Swalwell, Democrats fear Republican will shoot up Congress: 'We could have a workplace violent event'

Democrats like Eric Swalwell expressed concern that Republican colleagues will shoot up Congress if they have an opportunity now that metal detectors are gone.

The magnetometers were installed after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, which continues to have reverberations on its two-year anniversary. Divisions in Congress are more stark than ever with Democrats openly expressing fears that they will be killed by their colleagues that they've deemed far-right conspiracy theorists.

Left-wing site Raw Story spoke with Swalwell and other Democrats about their concerns of being victims of violence. Swalwell said it was a "recipe for disaster" and Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., said it's a "frightening group of people over there." The Congressman added that he no longer counts on a lack of "crazy" things after the chaos two years ago.
