‘This Isn’t the First Time She is Sided With Traitors,’ Swalwell Remarked of Greene’s Leak Comment

Swalwell on Greene Over Leak Remark

Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who defended Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira, who was detained on Thursday for allegedly leaking Pentagon documents, was criticized by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) for her remarks.

The biggest traitor America has ever seen is siding with McCarthy’s top lieutenant, Swalwell claimed in a tweet on Thursday. I apologize, Marge, but being white, a man and a Christian does not give you the right to desert your nation and endanger the lives of millions of people.

It wouldn’t be the first time, either, that she had sided with traitors. In response to Greene’s own comments on Teixeira’s arrest, Swalwell made his own statements. Jake Teixeira is antiwar, white, male, and Christian.

As a result, Greene declared him to be hostile to the Biden administration in a tweet. Ask yourself: Who is my true foe? A junior national guardsman? Or the government that is waging war in Ukraine, a non-NATO country, against a nuclear-armed Russia without the ability to use force?
