California lawmaker Eric Swalwell is co-sponsoring a bill that would ban Donald Trump and several allies of the former President from entering the United States Capitol.
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on February 17th by Rep. Nikema Williams (D-GA). The sole co-sponsor of the legislation is Swalwell (D-CA).

The resolution seeks to prohibit “President Donald Trump and certain other individuals who attempted to undermine and overturn the 2020 presidential election from entering the United States Capitol.”
It reads as if it were written by a CNN intern, and includes the requisite lie that the January 6th riot at the Capitol “claimed the lives of five law enforcement officers.”
It didn’t. No police officers died that day, nor did any die as a direct cause of the actions that took place that day. Democrats, however, want you to think they did. It’s all part of making January 6th the newest National Myth.

The bill seeks to enlist the House and Senate Sergeant at Arms and the U.S. Capitol Police in preventing Trump and his colleagues from ever setting foot in the Capitol.

Swalwell Wants to Ban Trump From the Capitol
Swalwell got his little insurrection underoos in a bunch when the media focused on him instead of Williams when reporting on the new bill.
“How far will Fox go to attack me? This isn’t even my bill — it’s a brilliant bill written by @RepNikema,” he tweeted.
Of course, reality suggests Swalwell is thrilled by the coverage, having been a perpetual media whore the last several weeks, crying to anybody who will listen about being kicked off the House Intelligence Committee and airing alleged death threats on his voicemail.
Don’t let him kid you – he loves the attention.

Plus, Williams doesn’t quite draw the interest that a Russia collusion conspiracy theorist who sleeps with Chinese spies would get.
Despite lamenting the coverage, Swalwell eagerly voiced his support for the bill which would ban Trump, former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, and former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, among others, from the Capitol.
“Of course I support (the bill)!” he declared. “And by the way, when the village nearly burns down, we don’t invite the arsonist back to visit. Duh.”
The village didn’t burn down, drama queen. Democracy was never in peril. AOC wasn’t nearly murdered.
How far will Fox go to attack me? This isn’t even my bill — it’s a brilliant bill written by @RepNikema. Which, of course I support! And by the way, when the village nearly burns down, we don’t invite the arsonist back to visit. Duh. https://t.co/4aEKW3ebYF

Democrats Wanted to Ban Trump From Being Buried in Arlington National Cemetery
The legislative attempt to ban former President Trump from entering the Capitol is the latest in a long line of time and taxpayer money-wasting efforts by Democrats to ban him from things because their feelings were hurt by the big bad orange man.

In July of 2021, Representative Brendan Boyle (D-PA) introduced a bill that would only allow sitting House members to serve as Speaker after Trump said the post would be “interesting.”
Democratic Rep. Brendan Boyle has introduced a bill to block non-House members from becoming speaker of the House in response to speculation that Trump may launch a bid for the speaker’s gavel if Republicans win the chamber in 2022.https://t.co/WfucTUOh8I

Democrats that same year introduced a bill that would ban the former President from being buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

This past December, Representative David Cicilline (D-RI), backed by 40 other House Democrats, introduced legislation citing a Civil War-era provision in the 14th Amendment to bar Trump from ever holding public office.
The man has and continues to live rent-free in the vapid minds of Democrat lawmakers.
Oddly enough, the latest bill does not seek to bar any Democrats who attempted to overturn or denied election results in 2000, 2004, and 2016.

this guy has less brains than a piece of driftwood
Does this smell of a bill of attainder to anyone else?
The Democrat Party becomes more like the Communist Party each day. Political opponents, including even a former president, is now an enemy of the people. How long before the Hammer and Sickle are the symbol of the Democrats instead of the donkey?
The A(r)ss is more literally correct – and fitting.
IMHO, Swalwell loves the/any attention. Duh.
The whole of America should remember that on that day – January 6th – Only ONE person was FOULY MURDERED – and by a CAPITOL POLICE LIEUTENANT – and that person was an UNARMED VETERAN, A LAWFUL PEACEFUL PROTESTER – SHE WAS ASHLI BABBITT !!!
JUSTICE FOR ASHLI BABBITT – bring the PERP to COURT and TRY HIM FOR MURDER – PELOSI COVER-UP!
reading all these replies, I wonder if this is a convention of Communists. Non of these people sound like red blooded Americans.
Just something that democrats are desperate to hang on their STOLEN POWER!
Swalwell=Wuss
What he wants and what he gets is two different things.
Swellwall is a bigger liar than Santos. get rid of Swellwall.
I dont believe they can ban a president/ former or current from being buried at Arlington cemetery. And i beleive Democrats are afraid of a Republican majority of the house and senate because of the ludicrous bills being passed.the open boarder allows terrorists into the country/ fact not fiction. The Biden coverup of the hunter laptop fact/ not fiction. The ending of fossil fuels is ludicrous idea fact /not fiction. The price of food because of the closing of food processing plants fact/not fiction. The democratic idea of cutting social security benefits Medicare fact/ not fiction.
Once again, these people have no regard or respect for the United States Constitution. Congress cannot arbitrarily change the Constitution as the dimocrats seem to believe.
No Bills of Attainder. Not that either of them know what a Bill of Attainder is.
ALL DemocRATS should be barred from entering Arlington National Cemetery-Dead OR Alive!!!!!
