Rep. Eric Swalwell Calls GOP Rep. Andy Biggs A ‘Traitor’ For Jan. 6 Role

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-California) condemned Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Arizona) over the weekend following a video tweeted by Biggs regarding illegal immigration on the Yuma, Arizona, border.

“You tried to overthrow your government. What do you think they are calling you, traitor?” Swalwell wrote.

The Democratic representative was referring to Biggs’ request of Trump for a pardon which most took to mean that there is possible evidence tying him to the efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Biggs’ video was taken early Sunday morning.

“This is Yuma, Arizona, at around 4:30 in the morning today,” the caption read. “Hundreds of illegal aliens from all over the world can be seen behind me. They know they’ll be processed and released quickly under [President Joe] Biden.”
