California Democrat Eric Swalwell appeared to compare his Colorado Republican colleague Rep. Lauren Boebert to the mass shooter who killed six people a day after the massacre.
Swalwell’s tweet could also suggest that the alleged shooter drew inspiration from Boebert. The post came a day after the massacre.
Rep. Lauren Boebert pushed back against Rep. Eric Swalwell's tweet comparing her to the suspect in Monday's mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, saying law-abiding gun owners like her "won't be smeared." The Illinois mayor said she is waiting Tuesday for prosecutors to file charges against the 22-year-old accused of killing at least six and wounding more than 30 in Monday’s attack.
The mayor added that she was Crimo’s Cub Scout leader as a child, describing him as"just a little boy.""It’s one of those things where you step back, and you say ‘What happened?'" Rotering said."How did somebody become this angry, this hateful to then take it out on innocent people?"
