Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., is facing heat for attempting to discredit a user on X who said sexual misconduct allegations against Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who is running for governor, will end up "kick[ing] his a--."

Gallego, who has been friends with Swalwell for many years, also defended Swalwell for being "targeted" in a separate post on social media, arguing he is the subject of sexual misconduct allegations because he is "in first place."

Swalwell has fiercely denied the allegations being elevated on social media by Democratically-aligned politicos, including Cheyenne Hunt, a former Capitol Hill staffer who is currently a nonprofit director at the group Gen-Z for Change, and Arielle Fodor, a "political content creator," teacher and mother who dubs herself "Mrs. Frazzled" online.

"This false, outrageous rumor is being spread 27 days before an election begins by flailing opponents who have sadly teamed up with MAGA conspiracy theorists because they know Eric Swalwell is the frontrunner in this race," Micah Beasley, a spokesperson for Swalwell, said on Tuesday.

"Yeah I’m gonna be so real with you…Swalwell is a wrap. I’ve seen what I needed to see," Fodor wrote on X under her "Mrs. Frazzled" pseudonym. "He isn’t going to sue ANYBODY over talking about this because discovery would kick his a--. Why this man ran for governor is BEYOND ME."

In direct response, replying to an X post quoting her comment, Gallego shot back: "This person started to posting for the first time 3 days ago…"

More spokespeople. Eric should step up to the plate.

Could we just pick random people out of the phone book to serve in Congress? We’d be better off.

Sure any woman who may have a complaint about Gallego has had a communication from a cartel or two.

It’s his karma, Ruben. Didn’t Swallowswell smear the accused in the Jan 6 deal for years on end? Yeah.

I hope your karma ripens soon, Sen. Gallegos. It’ll be great. :)
