Ultimately, no congressional lawmakers spoke at the event, although three House Republican candidates - Joe Kent of Washington state, Mike Collins of Georgia and Jeff Zink of Arizona did speak and attend, Spectrum News reported.
Rally attendees shared their anger during the event, with one yelling,"Where's [Republican House Minority Leader Kevin] McCarthy? Where's [RepublicanRep. Swalwell shared his views about the rally on social media and blamed Republicans for attending the gathering. He said:"Blessed by @GOPLeader McCarthy, radical Republicans are celebrating cop killers and terrorists at the U.S. Capitol.
"McCarthy condones this as many injured Jan. 6 officers have not yet returned to work. This is like holding a 9/11 vigil...for the hijackers. Nice work, Kevin." The tweet has since been liked more than 24,200 times and has been retweeted on more than 7,780 occasions."I don't think anyone" from the House would attend the rally.McCarthy, Radical Republicans are celebrating cop killers & terrorists at the US Capitol. McCarthy condones this as many injured Jan. 6 officers have not yet returned to work. This is like holding a 9/11 vigil…for the hijackers. Nice work, Kevin.
Eric Swalwell needs to resign for his 4 years of lies on his party’s Russian collusion hoax plus passing US intelligence to a Chinese spy!
Wait, the cop who died on Jan 6 died of a stroke
No cop was killed. But a cop did kill an unarmed woman for breaking door, and walked scott free. Where was your outrage ?
Please enlighten us: which cop was killed by your supposed cop killers and terrorists?
What is wrong with people? ANYONE who supports the Capital riot is seriously mentally il.
He’s not wrong.
RepSwalwell shouldn’t even be in office. He’s a national security risk, totally partisan, who cares for nothing but power.
Oh ya and this is from a guy who was sleeping with a Chinese spy LOL
Communist suck up Swalwell should be locked up for treason by sleeping with and supporting an enemy spy.
Where do you see this riot result ? Haven't seen that or heard of any out of control !demonstrators. Maybe you should try reporting the truth, i know truth hurts and don't sell your brand but lies, don't sell either, especially if your lie isn't seen in real life.
That's all Republicans are, radicalized.
And…..?
We must rid the US of all Republicans. They are bad for lives of Americans.
And wait, does Swalwell hate blacks? Because black Americans kill more police than any other race.
And yet the only death was that of a civilian being shot by a cop who was not even in danger lol.
Perfect analogy.
The Trump-inspired GOP is functioning as a terrorist organization. Currently, COVID-19 enabling, election misinformation and voter disenfranchisement are its primary weapons. Our democracy is in peril. Right-wing defenders demonstrate just how far this country has fallen.
suggest everyone research the original Radical Republicans. They wanted to punish the south and we’re against the klan at the end of the Civil War.
Accurate
These two events are Incomparable at any level. Any Democrat or Republican holding office should be utterly ashamed to have said such an egregious thing
Eric Swalwell has been compromised.
IngGuthrie Rep Swalwell is 100% correct.
Rafael (who hates being called Latino) says: I wish I was at that rally
He's not wrong
Court martial this guy for treason!!!!
People who attended the JusticeforJ6 rally should be ashamed of themselves. They condone racism, domestic terrorism and violence against our Capital Police. Period.
True
Eric Swalwell is a friend of the Chinese Communist Party and should be prosecuted as a spy.
Rep Swalwell is 100% correct.
On anniversary of 9/11 Trump kiss up to cops in New York ..A week later he support cop killers.
I can’t believe you said that. What about the woman a policeman shot and killed in the Capital No mention of that? The other four people that died were not directly killed by the protesters.
God I love this dude - A Republican conservative Republican who tells it like it is - it's unfortunate he does not have a future in the party because the party has been taken over by people who think ( Jewish space lasers cause California wildfires) - and SATAN I meant weirdos.
Why are there so many angry and dissatisfied Caucasians, in our country?
