'We're going to get you': Eric Swalwell blames Marjorie Taylor Greene for threatening voicemail

Source: Alec Regimbal , SFGATE

California Rep. Eric Swalwell and Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene got into a Twitter spat Wednesday that culminated in Swalwell sharing an audio recording of a threatening voicemail he says was received during the back-and-forth.

In that voicemail, the caller insults Swalwell and says he's "going to get" Swalwell and his "mutant" kids.

"We're coming to your house this weekend, [we're] going to get you and the little mutant fascists, the little mutant offspring of yours," the caller said. "We're going to get you."

The feud between the two federal lawmakers centered on Swalwell's professional relationship with a woman who is suspected of being a Chinese spy, and began after Swalwell tweeted about an interaction he says he had at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

The road toward wanton, political violence against individuals is being paved, thanks to those who are in positions of authority. We are normalizing and condoning violence part of the social fabric.

We are deep into times that are more dangerous than the Civil War, thanks to morons like Greene and people on the Court who enable her unhinged followers.

that whoever left the voice-mail refers to Swalwell as a "fascist". Whoever it was doesn't understand what the words "facism/fascist" mean. I imagine they think themselves to be extremely intelligent though.

That's how Democrats are fascists and socialists simultaneously. These words also mean "Woke," "Communist," "Groomer," etc.

Think of them as sentence fillers.

FBI found no evidence he was compromised. As soon as he found out she was possibly a spy, he cut her loose, in 2015, no less. Fang left the country after living here for over 4 years, probably targeting up and coming politicians, including Rep. Swalwell, who was unaware of her activities. Speaker Pelosi and the minority weakling were briefed in late 2020, so as usual greene is a day late and a dollar short.
