An Enraged Eric Swalwell Crushes House Republicans For Whining About Baby Formula While They Enable
School Shooters
After House Republicans had the nerve to tweet about baby formula, Rep. Eric Swalwell lit into them for getting kids killed by doing nothing about guns.

Swalwell tweeted:


Rep. Swalwell is a parent of young children, and one can feel the rage and disgust coming from his tweet.

The next time that a Republican claims to care about the lives of children, they should be reminded loudly that they care so little about the lives of children who are sent to school each day only to be murdered that they have done nothing about gun violence.

Republicans can’t claim to care about babies while they enable the slaughter of babies in our schools. The children killed at Sandy Hook were babies. The kids killed at Uvalde were babies.


Children are more than an election-year talking point. They are the most vulnerable members of society who need to be collectively cared for.

Republicans don’t care about children, but as Rep. Swalwell pointed out, if they did, they wouldn’t allow them to be slaughtered by the gun lobby.

Until the media shows the American people what these weapons of war, used in Uvalde and elsewhere do to a 6 or 7 or 10 yr old child, nothing will change. The moment they do, millions will march on the GOP and demand change.

The formula problem is a failure of the free market. Minimum competition, lack of redundancy, lack of investment, lack of QC, etc.

They should not be allowed to get away with blaming Biden for that.

That specifically prohibits the USA from buying baby formula from Canada.

The evil keeps on coming.

you voted against 28 million to the FDA to deal with the shortage. you blocked every gun control law leading to dead children.
Fuck you and your bullshit outrage. I wish all of you the same grief being felt in Uvalde. Maybe if it was your kids dying you'll do something

Do they think President Biden is running a side hustle of manufacturing baby formula? This failure - being fixed by the big, bad gummint - is totally the fault of the free market and its mania for bigger and better. One plant goes down because it might be poisoning its customers, and the whole supply side collapses because the manufacturing capacity is concentrated in a minimum number of facilities all working at full tilt. Why did this become our situation? Because the industry wants it that way: Maximum profits all the time. And who aids and abets this greedy obsession? Republicans.

Of the unborn………??????? Well, All those unborn are being sentenced to death because of their GQP, greed to poison the very damn crib the babies will be born into. They don’t give a fuck about their own damn unborn grand and great grand kids. Poison their air food and water and leave a planet aflame with guns to mow em all down. Selfish greedy lying clumps of oozing pustule secretions. Shut the fuck up, ALL GQP. And pity your own unborn family.
