The political career of Rep. Eric Swalwell—the same Democrat who slept with Chinese spy Fang Fang while serving on the House Intelligence Committee—has officially cratered as he makes a hasty retreat from California's governor's race.
According to a new poll published Thursday, Swalwell's "stunning political collapse" has cleared the field for Obama-era Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, giving the former Biden administration official a significant boost ahead of the June 2 primary.
Let's be honest, folks—was anyone really surprised that the congressman who got honey-trapped by a Chinese intelligence operative couldn't hack it in a statewide race? Californians might vote for radical leftists, but apparently even they draw the line at national security risks.
The Swamp Rats Regroup
With Swalwell out of the picture, California Democrats are now splitting their support between billionaire climate extremist Tom Steyer and other far-left candidates. Becerra, who spent years weaponizing the DOJ against President Trump during his first term, appears positioned to capitalize on the chaos.
Remember, this is the same Xavier Becerra who sued the Trump administration over 100 times as California's Attorney General, fighting everything from border security to energy independence. Now he wants to run the entire Golden State into the ground.
The poll results show Democrats scrambling to find a candidate who can actually make it to the general election without being derailed by espionage scandals or other embarrassing revelations. But here's the thing—when your entire party platform is built on destroying American values, character problems tend to be a feature, not a bug.
Swalwell's exit represents more than just one politician's downfall. It's a reminder that the chickens always come home to roost, even in the swamp of California politics. His cozy relationship with Fang Fang didn't just compromise national security—it ended his political ambitions.
As California continues its descent into chaos under Democrat leadership, one has to wonder: will voters finally wake up and demand leaders who put America first instead of Chinese spies?
