Boebert responded the only 'straight line that needs to be drawn' is from 'Swalwell to Fang Fang'

California Democrat Eric Swalwell appeared to compare his Republican colleague Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado to the suspect in Monday's mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois that left six people dead and dozens wounded.

Swalwell posted the tweet on Tuesday appearing to compare the Highland Park, Illinois, shooter who killed six people and injured more than 30 at a Fourth of July parade to Boebert.

"Let’s start drawing straight lines," Swalwell wrote on his congressional Twitter account, posting a picture of Boebert holding an AR-15 rifle juxtaposed to a picture of the suspect, Robert Crimo III.

Swalwell’s tweet could also suggest that the alleged shooter drew inspiration from Boebert. The post came a day after the massacre.

Boebert told Fox News Digital she gets "that Eric Swalwell isn't a fan of our Constitutional rights and is desperate to distract from his repeated political failures, but the only straight line that needs to be drawn is from Eric Swalwell to Fang Fang to the Chinese Communist Party."

"I will make sure that line gets drawn when we take back the House," Boebert continued. "Law-abiding gun owners won't be smeared and disarmed every time a California failed presidential candidate rolls out of bed with a Chinese spy and tries to blame us for the conduct of others."
