Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), best known for his ties to Chinese spy Christine Fang and for humiliating himself on national television, went completely unhinged during an appearance on CNN Newsroom, where he openly fantasized about “burying Republicans below the Capitol.”
During the segment, host Omar Jimenez reminded Swalwell of Michelle Obama’s infamous mantra, “when they go low, we go high.”
But instead of embracing the supposedly lofty ideals Democrats love to preach, Swalwell spat venom.
Omar Jimenez:
Do you have any concern that it seems like ancient history at this point, but obviously, in the earlier Obama years, there was, of course, the old adage that at this point is old: “When they go low, we go high.”It seems that fighting fire with fire meets them at that low point, I guess, to use that metaphor. Do you have any concern that this could overreach or could backfire?
Eric 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. Right now, as you see, D.C. has been militarized, and we were weak as Democrats, frankly.

A sitting member of Congress actually said Republicans should be buried below the Capitol.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) blasted Swalwell immediately, hammering him for his dangerous rhetoric:
Lauren Boebert: “In today’s edition of ‘Imagine the media reaction if I had been the one to say this…’ we have Eric Swalwell, without his Chinese spy girlfriend, on national TV saying Republicans should be buried below the Capitol.”
She’s exactly right. If a Republican had said anything remotely close to Swalwell’s threat, the media and Democrats would be foaming at the mouth, screaming about “incitement” and “dangerous extremism.”
Instead, Swalwell gets a free pass—because when Democrats call for violence, the press looks the other way.
