First, here’s what happened on Tuesday in the US House:
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) on Tuesday started naming all the countries that would bar Donald Trump from entering once he is officially a convicted felon, while listing reasons he believed his Republican colleagues were “in a cult.”
Swalwell listed all the countries while Chair Jim Jordan of Ohio yelled over him to try and restore order as his time expired, and as another Republican called for Swalwell’s words to be removed from the record.
“The gentlemen is out of order, the time has expired!” Jordan yelled before banging his gavel. Swalwell’s suggestions came during a Republican-led committee’s annual oversight hearing of the Department of Justice.
Read the full article.
Last night Swalwell took another run at the issue on his TikTok account in a skit performed with the help of his Capitol Hill staffers. Watch until the end.
Eric Swalwell goes down a list of countries that Trump, as a convicted felon, will be persona non grata — not allowed to enter.
Hint: It’s basically a map of the world.
