WWW.FOXNEWS.COMEric Swalwell rejects Michelle Obama's 'when they go low, we go high' message, vows to 'bury' RepublicansRep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., dismissed former First Lady Michelle Obamas famous "when they go low, we go high" mantra on Saturday, instead threatening to "bury" Republicans "below the Capitol" during a redistricting fight.On "CNN Newsroom," host Omar Jimenez brought up Obama's old mantra after asking the congressman whether there were concerns that "fighting fire with fire" in redrawing congressional maps could backfire on the Democratic Party."No, when they go low, were going to bury them below the Capitol," Swalwell said. "Thats what were going to do, because this is about protecting democracy. And right now, as you see, D.C. has been militarized, and we were weak as Democrats."NYT COLUMNIST CLAIMS TRUMP AND ABBOTTS TEXAS REDISTRICTING PLANS ARE 'MUSTARD GAS ON OUR DEMOCRACY'Swalwell called recent efforts by Texas Republicans to redraw the states congressional districts a "grab for power" by President Donald Trump to make sure Democrats lose in the upcoming midterm elections. He argued that fighting fire with fire was the only way "to protect the most vulnerable" and defend democracy."We have paid the price for our weakness in the past, and we cant be so weak next time we have power," Swalwell said. "Gavin Newsom is making Donald Trump react to him with the lawsuits with this new map to match whats happening in Texas. And the way I see it is, either were on our heels, and the most vulnerable are on their heels reacting to Donald Trump, or hes on his heels reacting to us."RESISTANCE DEMOCRATS EMBRACE COMBATIVE, PROFANITY-LACED 'DARK WOKE' REBRAND TO COMBAT TRUMPNewsom has proposed a controversial initiative that would allow for mid-decade redistricting, aiming to eliminate five Republican-held seats in response to GOP-led map changes in Texas. However, such changes are currently prohibited by the California state constitution, which mandates nonpartisan redistricting through an independent commission. Newsom and California Democrats are pushing for a special election later this year to obtain voter approval to bypass the constitution.Swalwell didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPSwalwell is the latest in a long line of Democrats who have appeared to abandon the "when they go low, we go high" mantra in favor of harsher and sometimes violent rhetoric. Michelle Obama also amended the phrase in a 2020 DNC speech."Lets be clear: going high does not mean putting on a smile and saying nice things when confronted by viciousness and cruelty," Obama said in 2020. "Going high means taking the harder path. It means scraping and clawing our way to that mountain top. Going high means standing fierce against hatred while remembering that we are one nation under God, and if we want to survive, weve got to find a way to live together and work together across our differences."0 Comments 0 Shares 29 Views 0 Reviews

Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., accused major universities such as Columbia and Brown of "selling their souls" to the Trump administration after agreeing to multimillion-dollar settlements.Several universities had federal research grants cut or frozen either for failing to address antisemitism or for promoting so-called "woke" policies, according to the administration.

"We will never ever sell our soul to Donald Trump. Harvard, I pray you are listening. How could you? Of all institutions, on tens of billions of dollars, whats the point of your damn endowment if you cannot stand on principle?"While speaking in San Francisco earlier this month, Newsom made a similar declaration, insisting that UCLA would not pay a settlement under his watch."Were not Brown, were not Columbia, and Im not going to be governor if we act like that," Newsom said. "Period. Full stop, I will fight like hell to make sure that doesnt happen."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREThe Trump administration is seeking a $1 billion settlement from UCLA, along with the creation of a $172 million claims fund for alleged Title VII violations under the Civil Rights Act.UCLA has already paid $6 million to settle a lawsuit brought by Jewish students and faculty members over the school's handling of anti-Israel protests, including its failure to stop protesters from setting up what Jewish students and faculty described as a "Jew Exclusion Zone" on campus.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP0 Comments 0 Shares 25 Views 0 Reviews
