Swalwell on the L.A. Riots: America’s Streets Are Starting to Look Like They’re Run by a Monarchy or a Dictator

‘Masked men going to schools, going to car washes, going to farms, and just pulling people into unmarked cars’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SWALWELL: "Well, right now America’s streets are starting to look like they’re run by a monarchy or a dictator. When you see, as amy pointed out, masked men going to schools, going to car washes, going to farms, and just pulling people into unmarked cars, that doesn’t look like America. That looks like the kgb in the town square and Russia. And we don’t want to look like that. And I actually, Nicole, I’m surprised at the number. And I maybe approach this with a little bit of a bias. As a son of a cop and a brother to cops and a former prosecutor. And I thought, well, people will just accept that this is what police officers do. And I have been completely floored by regular people who tell me this does not look like America. Show your faces. And I think as Democrats, I’ve heard from enough colleagues that when we’re in the majority, when it comes to ice enforcements, we are going to require them to show their faces for the safety of every American. But also, if you’re not doing anything wrong and you’re standing on the law, you shouldn’t have anything to hide."
