ANGRY Major Democrat Donor SWITCHES To Republican Over Democrats COVERING UP Swalwell Allegations!
X ^ | 04/14/2026 | Black Conservative Perspective

Posted on 04/14/2026 5:05:47 PM PDT by SmokingJoe

Quick Summary of the Story

The video covers billionaire businessman Stephen Cloobeck (former timeshare executive, Diamond Resorts) dramatically cutting ties with Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) after serious sexual misconduct allegations against Swalwell surfaced. Cloobeck had been a major donor (over $1M to Swalwell's efforts), endorsed him for California governor after dropping his own bid, and even let Swalwell stay at his Beverly Hills mansion.⁠Fox News

Key points from Cloobeck's statements:

He's done supporting Swalwell and the Democratic Party. He called himself a libertarian (and in some interviews, a "libertarian-Republican" or straight-up Republican). He told Swalwell to "get the f--- out" of his house. He's furious that Democrats allegedly knew about the allegations and covered them up. He wants his money back and feels betrayed.⁠Forbes

This is breaking news from the last day or two (as of April 14-15, 2026), tied to Swalwell suspending his gubernatorial campaign and resigning from Congress amid the scandal.⁠Washingtonexaminer

The YouTube video appears to be a reaction/analysis piece from a right-leaning channel highlighting it as evidence of Democratic hypocrisy or internal rot.

““...timeshare executive...” = scumbag of the first order”

I actually know someone who’s family owns a timeshare, and they really like it.
But I do realize that for every one like here, there are 99% people who realize they were scammed.

Well, maybe he saw the true demoncrat party for what it is…….
If he wants to switch to republican, I think it’s fine.

So far all I see are missiles getting fired without even one credible accusation being made.

That turd was putting on a major theatrical production.

Of course he knew what Swalwell had been doing with women.

He CERTAINLY knew about the Fang Fang situation.

Time sharing RE is a total scam.

Much like LV has become a total ripoff.

No free parking, expensive rooms & drinks, weaker entertainment.

[Trump’s fault? YMMV]

Stephen Turley, not Jonathan Turley.

It was interesting. Bottom line: no media would touch DC but TMZ was always into investigating celebrities and they’ve just opened a DC office and will be investigating ALL of congress. They were involved in the early Swalwell exposure. Cloobeck on camera becoming a libertarian Republican.

This donor must be the most clueless Dem donor on the face of the earth. They all knew about the allegations for a while and just now threw Swalwell under the bus to clear the path for one Dem candidate for governor, not because they just discovered the allegations.

Time shares and toxic waste dumps are the only real estate that you have to pay someone to take off your hands.

If Swalwell can manage to get into the courtroom of a male Moslem judge, he might beat the rap. /not sarcasm
