congressman eric swalwell one of the most outspoken democrats a new up-and-coming democrat the kind that we need leaving our messaging because he doesn't take right-wing attacks sitting down he doesn't sort of look for the common ground with the lunatic fringe on the right i'm not talking about mitt romney or people who you can disagree with but actually talk to him talking about matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene and the lunatics of the right the the vicious far right frankly nazis the ones who are trying to inspire attacks and that's what eric swalwell talked about today we have a first amendment in this country folks i'm a writer i've read a book i've written columns and such um i sitting right here using my free speech but when you get to the point when you're slandering people and you're inciting violence against them where does it stop other countries enforce these rules try showing a nazi symbol in germany see how quickly you get arrested they enforce libel law in the united kingdom and in canada in the united states we let these people call themselves news so eric swalwell sent out a threat explaining this explaining how it works and this is what they do um i'm going to read it to you fox news wants me and my staff physically harmed here's how they do it this week jesse waters and tucker carlson the two little small dicks on the fox lied and said i traveled to paris see the ritz with my staff they showed pictures of two staff members so they claimed were on the trip i haven't been to france since 2015. that's correct he hasn't been there in seven years fox news went to air on something they called news with this segment saying he was in paris with his staff wasting taxpayer money who's now lie why is fox news allowed to call itself news why don't we have standards for what's news in this country why do they don't have to issue a retraction afterwards why don't we have truth in news requirements we have truth and advertising requirements for corporations why is it that in politics people can say whatever they want make up whatever lies and get away with it we've understood that in certain places that truth and making sure people aren't harmed is more important than the right to just say anything you can't threaten the president's life you can't share child porn it's a good thing you can't sexually harass people at government jobs that's not protected speech so let's go on here um the staffers whose pictures they showed in paris did not travel to france i zoomed into an event with democrats living abroad our campaign covered the costs but tucker and jesse don't care no they don't they care about ratings and they don't care who they get killed along the way and then the death threats flood in here's the final one to protect me family staff against fox news inspired death threats we hire security then foxy's attacks us for spending money on security so perfect isn't it little tucker and his he doesn't have to spend money his money on security i know mommy left him and he's been a really angry man because of that ever since but you know he's got that nice swanson fruits and food fortune to pay for his security for his his need for whatever security there is i don't think anybody will who's not a right-wing troll would want to get within 20 feet of that cockroach but you know apparently he may need security um the fox news attacks us for spending money on security measures and death threats pour in repeat this is intended to bring harm to me and my staff or see me silenced and actually that's the key part is they don't like swalwell and they don't like gallego they don't like katie porter and they don't like stacey abrams they don't like this next generation that that realizes what we're up against in the democratic party um realizes what we're up against i mean the democrats realize what we're up against the republican party that they're authoritarians and many of them are aspiring fascists or our fascists and they use their military wing the threat of violence as they've been doing with abortion clinics for 30 years now by the way that using language to inspire the crazy people to show up and protest women going to exercise their rights to intimidate them not to and every once in a while an abortion doctor gets shot no there's nothing we can do about it bill o'reilly i was on bill o'reilly's show arguing with him when he was going after george tiller uh doctor in kimberley kansas taylor taylor the baby killer you
