Eric Swalwell’s presidential campaign video receives thousands of downvotes on YouTube

The video on YouTube received more than 3,200 dislikes and more than 950 comments as of Tuesday afternoon of people criticizing Swalwell over his controversial tweet from November in which he mentioned a "short war" and government nukes while discussing gun rights.

“So basically Rep. Swalwell wants a war. Because that’s what you would get. You’re outta your f---ing mind if you think I’ll give up my rights and give the gov all the power,” the social media user tweeted.

Swalwell replied: “And it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them. But they’re legit. I’m sure if we talked we could find common ground to protect our families and communities.”
