Tempers flared at a House hearing Wednesday after a Republican lawmaker went off on Rep. Eric Swalwell over his ties to a suspected Chinese spy, prompting the Democrat to fire back: “You do not get to say that s–t.”
The Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security and Enforcement hearing turned bad-tempered after Swalwell (D-Calif.) spent his question time interrogating border security advocate Sheena Rodriguez about her presence on the Capitol grounds during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.
At one point during Swalwell’s grilling of the witness, a Republican lawmaker asked him to yield, but he declined and continued until his time expired.
That’s when Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) stepped in.
“I apologize that you had to — you’re here for a hearing on the border, [Democrats] don’t want to talk about a border,” Nehls told Rodriguez, who was at the hearing to testify about the exploitation of migrant children she claimed to have witnessed during more than three dozen visits to the US-Mexico border.
