Rep. Eric Swalwell's Warning About What Trump Will Do If Elected Melts Projection Detectors

Doug P. | 12:25 PM on February 16, 2024

In Russia, Alexei Navalny, an opponent of Vladimir Putin who was being held in an Arctic prison, has died at the age of 47:

Alexei Navalny, Russian President Vladimir Putin's most formidable opponent, collapsed and died on Friday after a walk at the "Polar Wolf" Arctic penal colony where he was serving a three-decade jail term, the Russian prison service said.
The death of Navalny, a 47-year-old former lawyer, robs the disparate Russian opposition of its most courageous leader as Putin prepares for an election which will keep the former KGB spy in power until at least 2030.

Some Democrats, including Rep. Eric Swalwell, are trying to tie the above story to Donald Trump all while refusing to recognize the irony:

Let Navalny’s death be a warning to America. If returned to power, Donald Trump will jail his opponents. This isn’t a forecast, he has already told us this. There will be no evidence or due process. And certainly no opposition from Republicans in Congress.

Posting this as you guys try to jail Trump… the lack of self awareness is astounding.

All while the government has held people for years on charges of trespassing.

Trump never jailed opponents when he was in power but you did

Thank goodness the democrats would never seek to jail their opponents because their Russian collusion plan didn’t work.
