Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that speeches by former President Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last week emboldened those who want to take up arms against the U.S. government.

Mitchell asked, “Congressman, what can you report about this new warning about March 4?”

Swalwell said, “It aligns with warnings we’ve seen before the January 6 attack, post-January 6. I have to say it angers me. It angers me that I have colleagues who have stood with some of these groups, who have perpetuated the lies these groups have told around the election and have done nothing to quell or condemn these groups. When that’s the case, as Elizabeth Neumann testified formerly from the Homeland Security to the Homeland Security Committee a couple of weeks ago, that when groups are not condemned, they feel emboldened. The fact that I have colleagues that perpetuate this big lie about the election, that inspires these QAnon folks and makes them believe that they have a permissive operating environment. That makes all of us less safe and affects our ability to do our job here.”
