Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) went after former President Trump for his legal woes in an interview on MSNBC Saturday.
“I’ll take the individual who’s 81 over the guy who has 91 felony counts,” Swalwell said, making a reference to President Biden’s age in an interview on MSNBC’s “The Katie Phang Show” on Saturday.
“It’s not about two individuals,” Swalwell continued, speaking about the 2024 election. “It’s about the idea of competence versus chaos, or even greater, freedom versus fascism. If we make it about those ideas, and what they mean in our daily lives, we’re gonna win.”
Swalwell’s comments come after Trump was ordered to pay almost $355 million in penalties in a civil fraud case and amid increased scrutiny faced by the president on his age and memory in the wake of a special counsel report on Biden’s handling of classified documents. The report noted that Biden had problems with memory and recall.
Do you think this one sentence was the only opportunity every Democrat had to talk about this?
I think Democrats are not talking about Trump being a rapist very much and not talking about how he wants to be a dictator enough. And instead are going for what they think are pithy soundbites.
“Don’t vote for the rapist” seems like a pretty good sell to me.
Are they talking about the genocide enough or is that one of the topics you’d like to sweep under the rug?
Sounds like you’ve already decided I support Israel, so I doubt anything I say about that would change your mind.
But do feel free to support that decision with evidence.
If you’re supporting Biden, you’re supporting Israel. Do I need to explain how that train of thought works?
Please tell me which candidate that has a chance of winning that I should vote for in order to keep the traitor rapist wannabe dictator out of office. I’ll consider voting for them. Because I don’t like genocide either. And I don’t want to see my queer daughter being part of the Republican genocide they dream about.
I’m not here to help you morally justify your vote. You’ll have to live with your choice for the rest of your life.
Surely you have other options besides genocide abroad and genocide domestic.
Again, please name the candidate that has a chance of winning.
I guess it’s time to rise up and say no more genocide.
