Former Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy on Tuesday called out Democratic presidential candidate Eric Swalwell over his "I may be another white guy" comment and called it an example of the sad state of politics. Swalwell, a California lawmaker who launched his bid to become the president last month, has been struggling to get a footing in the crowded Democratic primary. TREY GOWDY: 'PRESIDENT ERIC SWALWELL, THAT OUGHT TO SCARE THE EVER-LIVING HELL OUT OF YOU'In an interview on Monday with Vice News, Swalwell said, “A white guy who doesn’t see other identities or understand other experiences should not be president.”“I do,” he said. This is what I know and, luckily, what most of our fellow citizens know,” he continued. If you are a good person, I want you governing me regardless of any other immutable characteristic,” he said.
