Eric Swalwell Delivers Epic Roast Of Gaetz For Having Accused Murderer Lead Pledge Of Allegiance [VIDEO]

“Mr. Gaetz wanted to offer an amendment to say the Pledge of Allegiance. That’s great. Every single person on our side supported that. Now, I don’t think he really genuinely cares about saying the Pledge of Allegiance, but he wanted to do it again to own the libs and to see if we would vote against it. We didn’t. But who did he bring in here to say the Pledge of Allegiance? Who did he parade in here? Someone he met at a gun club.

“Mr. Cicilline, you had the crazy idea that maybe we should vet the people who come in here, make sure they’re not insurrectionists. Mr. McClintock – I am not kidding you – Mr. McClintock said, ‘Well, it’s not like we’re gonna invite somebody who committed murder.’ No, he literally said that. ‘It’s not like we’re going to invite somebody who committed murder.’

“Who did Mr. Gaetz bring? He brought Corey Beekman. Corey Beekman – in 2019 – was in a standoff with the Michigan police. After, he was arrested and charged with murder, assault with intent to commit murder, and two counts of felony firearm possession. The family of the victims said Mr. Gaetz doing that, it was like getting a dagger stuck in our heart again.

“That’s why there’s a trust deficit here. You pull off a public stunt to try and own the libs, and what you did was you brought in the guy who allegedly shot two people and killed one of them.

“That’s where the trust deficit is. So you can play your games, conduct your stunts. We’re here to get shit done.” – Rep. Eric Swalwell, roasting Matt Gaetz for having an accused murderer lead the pledge.

Gaetz has apologized to the murdered man’s family.
