As Swalwell fallout continues, Gallego faces scrutiny for friendship
Roll Call ^ | April 15, 2026 | Nina Heller

One day after Sen. Ruben Gallego said he was “betrayed” by good friend Eric Swalwell, a New York lawmaker is calling on Gallego to release communications between him and the former California congressman. “Yesterday we heard claims of drugging, choking, rape,” said Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., said, referring to news reports about Swalwell, D-Calif., who resigned from the House Tuesday after reports of sexual misconduct. “I think it’s imperative for Ruben Gallego to release every text message, every email, every social media exchange, every photo or video of his interactions with Eric Swalwell.”

It tells you that Swalwell was no longer a Useful Idiot for the DNC. Why did it take this long for all the ladies to remain silent? Is Steyer taking over the party?

There’s no way a creep like Gallego wins a fair election over Kari Lake because “Arizona women don’t like her tone.” There’s enough organized election fraud there to justify putting the state under Federal control for the next two hundred years.

The video on X of Swalwell in a hotel with a sex worker and there are either 4 or 5 additional people in the room, one of which looks EXACTLY like Gallego, he denies it but its him, same shoes, and the person filing it supposedly is an underage girl, so yeah, pedos

He should, the guy's up to his eyeballs in Eric's abuse of women, I'd say a willing partner.
His denials have been hilarious. Oh, "he didn't know anything". LOL!

Is that the guy on the right side of the screen whose head pops into the frame every so often?

Ruben Gallego stole his election along with the Governor Katie Hobbs. Even if somehow Congress manages to flush this guy out Katie will simply replace him with someone equally awful.
