Eric Swalwell

I thank the Witnesses for coming today. Again, I express my gratitude to Chair Sheila Jackson Lee.

Americans are 25 times as likely to die from gun violence as citizens in other countries.

Will Mr. Jordan denounce President Trump's termination of the Constitution?

I think it's in the best interests of the country. I think it's in the best interests of the Court where I spent 20 years.

I will wait to see if the Ranking Member endorses Donald Trump's call to terminate the Constitution.

Does he stand with Kanye and his hatred of Jews and love for Adolf Hitler, or will he denounce it?

We enact the will of the people through voting, not through violence.

I, and I believe most of my colleagues have denounced any threats of violence that have been made to any judges, to any public officials.

I hope you will be moved to stand up, do your constitutional duty, and do what we must do to keep our Nation healthy and strong, not only in the short term but for the next 250 years.

A Nation whose highest court was secretly and successfully infiltrated for over two decades by activists wining and dining their way to the legal outcomes they want is not the hallmark of a healthy Nation or a healthy democracy.

The Supreme Court needs a public, binding code of conduct. If the Court does not adopt its own, then Congress should require the Court to develop one.

Ethics is not a partisan issue. America is losing faith in an institution whose credibility is its currency--and for good reason.

The Constitution, and the American people for that matter, have entrusted this body to make the laws necessary to preserve the national well-being.

The voters rejected the vile, violent rhetoric of extremism that we've seen from the Republican Party.

Do we need more resources or should we reconsider who we allow to come to the United States?

I have not heard a plan, I have just heard grievances.

If the FBI was defunded, would that hurt or help child exploitation investigations?

If the FBI was defunded, would that hurt or help COVID fraud investigations for money that went into the communities during the time of COVID?

If the FBI was defunded, would that hurt or help terrorism investigations?

That is a rhetoric that the voters rejected, an extreme rhetoric that voters rejected last Tuesday.

You are not owed the bitter, divisive, cruel, violent rhetoric we heard from our colleague from Louisiana.

AFA supports Senator Reed and Representative Swalwell's bill, the Protection from Abusive Passengers Act.

No, no, Chris, if he has top secret documents, certainly on the other side of his possession of that, we would want to know what foreign nationals has he been in contact with, what foreign nationals around Mar-a-Lago has he been in contact…

But it takes responsible Republicans to unify and speak out against that. Otherwise, every day MAGA Americans will see it as a permissive lane, a green light, if you will to commit violence.

I see this as a party, a MAGA party that no longer is confident that they can win elections with votes. And so, now, they`re seeking to enact their political will through violence they prefer and they`re more comfortable with violence over…
