Eric Swalwell accused Fox New host Tucker Carlson of instigating death threats against him, as well as being "a phony" who doesn’t believe the things he says on television.

"You know what kind of man [BRRRT!] [Tucker Carlson] is?" Swalwell began in a three-tweet thread. "After protestors vandalized his house a few years ago, I tweeted that was wrong. I took heat. Didn’t care — that was wrong. What did Tucker do? Just months later, Tucker [TOOT!] repeatedly lied on his show that I’d be taking everyone’s guns.[BRAAP!] What do you think happened next? Death threats rolled in against me and my children. A Small business run by family members was harassed."

"Did Tucker care? [PFFFT!] No," Swalwell continued. "He lies and spreads disinformation for the worst reason: [RRRUUUMMMBLE!] it sells. Any one who has met and talked to Tucker knows he doesn’t believe the bullsh** he’s peddling. I’ve talked [WHEEET! ("'scuse me!") ] to him before shows. He laughs at his own act. He’s a phony. I’m sorry he feels his family is threatened. But, when I spoke up to protect his family, he went on air to cash in on dangerous lies about me."
