But NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch had a swift and blistering response, quoting from Val Kilmer\u2019s immortal performance as Doc Holliday in the film \u201cTombstone\u201d and firing back, \u201cI\u2019m your huckleberry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell was responding to Loesch pointing out that Swalwell had \u201cdodged legitimate questions about his gun confiscation-and-jail policy for quite some time.\u201d Prior to that salvo, she had stated, \u201cYou said you would jail law-abiding gun owners if they didn\u2019t turn in their lawfully owned firearms. How do you plan to confiscate guns?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ericswalwell\/status\/1119200871118667776\">responded<\/a>, \u201cMs. Loesch \u2014 I see you\u2019ve spent another day blowing up my Twitter. Thank you for following! But here\u2019s the deal, you\u2019re an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NRA\">@nra<\/a> mouthpiece. I don\u2019t aim down, so I don\u2019t debate mouthpieces. But send me your president, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OliverLNorth\">@OliverLNorth<\/a>. I\u2019ll debate him anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Loesch launched the torpedo: \u201cI\u2019m your Huckleberry. Unless you\u2019re afraid to lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell, apparently afraid to take on Loesch, sidestepped, \u201cHere\u2019s a prediction: the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NRA\">@nra<\/a> is afraid to have its president debate me. They talk so tough on Twitter, but when challenged to a debate to defend their advocacy for unrestricted weaponry it\u2019s just crickets from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OliverLNorth\">@OliverLNorth<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NoFear?src=hash\">#NoFear<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As far as others\u2019 bravery, Swalwell\u2019s got quite a nasty side; after Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) revealed during the hearings for Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh that she had received serious threats, Swalwell tweeted, \u201cBoo hoo hoo. You\u2019re a senator who police will protect. A sexual assault victim can\u2019t sleep in her home tonight because of threats. Where are you sleeping? She\u2019s on her own while you and your @SenateGOP colleagues try to rush her through a hearing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
