Eric Swalwell faces backlash for misleading post about Trump shooter

In the aftermath of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has come under fire for his misleading post regarding the shooter's political affiliation. The shooter, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was reportedly registered as a Republican. However, Swalwell conveniently left out two crucial pieces of information in his post.

Firstly, Crooks had reportedly made a donation through ActBlue on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, 2021, to the "Progressive Turnout Project." ActBlue is an online arm used to raise funds for Democratic causes. Secondly, it is a common practice for individuals to switch party registrations to try and influence the opposing party's race. This was seen in the case of Democrats switching to vote for Nikki Haley to stack up votes that were not for Trump.

Swalwell's post, which implied that the shooter was a Republican, was met with widespread criticism from Americans who saw through his attempt to deflect blame. Roseanne Barr, among others, called out Swalwell for his efforts to deflect and for ignoring the fact that the shooter had made a donation to a Democratic cause.


It is worth noting that Democrats, including President Joe Biden, have been ramping up their attacks on Trump, demonizing and dehumanizing him as an existential "threat." The internet is forever, and their attempts to erase their past actions will not be successful.

In conclusion, Swalwell's post was a clear attempt to deflect blame and push a narrative against Republicans. However, Americans were not fooled and called him out for his misleading post. It is important to remember that the truth will always come out, and attempts to deflect blame will only serve to further divide the country.
