BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Troy Nehls, R-Texas clashed at a fiery hearing on the child migrant crisis at the southern border, with Nehls making comments about Swalwell’s “checkered past” after the Democratic congressman quizzed a GOP witness about her activities on Jan 6. 2021.
But Swalwell diverted from the topic to quiz one of the witnesses about her activities on Jan 6., and whether she was on Capitol grounds during the riot.
“You’re here for a hearing on the border, and they don’t want to talk about the border. Mr. Swalwell is down there, obviously, everybody knows he’s made some comments, he’s got a checkered past,” said Nehls.
Swalwell shot back: “I’m sorry? A checkered past?”
“It’s my time,” Nehls said. “Alleged affairs, relationships with Yum Yum.”
“No, no, no. You don’t get to say that s—,” Swalwell replied. “That’s not true. It was not a sleezy affair, but instead it was a meaningful loving adulterous relationship.” He paused momentarily. “And I want my last words stricken from the record, just in case my wife wants to read the transcripts from this hearing.”
