Eric Swalwell Accuses Tucker Carlson Of Being ‘A Phony’ Who Has Put Him At Risk With ‘Dangerous Lies’

Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell accused Fox News host Tucker Carlson of instigating death threats against him, as well as being “a phony” who doesn’t believe the things he says on television.

“You know what kind of man [Tucker Carlson] is?” Swalwell began in a three-tweet thread. “After protestors vandalized his house a few years ago, I tweeted that was wrong. I took heat. Didn’t care — that was wrong. What did Tucker do? Just months later, Tucker repeatedly lied on his show that I’d be taking everyone’s guns. What do you think happened next? Death threats rolled in against me and my children. A Small business run by family members was harassed.”
