Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) – the same disgraced politician who was compromised by a Chinese spy – is now being exposed as nothing more than a corporate puppet for California's utility monopolies. According to a bombshell new report, Swalwell has pocketed a staggering $113,000 from PG&E and other utility companies while simultaneously promising voters he'll lower their energy costs as governor.

Talk about having your cake and eating it too! This is exactly the kind of swamp corruption that President Trump has been fighting against – politicians who say one thing to voters while their pockets are being lined by the very corporations screwing over hardworking Americans.

California families are already being crushed by some of the highest energy rates in the nation, thanks to the state's radical green agenda and utility company greed. Now we find out that Swalwell – who wants to be the Golden State's next governor – has been bankrolled by the same companies responsible for these outrageous bills.

The Ultimate Swamp Creature

This shouldn't surprise anyone who's been paying attention. Swalwell is the same guy who spent years pushing the Russia hoax while being compromised by Chinese intelligence operative Christine Fang. Now he's taking corporate cash while pretending to be a champion of the people.

"How can Californians trust a word this guy says when he's literally being paid by the companies he claims he'll regulate?"

The hypocrisy is breathtaking, but it's par for the course for today's Democrat Party. They talk a big game about fighting for working families, but when you follow the money, they're always in bed with the same corporate interests they claim to oppose.

Meanwhile, President Trump's energy dominance agenda is already delivering results nationwide, with domestic oil and gas production reaching record highs and energy costs dropping for American families who were hammered by Biden's failed policies.

California voters deserve better than another corrupt politician who's already been bought and paid for by special interests. The question is: will they finally wake up and reject this kind of swamp corruption, or will they fall for Swalwell's lies once again?

This explains everything. No wonder California has some of the highest energy costs in the nation while politicians like Swalwell pretend to fight for us.

My restaurant's electricity bill has tripled in the past two years thanks to PG&E. Now I know why nothing ever gets done about it - politicians are bought and paid for!

Same here with my auto shop. These utility companies are crushing small businesses while paying off politicians.

Does anyone know if there are other Democrats taking similar payments from PG&E? I bet this goes much deeper than just Swalwell.

How is this legal? Taking money from the very companies you're supposed to regulate should be a crime.
