we have to play offense and we've tried to play this cute game where we say, well hunter biden has problems, but his dad does not. well, let me tell you this. the fish rots from the head down and the republicans have not been able to prove a single thing about all the conduct that they're alleging around hunter biden's, so we shouldn't be conceding that any of that they're alleging with russians, with burisma, et is true and now we're finding out that it's been all made up and the republicans are relying on it. so i would say we have to first show that it's all false debunk it, and then make it clear that the republicans have never accepted joe biden is president. they lead edit and ran and supported and rooted on insurrectionists. and this is just a continuation of that. so we have to again stay on offense play on their side of the field. and when we do that, we expose what they're really out to do, which is to completely delegitimized a lawfully elected president who won frankly, in a blowout election in 2020 all right congressman eric swalwell. thank you very much for your time this even
