Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) fired back at Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) after he appeared to compare her to the suspect in a mass shooting in Illinois.
On Tuesday, Swalwell posted a tweet showing a photo of Boebert holding a gun next to a photo of the suspected gunman, Robert Crimo III.
“Let’s start drawing straight lines,” Swalwell wrote.
Crimo allegedly killed six people and wounded dozens more during the Highland Park, Illinois, July Fourth parade.
During an interview with Fox News, Boebert told the outlet she understands “that Eric Swalwell isn’t a fan of our Constitutional rights and is desperate to distract from his repeated political failures, but the only straight line that needs to be drawn is from Eric Swalwell to Fang Fang to the Chinese Communist Party.”
She continued, “I will make sure that line gets drawn when we take back the House.”
Boebert explained law-abiding gun owners “won’t be smeared and disarmed every time a California failed presidential candidate rolls out of bed with a Chinese spy and tries to blame us for the conduct of others.”
