Does Rep. Eric Swalwell live with his wife and kids in a posh spread near the Capitol they bought for $1.2 million in 2020?
Or does the wannabe gov reside in one rented room in Livermore, Calif. — not far from swanky hotels he frequents — in the district he represents?
With fraud a hot issue in California, Swalwell’s approach seems to fit right in. . . .
The residency dust-up is yet another potentially disqualifying episode for Swalwell.
Prior examples include the rep’s liaison with Chinese spy Fang Fang; his shilling for Dem tale tales about Trump-Russia collusion; his vow to prosecute and harass ICE agents; and his flatulence on live TV.
And then there’s the hypocrisy.
In 2012, Swalwell defeated a 20-term(!) Democratic incumbent to win his current House seat in a campaign centered in part on (wait for it) claims that his opponent lived outside of his district.
“I live in the district,” a smug Swalwell said in a 2012 video. “I will make sure that I commute to Washington and always stay connected to my district.”
If by “commute to” he meant buy a home there, move his family there, and then stay in hotels when “home” in his district, then yes, promise kept.
