Rep. Eric Swalwell, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 14th district, shared his views on social media regarding gun control and political leadership. His tweets reflect his stance on key issues facing the nation.
On March 4, 2025, Rep. Swalwell criticized the distribution of ghost guns, expressing concern for children’s safety with the statement: “Giving ghost guns to killers for a ‘right to self defense?’ Wrong. Our kids have a right to come home from school.”
The following day, March 5, 2025, he commented on Donald Trump’s upcoming address to Congress by stating: “Donald Trump is about to give his address to Congress—the least popular president at this point in his term ever. Here’s what you won’t hear: any real solutions for working families. What you will hear? Lies, excuses, and a whole lot of Putin-approved nonsense.” This tweet highlighted his criticism of Trump’s presidency and its impact on American families.
Later that day, Rep. Swalwell further expressed his disapproval of former President Trump by contrasting him with a historical figure: “George Washington is a founder of democracy, and Donald Trump is ready to burn it all down.” This comment underscores Swalwell’s concerns about the state of democracy under Trump’s influence.
