Democrats introduce resolution to ban Trump from US Capitol By Anthony Gonzalez
House Democrats introduced a resolution that would bar former President Donald Trump — along with Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, Peter Navarro, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, Kenneth Cheseboro, Rudy Giuliani, and other figures — from entering the U.S. Capitol.
Reps. Nikema Williams (D-Ga.) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) introduced the resolution in the House Committee on House Administration.
The resolution stated: “The Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives, the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate, and the United States Capitol Police shall take such actions as may be necessary to prohibit President Donald John Trump from entering the United States Capitol at any time after the expiration of his term as President.”
In response, Trump, who is running for president again, called Swalwell an “idiot” and noted Swalwell’s relationship with a Chinese spy.
“Little respected Representative Eric Swalwell was just kicked off the Intelligence Committee for reasons of ‘Integrity and lack of Intelligence’ and, for having the poor judgment of dating and falling desperately in love with a Chinese Spy, Fang Fang, whose honey net has gotten massive amounts of information for her beloved China,” Trump said of Swalwell in a statement.
“This idiot is now calling (for publicity purposes only!) for some Great American Patriots, including me, to be banned from the Capitol,” he added.
Swalwell’s office fired back at Trump, saying, “When the village nearly burns down, we don’t invite the arsonist back to visit.”
For the bill to pass, it must be agreed to in the House and the Senate.
