"Look, I actually don't think there's been enough Republicans to condemn this. I wouldn't call it unity at all. In fact, there's around 270-plus Republicans who serve in the Congress between the House and the Senate. So, that means we're talking about, you know, under 10% have even spoken about this. From the time that Trump came down that golden escalator and insulted Mexicans, he's displayed a racism that's never been seenin an office this high."
"But the posting of the Obamas it's so vile, Alex. It's so low. It just shocks the conscience. As shocking as the Republican silence. They help Donald Trump cover the country in shame. His indecency, posting a vile image like this, his cruelty, publicly executing people in the streets, the lack of compassion, chasing immigrants through the fields where they work. That really, to me, is the message, is a lower cost message."
Eric Swalwell condemned the lack of Republican condemnation after President Trump posted a racist image of the Obamas and called the posting vile and conscience-shocking. Swalwell quantified Republican inaction, saying fewer than 10% of congressional Republicans spoke out, and described Trump’s long-recorded racism beginning with the escalator remark. Swalwell portrayed recent Trump behavior as indecent and cruel, citing public executions and mistreatment of immigrants, and framed the political consequence as a demand that the public pay less for that conduct. Swalwell vowed Democrats will use leverage to pressure investigators to subpoena Trump to testify.
