Does Eric Swalwell need a visit from California's social services?

 by Monica Showalter

Rep. Eric Swalwell, now the frontrunner for California's governor in the upcoming election according to one poll, is facing down accusations by Democrat rival Tom Steyer and others that he doesn't actually live in this state.

Swalwell denies it, of course, and says his single rented room in a 1,350-foot home otherwise housing a family of three in Livermore, California, is his primary residence.

Eric Swalwell is trying to pull a SCAM.

He, his wife and kids don't live with him in a room in a tiny house in California.

He is NOT QUALIFIED to be Governor of California.

He MUST drop out of the race. https://t.co/bY1kTcJ0OR

So for old time's sake, let's take him at his word and assume he's telling us the truth about really, truly, living in this state he thinks he's entitled to run.

John Nolte of Breitbart noted that Swalwell has a wife and three kids, and because of all the attention Steyer's charges are drawing, he's taken to whining that he can't let them go outside:

Oddly enough, Swalwell doesn’t dispute this. He only claims that by revealing this information, Steyer put his and his family’s lives at risk…

“I receive hundreds of death threats every year. My children are not allowed in the yard. That’s why my address is private. And now Tom Steyer has not only put my life at risk but also my family’s by releasing my address,” Swalwell wrote on X. “And the California Post and Daily Mail took his bait and are harassing my neighbors. Tom, you can try to buy this election all you want, but this is low, even for you.”

So with the kids packed inside Swalwell's "primary" residence, how big of a room might be found in a 1,350-foot house that houses three other people in Livermore, California?

According to a Grok search, it would typically be about 10 feet by 12 feet of space. For a master bedroom, 14 feet by 14 feet tops.

Is he trying to tell us he's got three kids crammed into a 10' x 11' foot room? Packed together, like human smuggling rackets do it, waiting for the lawmen to pass them over?

Maybe this guy needs a visit from social services over exposing children to unhealthy living conditions. We have a lot of such stories out in California.

But Swalwell doesn't care. The wokester state secretary of state, Shirley Weber, has said the residency law in California is "unconstitutional and unenforceable" which certainly serves her purposes. And now he's now got a coveted endorsement from the SEIU public employees union and has moved into first place in the polls for the upcoming primary. The SEIU reputedly runs California and does its rigging. They, too, don't bother about residency requirements. Their last California senator, Alphonse Butler, who was appointed to the interim term left by Kamala Harris from 2023 to 2024, didn't live in California, either.

Didn't bother any of them a bit. Who needs rules when you are a Democrat?
