Swalwell: Trump Shutting Down Government So Dems Shouldn’t Vote to Fund it

The Chinese spy loving Eric Swalwell is clear.  If we can’t have waste, corruption, fraud and abuse, we should close down the government.  At least he is honest—he likes wasting TRILLIONS of your dollars.  He wants government to finance terrorists, perverts and media that hates America.  Eric wants to finance organizations that sue to create chaos in government.

“Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said on Friday in “MSNBC Reports” that President Donald Trump is already shutting down the government, so Democrats should not vote to fund it.

Swalwell said, “What we have to do in Congress, you know, is the branch that funds government and that funds the Department of Justice is to put in place, you know, guardrails and protections against this and that funding is coming up, by the way, in just a couple of weeks.”

He is scared that organizations, funded by the government will be shut down.  The Progressives need tax dollars to destroy the government.

The Left had a slogan, Defund the Police.  Today Americans have a slogan, “Defund the Left”.

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said on Friday in “MSNBC Reports” that President Donald Trump is already shutting down the government, so Democrats should not vote to fund it.

Swalwell said, “What we have to do in Congress, you know, is the branch that funds government and that funds the Department of Justice is to put in place, you know, guardrails and protections against this and that funding is coming up, by the way, in just a couple of weeks.”

Host Ali Vitali asked, “I’m glad that you asked about that funding, because there has been a lot of conversations about Democrats being able to leverage their standing here. Usually Republicans need Democrats to help them continue to keep the government open, help continue funding. What’s the leverage point that you’re comfortable with Democrats using? Would you be comfortable shutting down the government? And to what end? What do you need to extract from these negotiations?”

Swalwell said, “Donald Trump right now is shutting down the government. He shutting down federal aid that’s supposed to go to organizations. He is shutting down the FBI by firing agents. He’s shutting down the CIA with forced resignations. He is shutting down aid that is supposed to go out and help people. Democrats want to keep government open. So our leverage is that we’re not going to provide, I’m not speaking for others, but speaking for myself, I’m not going to provide a vote that enables a further shutdown.”

  1. The Republicans that are trying to unseat “Eric The Terrible” may be licking their chops if reading this. In fact, I have seldom been more certain the party occupying the White House will actually GAIN seats during the midterms. The Demorats are putting their proverbial feet in their mouths.

  2. Throughout the grand scheme of things you’ll receive a B- just for effort and hard work. Exactly where you lost me personally was first in your particulars. As it is said, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be much more true here. Having said that, allow me say to you just what exactly did work. Your authoring is actually pretty engaging and this is possibly the reason why I am making an effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, although I can certainly see a leaps in logic you make, I am definitely not confident of exactly how you seem to connect the points which produce the conclusion. For right now I will, no doubt subscribe to your point however trust in the future you actually connect the facts better.

  3. Do you mind if I quote a couple of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your weblog? My blog site is in the exact same niche as yours and my users would truly benefit from a lot of the information you present here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Many thanks!
