Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is facing a perfect storm of controversy as he simultaneously defends sanctuary cities that shield illegal immigrants from deportation while being exposed for spending over $200,000 in campaign funds on personal childcare expenses.
During Tuesday's appearance on "CNN News Central," the gubernatorial candidate made the outrageous claim that Democrats shouldn't accept any changes to sanctuary cities as part of DHS funding negotiations. According to Swalwell, sanctuary cities exist so "we don't deport people for helping to make our communities safer."
Let that sink in, Patriots. This is the same politician who thinks illegal immigrants "make our communities safer" while President Trump's administration works tirelessly to remove dangerous criminals and gang members from American streets through the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.
Campaign Finance Scandal Exposes Democrat Hypocrisy
But Swalwell's sanctuary city defense comes as Americans are discovering how he's been treating campaign contributions like his personal ATM. Social media erupted with outrage over his financial misconduct, with one user posting: "These Democrats treat their campaign contributions as their personal piggy bank. Swalwell reimburses himself for childcare to the tune of 200k."
"A dirtbag and a thief, in other words, a communist Democrats/liberal," another frustrated American wrote on social media, perfectly capturing how fed-up voters feel about this kind of corruption.
A campaign finance expert told Fox News that Swalwell's childcare spending represents a "slippery slope" and is "creating a special class of politicians" who live by different rules than hardworking American families.
This is exactly the kind of swamp behavior that President Trump was elected to drain. While Swalwell lectures Americans about protecting illegal immigrants, he's been quietly enriching himself with campaign cash that should have been used to serve his constituents.
The timing couldn't be worse for Swalwell, who's now running for California governor while defending policies that directly undermine Trump's America First agenda. As ICE agents work around the clock to remove criminal aliens, politicians like Swalwell are doing everything possible to obstruct justice and protect those who shouldn't be here in the first place.
How can voters trust a politician who can't even handle campaign finances honestly to protect American communities from the very real dangers of unchecked illegal immigration?
