Former President Trump called Swalwell a ‘lowlife’, and claimed that he is not respected by anybody. Swalwell also Tweeted about the bill. You can read his tweet below…
How far will Fox go to attack me? This isn’t even my bill — it’s a brilliant bill written by @RepNikema. Which, of course I support! And by the way, when the village nearly burns down, we don’t invite the arsonist back to visit. Duh. https://t.co/4aEKW3ebYF

Georgia Representative Nikema Williams also tweeted about the bill. See her response below…
👋🏾 Hey @FoxNews, glad to see you read my bill (even if you didn't read my name)! @RepSwalwell co-sponsored my legislation, but I'll sign on to his analogy: let's keep the arsonists out of the Capitol y'all. https://t.co/BkcRTDFT6U

With our country continuing to suffer under extremely harsh economic conditions, it is a pathetic shame that this is what Democrats are worried about. Petty legislation with no meaning, other than to be used as a promotional tool for the fools who proposed it.
Donald Trump, etc should not be allowed no where near the Capitol after such destruction. Former potus actually stood by with his power and allowed destruction by his maggots. No, none who participated in that riot or insurrection, etc should be prosecuted.
