Ilhan Omar, Eric Swalwell join Daily Beast in spreading 'disinformation'

Like the ACLU famously did in its legal defense of neo-Nazis who wanted to march in a Jewish-majority Chicago suburb 40 years ago, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Wednesday in a hearing defended the First Amendment right of a man to invoke a Nazi salute to express his view that school board members were acting like fascists.

In fact, in the Senate oversight hearing, Attorney General Merrick Garland agreed with Cruz that the man's action was constitutionally protected.

Nevertheless, the Daily Beast was among many left-wing outlets that framed the exchange as "Ted Cruz Defends Parents Doing Nazi Salutes at School Board Meetings."

Democratic Reps. Eric Swalwell of California and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota joined in the smear.

Omar wrote above a link to a clip of the exchange in the Senate hearing posted by Aaron Rupar, who authors a Substack newsletter: "Ted Cruz just casually defending Nazis in a congressional hearing"

Swalwell said, "Just Ted Cruz defending Nazis."

Cruz replied to Swalwell, referencing the California lawmaker's relationship with a suspected Chinese spy known as Fang Fang.
