Swalwell Tells Noem: ‘I Have a Bulls*** Detector’ in Heated Exchange 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but it took Rep. 👤Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) only four to try to shut down Homeland Security Secretary of 👤Kristi Noem during a heated debate over a photo of 👤Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported by the Trump.

The two squabbled during a Homeland Security budget hearing in Washington, D.C., Wednesday over a photo of Abrego Garcia’s hand. The two debated whether his hand had MS-13 tattoos, per Fox News.

At one point, Salwell declared, “I have a bulls*** detector,” when Noem wanted to explain Abrego Garcia’s deportation was the result of an investigation, not the photo.

“I want you to have credibility and I want you to be taken seriously. Is this doctored or is it not?” Swalwell asked. Swalwell was referring a photo President 👤Donald Trump posted on social media. Swalwell suggested the letters “M,” “S” and the numbers “1” and “3” above the tattoos were added to the photo.

“Madam Secretary, I have a 7-year-old, a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old,” Swalwell said. “I have a bulls*** detector. I’m just asking you, is this doctored or not?”
