Eric Swalwell was Nancy Pelosi’s made man, the golden child of San Francisco’s rotten machine politics.
Today he’s roadkill, his name erased from the sign outside his congressional office, vultures feasting on his remains.
Swalwell’s clinical political eradication this week tells you everything about the Democratic Party and how ruthlessly and efficiently it will move to keep power in the state it has controlled for 15 years and run into the ground.
California, our most populous and richest state, is the engine of the Democrats’ vast patronage system, fueled in part by illegal migration and social services fraud that has ripped tens, perhaps hundreds, of billions of dollars off the taxpayers and recycled it through unions and “grassroots” donations back into the party.
That’s why Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, calls California the “kingdom of fraud” as he confronts massive organized ripoffs of Medicaid, home health services and hospice care.
California Democrats, like presidential aspirant Gov. Gavin Newsom, another Pelosi protégé, turn a blind eye to the fraud as the price of prospering in the machine.
Illegal migration, turbocharged under President Joe Biden by his Homeland Security secretary, California hit man Alejandro Mayorkas, also served the machine well, by artificially inflating the state’s census counts and enabling voter fraud.
The census inflation led to extra House seats for California and more electoral votes, and thus more power in presidential elections.
In return, the machine sponsors and protects useful buffoons like Swalwell, who was one of “Pelosi’s boys” from the minute he threw his hat into national politics as a 31-year-old San Francisco councilman with a mischievous grin and a lackluster legal career behind him.
She most likely sponsored Swalwell’s 2012 upset primary defeat of Democratic incumbent Rep. Pete Stark, a 40-year party veteran she couldn’t control.

Yeah we already knew that, what I dont understand is why they even allowed him to run in the first place for Governor, they knew about what he had done, heck they have known since 2013 so they could have just told him not to run and he would have remained congress prick
They allowed him to run when they thought he had a chance.
Then two republicans took the lead and the top two get to run in the main election
so,,, fartwell was splitting SOME democrat votes.
There may be more to follow if there is not someone moving up to at least the number two spot
My guess is the only reason he was “permitted” to resign congress is that the GOP immediately forked over Gonzalez.
Bkmk
Why was Swillwell allowed to run for Governor?
Heck, for about 15 minutes Michael Avenatti was celebrated as the next democRAT presidential candidate.
Alcee Hastings is a democRAT impeached Judge who was later elected as a Democrat to congress.
What a Surprise!
As Trump said to the Iranian dissidents, now it is up to you Californians to vote out the scoundrels, a chance that may not come again for a generation.
Maybe someday.
“My parents always voted Dem all the time, every election and I guess I always will vote Dem until I die someday.”- Californian. 🗳️
That’s it. The dems can’t be the all-knowing and all-in-control political machine after someone screws up and is removed and duck responsibility to putting him there in the first place. Same as with Biden, they picked him, lied for him, and then dumped him all for the same reason: they thought at the time it was the best way to maintain their power.
Everything is a means to that end for dems. When something ceases to be, it’s flushed lie a turd.
“Eric Swalwell’s fall from grace was by design”
Well duh, this was a hit by his own party and the rat voters are such clueless idiots they don’t even realize what happened here.
I guess Miranda reads FreeRepublic.
It’s too bad Swalwell won’t turn against his Dem traitors who decided to make him political roadkill.
He knows where so many bodies are buried.
And no longer has to owe them something. I’m sure they aren’t going to grant him some sort of pardon or say he’s in a 12 step sex offender group so let him go home now.
“Hello, everybody. I am Eric.”
Group: “Hello, Eric.”
I thought about his problem when I recently saw The Family Man where the Nicolas Cage husband character was told by his guy friend: “Half of the guys in this city would give their left nut to be married to your wife.” (Played by Tea Leoni).
Cage character had been doubting if he could cope with being a husband.
“is that the GOP immediately forked over Gonzalez.”
Gonzalez was a dead duck. He lost the primary to Brandon Herrera

Its ironic the left says how much they hate billionaires and hate billionaires who especially BUY elections, yet Steyer is literally BUYING this election..all you see are ads for HIM..and you can bet that Steyer is the one who paid off these women to “Come forward” yeah I dont think for a second they came out of the goodness of their heart, they were all told “Ok its save to come out now, its time to destroy this prick now here’s your money” and you can say the same for the Katie Porter tapes of her being a nutcase, Steyer paid for it all
I wouldn’t go that far. But he knows who knows where the bodies are buried.
Democrats don’t do anything for no reason.
Just like when they threw Cuomo under the bus. Hochul is far worse.
We need to seriously keep praying for that election.
Fall yes. From "grace", absolutely not. He was always a filthy frontman for the left. There's no grace there.
I could never stand Tea Leoni
So you were safe. Great feeling.
I actually can’t see what the fuss is about with her. To each their own.
I like to watch that movie every Christmas because of Tea Leoni. My wife, not so much.
