Swalwell on Trump: The L.A. Protests Are About a Mad King, Hell Bent on Going After Anyone Who Shows Dissent

‘If you think about who he has arrested, it could be any of us’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SWALWELL: "Nicole, these. Protests this weekend are not only about immigrants, otherwise known as our friends and neighbors who came here in awe of America and with a will to work. They’re also about a mad king who is hell bent on going after anyone who shows dissent. And if you think about who he has arrested, it could be any of us. We’ve seen a us member of Congress indicted this week, a senior senator arrested, but also in the last month, a four year old American citizen, child battling cancer deported. So somewhere between the four year old boy fighting cancer and the senior senator from California who was arrested is all of us. This could be all of us. And the important part of this protest is that Donald Trump may pick off individuals and be able to take away an individual’s freedom, but he can’t take away all of our voices. And that’s why it’s so important this weekend that we show up and make sure that he ultimately backs down."
