SWALWELL THAT ENDS WELL - Good Riddance to ‘Another White Guy’
Daily Beast ^ | 7/10/19 | Matt Lewis

**SNIP**

In a desperate attempt to rationalize why, in a diverse field, Democrats should nominate him, Swalwell seemed to pander by promising to pick a female running mate--and to apologize for his own immutable characteristics, tweeting that: “I may be ‘another white guy,’ but I know where there are gaps in my knowledge or my experience and I know when to pass the mic.”

As many others noted, if Swalwell really wanted to pass the mic, he should have stayed out and cleared a path for a woman of color to win the Democratic nomination instead of trying — however unsuccessfully, to get ahead of them.

Speaking of which, Swalwell said when he entered this race that he would give up his House seat, before backtracking. If he does try to hold on to it, he’ll need to either push out or defeat 31-year-old city councilor Aisha Wahab, the first Afghan-American elected to office in the country and who announced her plan for Congress back when “another white guy” said he was leaving his seat.

I don’t know anything about his projected opponent, but I do know that Swalwell is a certified Idiot.

Aisha Wahab would likely be a more authentic voice than Swalwell for that liberal district.

“another white guy”

It's not fly to be a white guy? It's ironic most of the soldiers who were killed and maimed in these sh*tholes like Afghanistan,Iraq,Somalia etc where white men so these a-holes can immigrate to our country and spit on it.

Definitionally, keeping whites around among other races in whatever organization would constitute true diversity, not that Democrats could ever grasp that.

Idiot is not the word I would put after “certified” for a ‘man’ that ‘joked’ about nuking owners of semi-auto weapons that did not want to hand them over the all loving government...

Because, you know when I try to make light of something and put some humor out there to further a painful conversation, “jokes” about politically motivated mass murder is the first arrow in that humor quiver I reach for...

The word you are looking for is not “idiot”. The word is “PSYCHOTIC”.
