Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) reminded Republicans in Rep. Jim Jordan's (R-OH) censorship hearing that conservative members of the committee privately agreed that President Donald Trump "is a child."
Swalwell made the remarks after Jordan called on him at Wednesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing on government censorship.
"You were promised cheap eggs, and today you're getting cheap shots, and there's probably no better natural remedy for insomnia than a congressional hearing on anti-censorship," Swalwell explained. "I'll credit Chairman Jordan. He and I have had some spirited debates in this hearing room. Sometimes, they've gotten quite personal by both of us."
"And sometimes when I land a point, he gets upset, his staff gets upset, but he takes it like a man, and he'll make his point right back at me, and I take it like a man," he continued. "You know who doesn't take it like a man?"
"Donald Trump, because he's not a man. He's a child. He's a small child."

Swalwell explained that he could recognize Trump's behavior because he was the father of three toddlers.
"And yes, censorship is occurring, but it's self-censorship, and it's by you all," the Democrat explained. "Because I hear you in our private conversations when you agree that Trump is a child."
"I hear the people you tell that Trump is a child, whether it's lobbyists or reporters," he added. "But you shrink in this room, and you shrink in the chamber, and you self-censor yourselves from speaking out because you're afraid."
