Swalwell on Redistricting War: When Republicans Go Low, We’re Going to Bury Them Below the Capitol

EXCERPT:

SWALWELL: "No. When they go low, we‘re going to bury them below the Capitol. That‘s what we‘re going to do, because this is about protecting democracy. And right now, as you see, D.C. has been militarized, and we were weak as Democrats, frankly. We passed, under Speaker Pelosi in the House of Representatives in April 2021. D.C. statehood. And what happened in the Senate? A few in the Senate refused to break the filibuster, and look where we are today. So we have paid the price for our weakness in the past, and we can‘t be so weak next time we have power. Gavin Newsom is making Donald Trump react to him with the lawsuits, with this new map to match what‘s happening in Texas. And the way I see it is either we‘re on our heels and the most vulnerable are on their heels reacting to Donald Trump, or he‘s on his heels reacting to us."
