Eric Swalwell Gets Dragged Into Oblivion After Posting Videos Of Himself Bench Pressing 135

Posted • July 28, 2025: Representative Eric Swalwell has been posting videos on social media in an attempt to make himself appear athletic. It's unclear why he is doing this. And it's not working. Swalwell appears to be intent on claiming that a scheduled congressional recess is some sort of government shutdown by Republicans to avoid releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. For whatever reason, the series of videos attempts to make the congressman appear to be a sports buff. A sportsball aficionado. A jock. In short, all of the words you would never associate with, say, a person like Eric Swalwell. The series of videos kicked off with the California Democrat casually standing in his pool, lamenting the fact that "I should be working right now." Each clip follows essentially the same script: "I should be in Congress. I should be voting to lower your costs. But instead, I'm in a pool. Because Republicans sent everyone home because they don't want to release the Epstein files."

Swalwell then turns to hit a three-foot shot on his little Fisher-Price poolside basketball hoop to show off his athletic prowess. Or something. https://rumble.com/v6wsmu6-a-soggy-eric-swalwell-blames-gop-for-not-getting-things-done-while-shooting.html —— It should be noted, the last time we saw Mr. Swalwell shirtless like that was when he was skirting COVID rules to ride a camel in Qatar with Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ). Truly horrifying. The Chinese spy connoisseur then posted another video of him playing baseball with essentially the same message. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1949192812295045120/vid/avc1/1080x1920/k3GeBl1pLub3x4sC.mp4 —— Swalwell previously tossed the first pitch at an Oakland Athletics game, and well, if you're wondering how that went, just check out this form. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1838840426171053&set=pcb.1838843779504051 —— He bounced it to the catcher because, of course, he did.

Hard to believe Swalwell fancies himself an expert on what "real men" are, especially while sporting those frames that he clearly picked from the ladies' side of the aisle at Visionworks. Swalwell's master painting, however, his Mona Lisa, his pièce de résistance, came when he posted a video of himself bench pressing 135 pounds and getting winded halfway through his diatribe. —— A few thoughts: • "Pumping iron" is a loose description here. Aluminum, maybe. • Why? • Can you imagine being the poor intern who has to stand over him and record the video? • Mr. Olympia here's athletic career consisted of him breaking both of his thumbs playing soccer. • Why? —— Predictably, folks on X were not kind regarding the Democrat's attempts to show off his social media influencer chops. "I was proud of putting 135 lbs, too. When I was 14 and I weighed 110 lbs.," wrote former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin. "I can see why [Swalwell] wants men in women's sports." (…)
