What if Rep. Eric Swalwell was actually the least crazy candidate in the California gubernatorial election? There was the Chinese espionage and the alleged rapes. But here’s the race now.
A SurveyUSA poll released Tuesday, April 14, shows Democratic candidate Tom Steyer leading with 21% of likely voters and Republican candidate Steve Hilton three percentage points behind at 18%,
This poll predates Swalwell officially leaving the race, so there’s still more Dem voters to divide up.
Steyer, a billionaire with the charm of an even more confused Bloomberg, keeps running for things without any apparent basis, but he decided that he can win in California by going as far left as possible.
It might work for him at that.
His current bold proposal is for a civil war.
It’s not enough for Democrats to simply engage in rhetoric, and “stand” against ICE or Trump. California must build a system that fights fire with fire. To stop this authoritarian takeover, we must counter ICE head-on, and go after both their agents on the streets and their leadership within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). How do we do this? The same way we took on the mob. Put ICE agents and their leadership in jail for their crimes, because that’s how you take on a violent extremist group and win
Second, I will give the state Attorney General the authority to hold ICE’s leadership accountable for violence. My plan will pursue supervisory liability. This body of law empowers the California justice system to criminally prosecute and imprison not just the ICE agents who are committing these crimes, but the leadership directing them to do so.
Open borders Democrats keep toeing closer to the edge of a civil war. A gubernatorial candidate declaring that he’s going to arrest federal law enforcement personnel and leadership is one approach.
The next phase of the plan can call for shelling federal buildings.
It worked great in the South. It’ll work out well for Southern California.
For all the big talk though, the FBI regularly keeps raiding and arresting chunks of California’s political elite, including Newsom’s former chief-of-staff. If there were more competent U.S. Attorneys in the state, the whole operation could be treated like a mafia and broken up.
States can’t prosecute federal law enforcement for doing its job. The feds can absolutely prosecute corruption.
