In what is one of the more bizarre political stories of 2021, U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville), a candidate for Alabama’s U.S. Senate up in 2022, is the legal target of his colleague U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who claims in a lawsuit that Brooks was responsible for the January 6 incident on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
The event has been deemed an insurrection by Democrats and their allies in the media, and some, including Swalwell, blame Brooks because of a speech he gave on the National Mall in the lead-up to the incident.
During his Thursday broadcast, Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson weighed in on Swalwell’s legal efforts, which have hit a snag because the federal judge assigned the case will not allow U.S. Marshals to deliver the lawsuit “due to separation of powers concerns.”
The California Democrat has been unable to serve Brooks with the lawsuit, claiming an inability to find Brooks and revealed he had hired a private investigator to track him down. However, Carlson offered a suggestion to Swalwell.
“It’s easy to forget, but when Eric Swalwell is not having sex with Chinese spies, and contrary to popular opinion, there are moments when he is not doing that, or coming in last place in presidential primaries, Eric Swalwell is still a sitting member of Congress from California,” Carlson explained. “Amazing. He also sees himself as a hero who is going to bring justice for the January 6 insurrection. He has got a plan for that. He is investigating his own colleagues. We learned yesterday that Eric Swalwell has hired private investigators to find Congressman Mo Brooks of Alabama.”
“Swalwell claims Brooks is avoiding a lawsuit he claims to hold Brooks accountable for the insurrection,” he continued. “But there’s an easier way — Swalwell can just call his old girlfriend, Fang Fang. She’s good at finding people in power. Hey, Eric Swalwell — call Fang Fang, the Chinese spy you had sex with. She’ll get it done.”
