Swallwell's comment wasn't about or to anyone but Biden. It concerned Biden's career as a Senator ehrnst Jul 2019 #124

Maddow was the one who drew the comparison with her question Celerity Jul 2019 #128

She was also describing what people wanted her to ask him about... ehrnst Jul 2019 #132

then she rebutted her own inference (which came via her own question) Celerity Jul 2019 #140
