Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) on Monday announced his intention for running for president on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert."
Not everyone was excited about the what they saw. In fact, Swalwell has made a name for himself as anti-gunner and, like practically every other 2020 Democrat, plans to run on the gun control issue.
While he wants to be known as a strong supporter of "gun safety," his claim to fame is wanting to nuke gun owners.

The California Democrat will announce his candidacy on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Monday night.
The show tweeted out a video clip of Swalwell making the announcement after speaking on what he considers to be some of the problems in the current administration.
“I see a country in quicksand, unable to solve problems and threats from abroad, unable to make life better for people here at home,” Swalwell told Colbert.
“I’m ready to solve these problems. I’m running for president of the United States.” Swalwell added. “Boy, did it feel good to say that.”
