Rep. Eric Swalwell’s surplus shoelaces have now tied up a place in history.

At the end of the Dublin Democrat’s short-lived presidential campaign, Swalwell was left with $7,000 worth of branded shoelaces. The excess swag was transferred to his congressional campaign, as detailed in a campaign finance report filed at the end of the fundraising quarter.

Just imagine it's the year 2119 and they are cleaning relics out of the musty California State Library attic...
"What in the world are all these old shoelaces doing in here? Who was this Swalwell guy? Toss them out."

The shoelaces were confiscated during booking so he wouldn’t Epstein himself.

The sound is real. Whether the noise is what it sounds like and if said the noise actually came from Swalwell himself is still up for debate.

He won’t be around long. Trump shoots cruise missiles at tyrants who gas their own people.

Nope, it came from him, and it was a fart. No need to fly top cover for him.

He nuked us, just like he said.

Unfortunately, he likes to let one rip from time to time.

He will forever be known as Eric Fartswell.

Many say it did. Rep. “Passing Gas” denies it.
