So when is he going to confront Obama, you know, the guy who actually put kids in cages? These are not just random people promoting things like surrounding the DHS Secretary, these are lawmakers. Would they like it to happen to them if they push this nonsense?
Via Free Beacon:
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) on Thursday defended recent protests and downplayed crass behavior by those on the left, blaming President Donald Trump for their behavior.
CNN host Erin Burnett brought up a slew of “vile” acts, including hecklers forcing DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen out of a restaurant, House members screaming at Trump, and actor Peter Fonda’s offensive tweet. Fonda wrote, “we should rip Barron Trump from his mother’s arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles,” and later apologized, but Swalwell blamed Trump for creating this much “emotion in the country.”
“When you separate a baby from its breastfeeding mother and put that child in a cage, you’re going to see emotion in this country,” Swalwell said.
He added that he has received messages asking him to do something, and he expressed dissatisfaction that the House Judiciary Committee was instead looking at Hillary Clinton’s email scandal in light of the inspector general’s recent report. That report found bias at the FBI during the investigation of Clinton during her time as secretary of state.
