On June 10, 2025, Rep. Swalwell commented on pardons issued by a political figure. In his tweet he stated: “Bro you pardoned 1,600 people who beat up cops”.
Later that day, Swalwell addressed the use of military personnel in domestic affairs. He tweeted: “America agrees: this is NOT how we use our Marines.”
In another post on the same day, Swalwell criticized former President Donald Trump’s treatment of military troops. He remarked: “This is how Donald Trump treats the troops he deploys. He sees them as suckers and losers whose only purpose is to act on his political whims. Disgusting.”
