Dem Rep. Goes On Live TV, Says POTUS Trump Is Working for the Russians (Watch)
California Congressman Eric Swalwell might run for president in 2020.
No joke.
The man somehow thinks he may have a chance. Either that or he’s looking for a lucrative book deal down the line.
Based on zero evidence, Eric thinks President Trump is a Russian agent.
These libs, I tell ya!
From Free Beacon:
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) said Friday that he believes President Donald Trump is a Russian agent working on behalf of Moscow.
MSNBC host Chris Matthews: “Do you believe the president, right now, has been an agent of the Russians?“
Swalwell: “Yes, I think there’s more evidence that he is.“
Matthews: “Agent?“
Swalwell: “Yes, and I think all the arrows point in that direction, and I haven’t seen a single piece of evidence that he’s not.“
Matthews: “An agent like in the 1940s where you had people who were ‘reds,’ to use an old term, like that? In other words, working for a foreign power?“
Swalwell: “He’s working on behalf of the Russians, yes.“
WATCH:
The thing about Swalwell is that he’s a typical progressive.
He wants guns confiscated by any means.
He even suggested nuking Americans who fight back.
From Daily Wire:
Swalwell made the comment in response to a May news article on his radical plan that was widely recirculated on Twitter on Friday in which he called for a $15 billion government program to confiscate millions of guns from Americans.

And it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them. But they’re legit. I’m sure if we talked we could find common ground to protect our families and communities.

More from Swalwell, who admitted to conservative Dana Loesch he wants to ban guns:
She’s not lying. We should ban assault weapons by buying them back or restricting them to ranges/clubs. #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/XbRpOvXlF3

Fair question. Rifles. They’re more powerful and cause more carnage when used with a pistol-grip. See @ScottPelley @60Minutes piece. To reduce semi-auto pistol deaths I’d have universal background checks and mandatory reporting on mental health.

Reactions:
"If you don't turn over your guns, we'll nuke you" is definitely a reasonable argument to make. https://t.co/4YFDxi1CPf

It must not be against @Twitter TOS to casually insinuate that it’s better to give up our guns than die in a thermo-nuclear blast at the hands of the U.S. gov’t.

I'm stunned there were enough sheep to vote so this guy ended up with a "Rep" in front of his name. The U.S. government is now going to nuke…….get this……..its own people. https://t.co/S0NuyMZD2r

Personally, I have a bigger problem with an elected official blithely talking about nuking his fellow Americans than my neighbor owning an AR-15. But YMMV. https://t.co/yfiRAeuCn3

You assume that members of our combined forces would follow unconstitutional orders, and take up arms against citizens of the United States. Short war indeed. .cc @DLoesch @KyleKashuv

AR-15s are so dangerous that we must nuke gun owners to confiscate them

The 2020 Democrat presidential field is likely to be as crowded as the GOP’s in 2016.
Possible contenders include:
Former Vice President Joe Biden. Former Attorney General Eric Holder, the only cabinet-level official to ever be held in contempt of Congress.
Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Fame-seeking lawyer Michael Avenatti.
Senators Kamala Harris (CA), Cory Booker (NJ), and Elizabeth Warren (MA).
Sens. Bernie Sanders (VT) and Amy Klobuchar (MN).
Former New York City Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg, too.
Why not Swalwell?
Add Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., to what is expected to be a crowded field lining up to run against President Donald Trump in 2020, according to Politico.
“He’s definitely running,” a source told Politico, because Rep. Swalwell has not officially announced his intentions to campaign for president.
Rep. Swalwell, 37, will reportedly be the first potential candidate to head to Iowa. He grew up in Iowa, the famed location of the Iowa Caucuses will kick off the primary season across the United States every four years.
How about ex-Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper?
From The Hill:
“I’m the governor of Colorado and I’m gonna run for president,” Hickenlooper said during a stop in New Hampshire, where he’s campaigning for down-ballot Democrats.

65 million people voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Texas Senate loser Beto O’Rourke just broke every single one of their hearts.
"I will not be a candidate for president in 2020,” Beto O'Rourke tells @GarrettHaake.
“That’s I think as definitive as those sentences get.” https://t.co/aLDxTCMo4q pic.twitter.com/jPdiTZHOiS

Beto has been caught lying about his mother being a “lifelong Republican” and saying he did not flee the scene of a hit and run accident (he actually did).
An undercover video reveals Beto’s team is using campaign funds to aid the migrant caravan making its way through Mexico to the United States.
