Eric Swalwell tries to weaponize Twitter against political opponent

California Congressman Eric Swalwell attempted to weaponize Twitter against former Georgia Rep. Doug Collins over the weekend, suggesting that Twitter should remove Collins’ “blue check” Twitter verification.

At issue for Swalwell, who was found to have had an affair with Chinese spy Fang Fang who was posing as an intern in his office, was Collins’ tweet that Russia had perhaps not sanctioned Swalwell sooner due to their unwillingness to offend China. The implication was that Swalwell was a Chinese asset.

Swalwell, who was proud of being sanctioned by Russia, didn’t like Collins’ suggestion, and suggested that Twitter remove the verification from Collins’ name, seeing as he is no longer representing Georgia in Congress.
