Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) tried to pick a fight with a black Republican politician about racism but ended up humiliating himself.
Swalwell, a failed Democratic presidential candidate, took to social media to complain about the bombshell leak from the Supreme Court that effectively signals the end of Roe v. Wade.
However, he tried to tack on some ridiculous claims about race to boost his argument.
Thankfully, Wesley Hunt, an African American GOP nominee for Congress, shut down the hysterical California congressman.
Democrats have been claiming that ending Roe will lead to laws against interracial marriages because it is the same legal argument.
Yet Justice Alito specifically said it would not lead to other cases being overturned and the argument ignores the fact that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is in an interracial marriage.
“The Republicans won’t stop with banning abortion,” Swalwell said.
“They want to ban interracial marriage.
“Do you want to save that?
“Well, then you should probably vote.”
Enter Hunt, who quickly shot down Swalwell, saying: “Hi Eric, my name is Wesley Hunt, I’m a Republican nominee in a Congressional District that is 70% white.
“I’m black, I’m in an interracial marriage, and my wife and I have two biracial daughters.
“Republicans are celebrating diversity while white liberals like yourself race-bait.”
Eric said:
“Hey Wesley, your problem isn’t with me.
“It’s with @SenatorBraun who said states should be able to ban interracial marriages like yours.
“He’s a senator in YOUR party.
“Looks like you’re just another Republican who is in denial of what your colleagues say.
“Party over country, right?”
Hey Wesley, your problem isn’t with me. It’s with @SenatorBraun who said states should be able to ban interracial marriages like yours. He’s a senator in YOUR party.

“Eric, here we go again,” Hunt fired back.
“My problem is with you.
“You’ve never been black a day in your life, and yet the white ‘intellectual’ Democrat from California is lecturing me on racism.
“And for the record, don’t lecture me on country over party either, I served in combat, did you?”
Of course he didn’t.
