Eric Swalwell Blasts McConnell For Giving Trump The Green Light To Cheat


Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said that Donald Trump is currently abusing his power, and Mitch McConnell has given him the green light to cheat in 2020.

Rep. Swalwell was asked on MSNBC is Rudy Giuliani is being helpful to Trump, and he answered, “No, but it also demonstrates that the president did not abuse his power in the past tense. He is abusing his power in the present tense, in that when he hears from Senator Mcconnell that he’s going to be acquitted, the signal that he receives from that is a green light and he believes that he can continue to abuse the power of his office to cheat the upcoming election, which gives us the urgency in the House to act.”

Rep. Swalwell was right. McConnell is sending the signal to Trump with his sham trial that there will be no consequences for his actions. It could even be argued that McConnell is encouraging Trump to cheat because the cheating would benefit Senate Republicans.

Trump is responsible for his own actions, but the corruption within the Republican Party has led to a breakdown of the accountability checks that the Founders designed in the Constitution.

2. Every Dem should blast Moscow Mitch and his Do Nothing Senate

We should hear hourly pressers with Dem leadership about the important legislation laying on MM's desk without a vote. He's packing the courts and ignoring his oath. He's a corrupt juror without even a semblance of integrity.

3. Moscow Mitch cheated the country out of a Supreme Court Justice.

8. and he has packed the courts too.

with inadequate judges. It is in our faces now, and the party of trump does not care about the oath they took or the country, or the people that they serve.

I think we all remember following the release of the wholly falsified mueller report, how he crowed and his idiot base danced in the streets... quadruple that by 10 fold and you’ll have what’s going to happen.

Why let them make a mockery of this??!!
