People who receive a real threat call the police, they don’t put their freakin’ logo on it and tweet it out.
Eric Swalwell has an interesting habit of tweeting out all of these death threats he magically gets from people with a southern accent. Ok, men with a southern accent. When you see these various threats he’s tweeted in the past year you’ll notice they’re always conveniently timed so he can play the victim and blame some evil right-winger like Trump, MTG, or McCarthy.
For example, Eric was just kicked off his committee … so he’s claiming McCarthy lied about him having an inappropriate relationship with a Communist Chinese spy and so this crazy guy who sounds a lot like the other crazy guys sent him a death threat.
Listen:
This death threat is what happens when the FBI *repeatedly* says I have done nothing wrong and yet Kevin McCarthy persists in spreading lies about me out of pure vengeance. pic.twitter.com/duQWNIoBoL

Pure vengeance.
What?
HA HA HA HA
We pulled his other death threats so everyone can see what he’s shared …
LISTEN to this death threat against my children. Since the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, Trump, McCarthy, and MAGA Republicans are stoking violent rhetoric against lawmakers and law enforcement. Someone is going to get killed. pic.twitter.com/k9tmmjzhtK

See?
MCCARTHY. TRUMP. REEEEEE.
But wait, there’s more.
Have a LISTEN 🔊
Marjorie loves to play the victim. But she’s an inciter of violence. Her constant attacks — even after the FBI said I was never suspected of wrongdoing — lead to threatening calls like this. This caller from today threatened to kill my three children. https://t.co/MlR1ogAxN3 pic.twitter.com/xVWosh1Uco

See how he was bringing up the FBI ‘clearing’ him even then?

Seems like a theme.
A staffer of mine—who’s 1 month into her job—received a call from a man saying he’s coming to our office w/ an assault rifle to kill me. I hesitate to share this but how else do I tell you we are in violent times, & the architects are Trump & McCarthy. Bloodshed is coming.

FYI, we never heard anything else about any of these threats.
Seems sorta convenient, yea?
You’re still alive. This man is dead because of your violent rhetoric. pic.twitter.com/wl4EUtUR4z

He explicitly mentions due process, it's not like he threatened to nuke law abiding citizens.

Where is the FBI on the previous "calls", do you have case numbers you wanna share?
— Scott Coleman (@bandphan) January 12, 2023
Nooooope.
I'll take things that are made up for a thousand Alex come on there Mr seaweed you know you made that up You're just trying to get some attention so you can play the victim

LOL, who in your office did you pay to record that? Was it the same person who slapped your logo on it too? I know that there are plenty of people who are stupid enough to believe that this is legit but most of us know better 😂

Could these threats that all sound very similar and say the same sort of things be real? Sure. But if they are, Eric shouldn’t be posting them on Twitter to score points. He should be working with the police to protect himself and his family.
But since he’s on Twitter begging for attention?
Eh.
