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 dont need you to reach out. Go arrest the monsters threatening my kids. Which you REFUSE to do. But when a MAGA supporter is threatened youre Johnny-on-the-Spot.
Kashs girlfriend has better protection than any Democrat in Congress. You want us dead."

(1,404 posts)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.

He's one of our best.
First way of dealing with prejudices is admitting prejudices. Im trying!
Hey, last fall I was in Dallas, liberal neighborhood, but I saw a MAGA sign. Being a passenger I couldnt 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!
