A few hours later on January 25, 2026, he commented on an incident involving another member of Congress: “Horrified to hear about the violent, racist attack on my friend @RepMaxwellFrost. I’m glad he’s OK. Every colleague of mine needs to condemn this.”
On January 27, 2026, Swalwell posted a brief inquiry regarding someone’s well-being: “Are you OK?”
