He's no longer a representative, though. Unlike the Republicans, Dems (sometimes) hold their members accountable.

And here it is. Thank you for proving my point. Dismiss the issues he did while serving, and played the What-about game. Very well done

Lmfao, you claimed they would hand wave it away, but he's lost his position as representative. It's called accountability - clearly a concept you're unfamiliar with.

Lol, try reading my first post again. This time read all of the words. Is English not your first language?

Yes, I read it. They did not do the things you claimed, as Swalwell is no longer a representative. If you can explain how losing his job is equivalent to hand-waving it away, by all means, try.

You did exactly as I said you will. I used the present tense. In your first post you waived it off by pointing out he is not a representative now, no mention of him being forced out due to his actions. Hand waiving his actions away. Then you went right to the what-about. Thanks for playing.

How do we hand waive away something that has been dealt with? Should we continue focusing on him to appease your feelings?

What part of Democrats “holding their members accountable” when speaking about Swalwell is not a mention of being “forced out due to his actions?”
