keep deadly weapons out of hateful hands.

That means taking weapons of war out of our communities, so I support banning possession of military-style semiautomatic assault weapons. We should buy back such weapons from all who choose to abide by the new law, and anyone found to be in possession of such a weapon after the buyback period has elapsed would be in violation and subject to prosecution. The ban would not apply to law enforcement agencies or shooting clubs. Read more about more about my proposal in my USA Today op-ed.

That caller proved Rep. Swalwell's statement "We can’t take hatred out of hearts"........
