Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA), a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, fell for and promoted the tiki torch hoax during the Virginia governor’s race on Friday.
“Birds of a feather,” tweeted Swalwell in response to a now-deleted post that called a photo of five tiki torch-wielding democrats “disgusting.”
Many users on social media called out Swalwell for promoting the tiki torch stunt.
Fox News’s Tucker Carlson was unsurprised Swalwell fell for the hoax, noting Swalwell’s past romantic involvement with Chinese spy Christine Fang.
It was revealed later on Friday that a prominent pro-Democrat group, The Lincoln Project, was behind the hoax, working in tandem with Democrat operative Lauren Windsor.
Friday’s failed tiki torch hoax attempted to link Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin’s campaign to white supremacists.
Throwing out accusations of racist campaigning and criticizing Youngkin for “racist dog whistles” has become a key component of McAuliffe’s strategy going into the last weekend before election day.
After Youngkin released a campaign ad featuring a Virginia parent who is opposed to critical race theory being taught in schools, McAuliffe claimed Youngkin’s message is “a racist dog whistle.”
“In the final week of this race, Glenn Youngkin has doubled down on the same divisive culture wars that have fueled his campaign from the very beginning,” McAuliffe said in a statement on Monday. “Youngkin’s closing message of book banning and silencing esteemed Black authors is a racist dog whistle designed to gin up support from the most extreme elements of his party — mainly his top endorser and surrogate, Donald Trump.”
According to a Fox News poll released Thursday, Youngkin leads McAuliffe by eight points, with 53 percent compared to McAuliffe’s 45 percent support among likely voters.

How did the Chinese ever pull a honeypot over on you? It’s a mystery.

It’s not surprising that ericswalwell fell for today’s hoax.
He’s not a very bright human being
Prominent Democrats endorse Glenn Youngkin!
“...He’s not a very bright human being.
Swalwell is full of hot air and among other things.
Swallowed well again?
Seems that Swallowswell spends a lot of time on his knees. Just ask “Bang, Bang”.
He’s a few won-tons short of a dozen, and a traitor too.
Swalwell only deserves enough attention to hang his traitor ass from the nearest lamppost and forget about him. Damnatio Memoriae. I thought he was too busy f***ing Chicom agents to pay any attention to the US.
How come Youngkin isn’t throwing Governor KKK Blackface in their face?
ha ha ha ha ha ha
The original C-ville tiki torch parade was a left wing agit prop operation as well. The objective was to associate Trump with neo Nazis.
Why did the neo Nazis disappear after C-ville? Why hasn’t there been more tiki torch parades? Because they would have been exposed as Soros paid actors.
The guy who organized the original event was a "Occupy Wall Street" activist. Nobody in any conservative/MAGA circle had ever heard of him. There's good reason that the Proud Boys were telling their people to stay away, that the whole thing stank. Turns out they were right.
If the Fox News poll is correct, then Youngkin will indeed garner 53% of the vote, but unfortunately McAwful will garner 57% of the vote.
RAT Math!
He didn’t fall for it. He was probably part of it.
Its a shame we have buffoons like this in congress.
Tell us about your racist dog whistles.
