AOC: Republicans Removed Swalwell from Intel Committee as ‘Revenge’ for His ‘Incisive Ability to Communicate’
EXCERPT:
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “Well, I think when we look at all three of these, first of all, when you look at Swalwell and Schiff, their targeting and the Republican Party's targeting of all three of them have always been about campaigning and it has always been about the perspectives that they bring. It is about political revenge in the case of all three of them. Political revenge for Adam Schiff for his work on the impeachment of Donald Trump. Political revenge with Eric Swalwell in the incisive — his incisive ability to communicate against the Trump Administration and the wrongdoings of the Republican Party. And in the case of Ilhan Omar, I believe that hers is absolutely especially amplified with racist targeting because this is what fed her base. This is the same representative that Donald Trump held rallies around saying send her back to, quote/unquote, her country. Her country is the United States of America. She is an American. And so, you know, in the case of all three of these expulsions, there is either political revenge, or there is the absolute agenda of racist, misogynist and xenophobic targeting.
