Insufferable Swalwell Manages to Prove What Failures Dems Are With Lame Response to 'Elon Email'

We've seen Democrats freaking out over the Trump team cleaning up waste, fraud, and abuse and holding the federal bureaucracy accountable for what they are doing.

They couldn't even deal with a simple email that Elon Musk announced and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent out to federal employees, asking them for a five-bullet point list of what they did last week.
Warning: Implied profanity, courtesy of the Democrats of course.
They're behaving like tantrum-throwing children. Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) threw a fit and called Musk a "d**k." Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) encouraged federal employees to "massive civil disobedience," urging them to respond with "GFY" letters. That's incredibly bad advice that is guaranteed to get them into problems, but Casten doesn't seem to actually care about the employees or what might happen if they act in such an insubordinate way.

But apparently, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) wanted to put in his own entry for "stupidest Democratic response." He posted what he claimed was his response to the email from the OPM.

Dear DOGE,
Here's what I did last week for my country.
1) Fought Fascism
2) Fought Fascism
3) Fought Fascism
4) Fought Fascism
5) Fought Fascism
GFY,
Eric Swalwell
This is what a Democrat thinks about holding federal employees accountable. They don't want it to happen because they want it to continue to be chaos. He "fought fascism" by trying to obstruct the actions of the duly elected president, acting on behalf of the people. Some "fighting of fascism."
He isn't even a part of the executive branch, he's an elected representative. He doesn't seem to understand how the government works. He didn't even understand the letter wasn't from DOGE. But what his response does show is that he did nothing all week but posture and whine. He should be providing such a list to the American people who he's supposed to represent. But if Democrats had to do that, they'd really be in trouble because this is the kind of list we'd get and proof they hadn't done anything.
If employees responded like that, they should be fired, because not only aren't they doing their jobs, but they're signaling they're acting against the administration.

Plus, expecting federal employees to perform their jobs is not fascism. That should be obvious. But apparently it isn't to Swalwell. At this point, they're just flailing around and attacking -- and looking ridiculous in the process.
You’re not a federal employee. You are an elected representative and it’s disturbing that you’re spending your time playing make believe. https://t.co/o0Yf0eanvX
