A 72-year-old man from Florida has been arrested and charged with, uh, basically calling Democratic
representative Eric Swalwell multiple times in the month of December.
And threatening to kill, not just representative Swalwell, but also his children.
I mean, specifically the man said in one phone call, um, I'm coming after you, uh, and kill
you, and I'm gonna come and kill your children.
Very explicit there.
The man of course, was charged this week.
His arraignment will be on January 24th, and of course, he was released on bail, so he's
still free.
You know, he's awaiting his arraignment in a couple weeks, but in the meantime, he's
a free man, even though this is not the first time that he has been arrested and charged
with threatening the life of another person.
So, repeat offender.
But courts are like, ah, you go scamper along until it's time to get here.
Don't you go threaten to kill any more congressmen and their children.
We'll see you at the end of January, basically, is what the court said.
This man, again, 72 years old, so he threatened to kill Eric Swalwell, threatened to kill
Eric Swalwell, hiss children.
So the question is why they, well, what is Swalwell doing that's you off?
Well, that's where things get a little interesting, right?
Because in one of the phone calls that this man made to Eric Swalwell, he talked about
the fact that Eric Swalwell was involved with a Chinese spy, and he referred to the Chinese
spy in one of the phone calls as Fang Fang.
Now, if that sounds familiar, don't be surprised because that is the exact same language and
the exact same debunked allegation that Donald Trump himself has leveled against Eric Swalwell.
So this man in these phone call death threats that he issued to, uh, representative Swalwell
is using the same language that Donald Trump has, u has used to attack Swalwell.
That that's not a coincidence, folks.
It's cause and effect.
This man is being bombarded every day with conservative propaganda.
For the record, Eric Swalwell was investigated, uh, by the House Ethics Committee.
They found no wrongdoing on his part.
Okay, let's get that outta the way real quick.
Swalwell was not involved with a Chinese spy.
Nevertheless, this man bought into the propaganda, bought into Donald Trump's talking points
to the point where he repeated them during his death threats, and he's still walking
around.
The state of Florida hadn't even had an arraignment yet.
That's not coming till January 24th.
And this isn't the first time he's been arrested for making death threats, death threats against
people that Donald Trump has attacked, or anybody that's perceived as doing wrong to
Donald Trump are increasing across this country at an alarming
Rate.
We see it with the Colorado Supreme Court.
We have seen it with the prosecutors going after Donald Trump.
We have seen it with the judges that have ruled against Donald Trump or even just overseeing
his trials.
This is becoming an epidemic here in the United States.
Trump's supporters are dangerous.
Maybe not all of them, obviously, but enough of them are enough of them to make a difference,
are dangerous, and they should not be walking around.
You threaten to kill a member of Congress and their children.
You need to be behind bars until that arraignment.
You probably need to be behind bars until the trial.
You shouldn't be walking around on a low level bail, but this is where we are.
These people are walking around the streets still free to basically do whatever the hell
they want.
And the investigations into the people making these threats are moving too slowly to keep
anyone safe.
