Billionaire kicks Eric Swalwell out of his mansion and wants $1M back after heinous sex allegations

Lefty billionaire Stephen Cloobeck dramatically cut ties with Eric Swalwell and revealed he has kicked him out of his mansion — hours before the congressman dropped his run for California governor.

“I am no longer supporting Eric,” Cloobeck told The Post in an exclusive interview. “F—ing tell everyone I’m a libertarian. F— you, Democrat Party. I’m a libertarian now.”

The ugly break-up between the timeshare mogul and Bay Area congressman — who pulled out of the governor’s race late Sunday — marks yet another stunning point in Swalwell’s cratering political career.

Following public allegations Friday of rape, sexual assault and other sexual misconduct made by several women who knew or worked for Swalwell, the Bay Area congressman lost most of his endorsements, he’s potentially facing expulsion from Congress and become the subject of a criminal investigation.

Cloobeck spent more than $1 million supporting Swalwell’s candidacy, and the embattled congressman filmed his denial video Friday from inside the billionaire’s palatial Beverly Hills mansion.

Cloobeck confirmed Swalwell was no longer staying with him and the billionaire’s alleged honeytrapper fiancée, who has been accused of burglarizing the homes of other rich, old men in Los Angeles.

“I have a lot of people who stay at my house,” Cloobeck said with a laugh. “I built a gorgeous place, my dream home, I relish it, and I’m a very generous man. I’m very thoughtful and I’m very kind.”

He added that he would need to talk with his attorney to see if can claw back the $1 million he gave an independent committee supporting Swalwell.

You are probably correct.
Unlike the GOP, the left will never allow a split ticket.

[silverleaf]

Eric’s gonna have to find a new place to couch surf….

[unixfox]

I want to know if Congress paid out any money for any of the complaints against him from their Slush/Hush fund.

We will never know this. All of them are thick as thieves. They know if they rat on each other the whole cabal crumbles.

[escapefromboston]

They could have asked him to step aside.

[ridesthemiles]

EVEN SWALWELL DOESN’T KNOW WHERE THAT IS-—IT DOESN’T EXIST.

[ridesthemiles]

SO DID THE MEDIA

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I would’t touch that man with someone else’s toilet cleaning brush!!!!!!

[dljordan]

How is it the Dems can always find a raped aide hiding somewhere when they want to smear someone?

[Getready]

Exactly. Got the bully boy, snarky face. The world was his cause he could push everyone out of his way. Now, it turns out his lifes trajectory took him to being a drunk rapist.

[Smellin Salt]

Well, it’s time for old Eric to pay the piper. He must be threatening the status quo.. Ho ho, he’s got to go. I’ve been practicing my slogans so I can fit in at the peace march.

Who instigated the take-down of Swalwell? In less than a week there were the allegations, the video, and all his endorsements pulled. Then he suspended his campaign.

This doesn’t appear to be from the right (the GOP isn’t this ruthless) but definitely comes from the left. Was it from the Dem party itself? Certain factions of the party? Pelosi? Or from Porter’s campaign?

[subterfuge]

Biff from Back To The Future!

[GaryCrow]

He really must have pissed off the wrong people. (Though I don’t doubt the accusations are true)

I've got to hand it to the democrats. When they decide to get rid of someone they do it posthaste and without mercy. Everyone and their dog has known Swalwell was scum since the Fang Fang scandal (which should have landed him in jail) but the dem power masters ordered it ignored because they thought he could be maneuvered into higher office. When it starts to look like having him in the California governor's race is risking their power they bring out the guillotine for him. It's a power play reminiscent of the takedown of Bernie Sanders when it looked like he was going to become the democratic nominee for president. Overnight they cut Sanders off at the knees and moved Hillary Clinton to the front.

It just goes to show what an organization completely without ethics is capable of when it's dissatisfied with one of it's own completely unethical members. I only wish the Republicans showed one tenth the inclination to jettison some of our RINOs when they become a liability. The democrats are showing a lot of their mafia roots, Swalwell is probably lucky that he just got kicked to the curb.

[Biblebelter]

Am I the only person who thinks Swallwell is being treated a bit unfairly?

Bubba was a rapist, yet he still is in favor with the Marxist politburo.

They put up a statue in the snake pit which is the United Elites Senate to Teddy Kennedy whose crimes against women are well documented.

And don’t forget Pedo Joe who showered with daughter and his sexual assault on Tara Reid.

As far as low-lifes go, I’d rank this Swallwell guy behind all three.

[Bon of Babble]

Democrats knew Swawell’s sexual assaults and proclivities would sink him. They needed to get rid of him to narrow down the Democrat field for Cal. governor, right now the Dem vote is split and two Republicans are in the lead.

Can’t have that!

This will hopefully (for them) give Swawell’s votes to a more palatable candidate, Dem Tom Steyer. Katie Porter is horrible, so they probably won’t go after her.

[rhinohunter]

Was it from the Dem party itself? Certain factions of the party? Pelosi? Or from Porter’s campaign?

My money's on Pelosi. She was hatchetperson for Biden right?

[jpp113]

Swallowswell was dumped by the DNC just like his idol Biden
