A lot of House Republicans have done a decent job of disgracing themselves over the past week.
But don’t forget that Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell has been disgracing himself for a lot longer:
Rep. Eric Swalwell says that President Trump "inspired and radicalized people to storm the Capitol" in the same way that Osama bin Laden inspired 9-11 pic.twitter.com/ciUbW45tfg

This is absolutely idiotic https://t.co/Lzwf1zVZbU

On multiple levels.
This is such a slap in the face to the victims of 9/11 https://t.co/MoVEXAhqN4

Casting POTUS as a terrorist. Exactly the kind of accusation the Chinese Communist Party would love to see promulgated by an American congressman. After being compromised by a Chinese spy, how is this man not only still in Congress, but on TV, *and* an impeachment manager? https://t.co/iMxI1TMjpZ

Further confirms how this guy got duped by a Chinese spy. https://t.co/fxd2DYBUq9

Not to mention stirring the pot quite a bit himself.

No Eric, calling people radicalized and comparing them to Osama bin Laden won't incite people further. Nope, not at all. It's only incitement when the right talks, and they don't even have to use such rhetoric to qualify. https://t.co/fI6vqpsK5z

Is Jake Tapper gonna go on a Twitter rampage about Swalwell’s nasty, inflammatory rhetoric?
We won’t hold our breath. Swalwell’s got that big (D), after all.
Now normal people might think saying something like that would be incendiary and inciteful, seeing as it'd further alienate one side and cause the other to call for justice and retribution against such "terrorists," but he's a Democrat, so it's obviously not that at all.
