Swalwell taken to woodshed after citing NY Times to claim Americans ‘doing much better under Biden’

California Rep. Eric Swalwell has long been accused of being a “dumb a–,” but his latest ditzy move has critics thinking that even this insult is a gross underestimation of the lawmaker’s true “stupidity.”

Citing a New York Times opinion column, Swalwell claimed in a tweet posted last week that “all” Americans, particularly rural Americans, are faring better economically under President Joe Biden versus under former President Donald Trump.

“Compared to the Trump years, we are all doing much better under @POTUS Biden. But that’s especially true in Rural America. Share this story to make sure we all understand the difference and impact,” he wrote.

Note that Swalwell posted the tweet during the same week that word emerged that the U.S. economy shrank by 1.4 percent in the first quarter of 2022.

As of Sunday, the tweet hadn’t been ratioed thanks to the existence of so many other people who apparently share his level of cognitive function (or dysfunction?).

But the tweet had nevertheless attracted a large quantity of backlash from those who’ve actually been paying attention to the current economic indicators.

Note how one critic asked whether Swalwell is truly “that dumb.” To be clear, the congressman’s record suggests he is indeed this intellectually lacking.

So do the facts, such as the bombshell announcement last week that one of the top inflation measures has hit a 40-year high.

“Americans had to reach deeper into their pockets in March, as yet another key inflation index showed prices hit a fresh 40-year high. The Personal Consumption Expenditures price index increased by 6.6% for the year ended in March, the Commerce Department reported Friday. It was the highest rate since the period ended January 1982, outpacing the figure from February,” according to CNN.

This matters because according to data from the Congressional Budget Office, “inflation harms rural communities at a disproportionately higher rate than urban areas,” as reported in The Hill three months ago by Rep. Jason Smith, a Republican.

“CBO found inflation in rural areas was 130 percent that of urban areas, causing an inflationary erosion of wages that resulted in 25 percent slower real wage growth in rural areas compared to urban areas. In short, it is that much harder for Americans living in rural communities to afford to put gas in their cars, clothes on their backs, and food on their table,” Smith accurately reported.

Apparently, Swalwell never got the memo.

(*Language warning)

Swalwell has been late on many matters, including most notably the Russian collusion delusion hoax and conspiracy theory.

Even after former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report effectively exonerated then-President Donald Trump, the California lawmaker continued to accuse the then-president of being Russian President Vladimir Putin’s stooge.

At the time, former Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy said that the lawmaker’s stupidity was so severe that the idea of a President Eric Swalwell (the lawmaker was running for president at the time) “ought to scare the ever-living hell out of you!”

  4. I’m scared for America should an AOC, SWALLOWWELL, Buttigieg, etc. become a future President of the United States.

  5. Have always said that Swalwell and AOC would make quite a couple. One would hope they never multiply, IMO.

  9. The thought of any Democrat in the White House scares the hell out of me! I knew this before our so called “informed” electorate ever put our demented turd in the White House. I know, the DGB is going send its brown shirted goon squad after me, but I really don’t care!!

    Let’s go Brandon!!

  10. If it were not for AOC California Rep. Eric Swalwell would be the hands down dumbest member of Congress.

  11. Let me see if I got this correct. The TRAITOR who slept with a Chinese SPY for 6 freekin years is still on the Intelligence Committee even thought he’s dumber than a rock, and we are supposed to listen to him. He was born without intelligence and he’ll die STUPID!!! This is the “best” that California can give America’s Congress???

    1. That’s our new enlightened government! Absolutely no accountability. To think, some of us keep voting these turds into office

  13. Swalwell dumber than a bag of hammers? I don’t think hammers are quite that dumb!

  14. TELL THE LIE ENOUGH TIMES AND THE LEFTY,S BASE WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING !! F.J.B.

  15. I would say Swalwell is the most stupid MF**Ker in the democratic leadership. Maybe he should continue to sleep with that Chinese spy, I hope they are paying her enough money for it. Remember this is the same sissy that had ABSOLUTE proof that Trump colluded with Russia. I hope sleepy eyed joes’ illegal truth board investigates him first. FJB.

  16. You have to quit asking Democrats “how dumb can you be” because they are accepting it as a challenge.

  17. It’s bad enough that he is such a dumb ass but how about the even dumber asses who elect him! Dumb Ass Disease must be of epidemic or pandemic proportions in California! In fact, I think it affects all Democrats!

  18. How can this moron be a representative? My dog is smarter than him. There must be a way to impeach him just for his stupidity alone. If not, surely for spreading his treasonous lies. Republicans have to win in November, to stop the liberal shananagans.

    1. Sorry to all the dogs. A dead slug roasting on the side of the highway in 100-degree heat, is smarter than him.

  22. There’s just plain old STUPID and then there’s a SPECIAL KIND OF STUPID! He should be DRUG TESTED!
