Swalwell: ‘We Were Perceived as Being Weak When We Had Power’ Because We Let the Filibuster Get in the Way

EXCERPT:

SWALWELL: “People look at Democrats and they see that we had power. We had the White House, the Senate, and the House. But if you were a mom in America, you didn't think your kids were any safer at school from a mass shooting because we didn't pass background checks or an assault weapons ban, and we let the filibuster get in the way. So we were perceived as being weak when we had power.”
