The former Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden in 2011 criticized Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., for a Saturday tweet that expressed support for immigrant families separated at the border.
Swalwell tweeted Saturday, “To Immigrant families: We see you, we are here for you and we will not stop fighting for you. Families belong together. Period.” Former SEAL Robert J. O’Neill responded by correcting Swalwell, “You spelled ‘Homeless Veterans’ wrong.”

O’Neill has been outspoken on veteran-related issues, and has been critical of Democrats seeming unwillingness to improve the notoriously malfunctioning Department of Veteran Affairs. He specifically criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., for her comment defending the VA, in which she said, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
O’Neill tweeted in response to her comment, “Ever take your kid to work, let ‘em color and tell ‘em they’re helping? New York did.”
