A lot of my Republican colleagues glorify violence and proudly display the firearms they have in their offices, so it just makes me nervous that we could have a workplace violent event. They’re not the most stable people,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) told Raw Story after voting for Speaker this week.



It’s the opposite on the right. Dismissing, deflecting, or denying all things Jan. 6 has become en-vogue in today’s GOP (at least to those who’ve avoided being labeled ‘Never Trump’ before being retired).

Democrats can’t not think about it. Especially the handful of their GOP colleagues many suspect to know are seditious felons.

They already have a history of letting insurrectionists in the building and showing them around,” Swalwell—who made public some of the vile death threats his family has endured—said. “So it just seems like a recipe for disaster.”
