Apologies to Jasmine Crockett, AOC and the squad, and Hank Johnson, but I honestly think Eric Swalwell is the dumbest person in Congress.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
[Warning: Language]
Charlamagne Tha God: Did the Chinese spy scandal hurt your credibility? Or are the Republicans just weaponizing a nothingburger, so to speak.
Swalwell: You know, the fact that the FBI and the House Ethics Committee said it was b***s***, like, I would hope that would be enough ... My wife tells me all the time, the second they're not going after you, you're not effective. And so I wear it as a badge of honor that these guys would wanna lie about me all the time. Because I think it means that I'm landing punches politically on them that sting.
Wait, you think you're an effective politician? Okay, that's the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day.
Effective at clearing out a room after ordering Mexican, maybe.
Notice what he never does here. He never denies that he dated a Chinese spy. And we know he at least hung out with a certain Chinese spy, Fang Fang, a lot.
The House Ethics Committee concluded their investigation but they never publicly cleared Swalwell. They just stopped investigating because of dead ends.
But I guess for Swalwell that means he can claim "total exoneration"?
Swalwell: Republicans look at me like 'that's a straight, white, Christian male. Son of a cop. Like, everyone else like him looks like me, so when he comes at me it's more betrayal.' I've heard that from them on their side. That's why they take it so personally.
Yeah, I'm sure a lot of Republicans in Congress are going up to Swalwell and telling him he's a traitor because of his identity.
You know who will penalize him, however, for claiming he's a straight, white, Christian male?
