Rep. Eric Swalwell has put it out there he wants to run for president.
(He’s also put it out there he wants to nuke gun owners, but that’s neither here nor there.)
Aaanyway, he decided to “own” Conservatives by using a Ronald Reagan quote against us.
Which one?
“Mr. Gorbachev, put up a wall.” Said no President.

That one.
He got NUKED. (As he SHOULD. This is ridic.)
Unless you are completely uneducated, you know that the Berlin wall was built to keep the victims of #socialism *in*. https://t.co/eIuGHqDm9P

You’re not bright enough to understand the wall you’re talking about was erected to keep people IN. Read a book.

An early contender for Most Insipid Tweet of the Year. @aoc, you’re on the clock.

LOL!
Anyway. The brainiac has doubled down:
My favorite part of the conservative outrage responses to this tweet is the “but the Berlin Wall was to keep people in” argument. Missing ENTIRELY that a wall is a wall no matter what side of it you are on. It’s medieval. It’s a symbol of “us and not us.” And that is not U.S.

…wut?
“Walls are medieval.”
Alright, my dude. I suppose it’s time for us to knock your house down, then. Too many walls in it.
PS we weren’t “outraged.” We were laughing at you. VERY different.
My favorite part of career politician deflection and obfuscation is saying a dumb thing publicly, then calling everyone else “dumb” or “outraged” for merely pointing it out. https://t.co/gRBJICpG7O

A great way to hide your inability to contend with an argument is to laugh it off as “missing the point.” What a low IQ statement. https://t.co/XIf17QreqQ

Aaaaand he’s still at it.
No, I understand the “argument” — respectfully, I don’t agree with it. I think @BillKristol made a similar point last week. Whether it’s to keep someone in or out, it’s a wall. That’s the opposite symbol of the lady with the torch in New York Harbor.

Yeah. We mocked Kristol for it too, moron.
