Remind me, which party was Wilson again?


Rep. Eric Swalwell✔
@RepSwalwell

The same party that stands up for your wife more than you do. Next question.

1. Ouch, ouch, OUCH.

[alittlelark]

2. Cuz he is jealous - He is a VERY SMALL 'man'.

[Thekaspervote]

3. Good one!

[Midnight Writer]

4. Goddamn, Swalwell is almost mean enough to be a Republican.

[lastlib]

5. He's not really mean, he just tells the truth.....

...and that's mean to repuglikans.

He goes for the jugular and rips it open. Ted's only hope against Eric is to put a tourniquet around his neck.

8. I volunteer to tighten...

...it for him.

14. You have my blessing, catwoman!

20. Harry Truman was said to give Republicans give hell.

His response was “I don’t give them hell. I just tell the truth about them, and they think it’s hell.”

6. The razor sharp wit of Eric Swalwell....

... is one of the things that I admire about him.

One of my favorites was when someone asked why he went on Fox News, his reply was,
"Because both my parents are republicans, and it's the only time they get to see me on TV."

9. hadn't heard that, it's great!

[quickesst]

23. not only is he humble enough

... to laugh at himself, he makes it look easy to cut a republican in half with his unique brand of humor.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Lol

[quickesst]

24. *******

[smirkymonkey]

7. Touche, Eric!

That guy is good!

Ted doesn't stand a chance going up against him. He should really just give it a rest. He always comes out looking like an ass.

[MurrayDelph]

10. Because, like Sideshow Bob is to Bart Simpson

Cruz's massive (and undeserved) ego kept thinking it's just luck protecting his opponent, and next time he'll get 'in.

[duforsure]

11. Remind me ,

Who shut the Government down with quotes from a children's book costing us billions? Who refused to convict criminal trump causing the numerous crisis we now are facing? Who is included in a party that is run by racists and fascists now, and is trying to take away health care from millions during a pandemic? Who Ted, or don't you remember. I do. Republicans are going to be destroyed this next election , and its a shame Cruz isn't on the ballot to be voted out of office this time.

13. K&R. Truth!

............

[rsdsharp]

21. He managed to totally misunderstand the meaning

of “Green Eggs and Ham.”

[tanyev]

22. No kidding. He read the whole thing out loud, right?

When he got to the end where Sam realizes he likes green eggs and ham, was Ted’s brain thinking, “Wait, that undercuts my argument” or was it too busy basking in “Ha! Nailed it! Suck on that libruls!” to notice?

12. Ether !!!

[Bettie]

16. I must have missed something

WHY is Ted Cruz going on about Wilson?

[StarfishSaver]

17. It"s part of the "Dems were racist 100 years ago and did you know Lincoln was Republican?" dodge

[Bettie]

18. Oh, that old thing

I guess since they have zero to stand on with regard to recent events, that's the best they can do.

[EffieBlack]

19. It's like heckling Richard Pryor

[jcgoldie]

25. Pretty brutal of Swalwell...

...engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed man!
