Rep. Swalwell: Trump Is Not an ‘America First’ President, He’s a ‘Me First’ President
EXCERPT:
SWALWELL: “Me, me, me. That is always going to be the priority when it comes to Donald Trump, and it couldn’t have happened to the country on a worse day than January 6th. He’s not an America First president, he’s a ‘me first’ president, and we see that in every way that he tries to lead. And so, it’s not surprising that he could have done more and didn’t. And by the way, if his defense is — and I see this in my own lawsuit that we have against him for January 6th — if his defense is no, no, no, the mob that was there took me, you know, figuratively — they took me literally rather than figuratively when I said we’re going to the Capitol and that we have to fight like hell, well, if it was a mistake for them to go there or they misinterpreted you, wouldn’t you do everything in your power once you saw those violent images of police officers being beaten at the Capitol to stop that and to send them home and to have reinforcements from the Guard come in? He did nothing. And so, we can derive from the absence of action his motive and his intent.”
