Eric Swalwell’s Anti-Cop Radicalism: From Campus Editorials to Targeting ICE Officers

When I filed a Petition for Writ of Mandate to remove Eric Swalwell from the California governor’s race for failing to meet the state’s five-year residency requirement, I expected a legal response.

Instead, Swalwell responded on Twitter by calling me a “MAGA idiot.” That insult prompted me and my great researcher, Shannon Knutsen, to take a closer look at his past — specifically, his college writings.

What we found was revealing.

On December 3, 1999, while a student at Campbell University in North Carolina, Eric Swalwell published an opinion column in the student newspaper titled “U.S. Political Prisoners: A Cry for Justice.”

Writing under the moniker “Eric Swalwell, The Radically Poetic,” he concluded the piece with a blunt demand: “America, it’s time to wake up. Free Peltier. Free Abu-Jamal. Free all political prisoners.”

Eric Swalwell Eroticizes Violence Against Women in Disturbing Drunken College Sex Poem Inbox

After I filed a Petition for Writ of Mandate against the California Secretary of State, demanding that Eric Swalwell be removed from the California governor’s race, Swalwell attacked me on Twitter, calling me a “MAGA idiot”.

In my petition, I contended that because the California Constitution requires a candidate for governor to live in the state for 5 years prior to an election, that Swalwell does not qualify.

I cited the fact that Swalwell declared his Washington D.C. home as his principal residence on his Deed of Trust, while not having any address in California.

In fact, Swalwell used his attorney’s address on his personal candidate statement Form 501 when filing to run for governor in California, under penalty of perjury, stating that was his home address. Its all on my website: SwalwellIsDisqualified.com.

All Swalwell had to do on Twitter was say “Hey Joel, you are wrong, here’s my California home address”. But he didn’t have one, so he stooped to name calling.

Swalwell’s childish behavior inspired me to have a look at his college years, starting with his attendance at Campbell University, a private Christian, liberal arts university in Buies Creek, North Carolina for two years after graduating high school from 1999 to 2001.

Swalwell was a Government and History student and wrote for the student newspaper “The Campbell Times”.

Low and behold I discovered that Swalwell also contributed a disturbing violent sex poem to the annual literary magazine “The Lyricist”.

In the 2001 edition of “The Lyricist”, Eric Swalwell wrote a drunken violent erotic sex poem entitled “Hungover From Burgundy”.

The Contributor’s Notes page describes Eric Swalwell as “an active member off the Campbell University student body, a write for the Campbell Times, and is completing his third screenplay”.

Eric Swalwell’s Effort to Get ICE Director Todd Lyons to Resign During Hearing Backfires Spectacularly When Lyons Catches the Leftist Spreading a Vile Hoax

Rep. Eric “Fang Fang” Swalwell (D-China) was left humiliated today after trying to con the director of ICE into throwing in the towel when an inconvenient fact was pointed out to him.

As CBS News reported, the House Homeland Security Committee held a hearing focused on the activities of ICE in the wake of last month’s fatal shooting involving two leftist activists and the partial drawdown of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis.

ICE Director Todd Lyons and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott, and Joseph Edlow, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), all appeared at the hearing to testify.

When it was his turn to question Lyons, Swalwell had 5-year-old Liam Ramos in the background as a prop. As TGP readers know, Swalwell, his fellow Democrats, and the media amplified a wicked hoax story alleging that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “detained” the child during an arrest operation in Minnesota.

In reality, his illegal alien father abandoned him on the street as he fled immigration enforcement.

The father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, had been ordered deported by a federal judge back to Ecuador, his country of origin.

The congressman started off the interrogation by complimenting Lyons’ career before rattling off a series of what he considered abuses by ICE and misconduct by Lyons’ bosses at DHS.

Swalwell then demanded to know whether Lyons would fall on his sword and quit ICE over the hoax. Not surprisingly, Lyons said no.

When Swalwell asked why, Lyons left the congressman red-faced after pointing out the facts of the Ramos case.

Left Wing ‘Resist’ Libs From Hollywood Line Up Behind Eric Swalwell’s Bid for Governor in California

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s bid for governor of California is being supported by a ‘who’s who’ list of Hollywood’s most insufferable left wing celebrities.

It’s rather telling that these are the people who want him to lead the state, even after legitimate questions have been raised about him not even being qualified to be in the race.

His involvement with a supposed Chinese spy should be disqualifying enough on its own.

The liberal celebrities who are backing him just don’t seem to care.

The New York Post reports:

Sean Penn, Robert De Niro lead Hollywood A-listers lining up behind lefty Eric Swalwell’s bid for California governor

Hollywood’s woke donor class has a new favorite: Eric Swalwell.

The lefty congressman has raked in more than $100,000 from entertainment industry donors as he eyes a run for California governor, The California Post has learned.

Democrat Swalwell, whose district in the East Bay is a few hundred miles north of Los Angeles, has hauled in the most money from entertainment industry players among hopefuls to replace term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom this year, a Post review of campaign records shows.

Donors included “One Battle After Another” star Sean Penn, who tossed $15,000 into Swalwell’s campaign coffers, the records show.

A-list actors Robert De Niro and Jon Hamm pitched in $10,000 apiece, as did “Two and a Half Men” star Jon Cryer.

The late actor and director Rob Reiner also contributed $10,000 before his tragic death.

No one is surprised by any of this.

What’s He Got to Hide? — Eric Swalwell Blurs Out his ‘Mortgage Fraud’ Home in Washington D.C. on Google Maps

Does Eric Swalwell really think that blurring out his house on Google Maps can wipe out the facts?

Ironically, Swalwell had previously enjoyed showing off his home at 209 S Street NE in Washington, D.C. to the world. Variety Magazine featured Swalwell’s home when he purchased it in 2020.

On his Instagram account, Swalwell has repeatedly posted photos inside and outside of his home, his dog sleeping on the living room floor, looking out at his backyard, and even a birthday video with his children.

Now, Eric Swalwell has blurred out his home on Google Maps so it cannot be viewed online.

Google Maps allows homeowners to blur their homes as part of Google’s broader privacy and safety policy. To request blurring, a homeowner uses the “Report a Problem” feature directly within Google Maps Street View.

The user just navigates to their address, clicks the reporting link, then selects the option to blur their home. Once a home is blurred, the blur is permanent for that location in Street View, even if ownership changes.

The Real Story of Eric Swalwell and Fang Fang, His Chinese ‘Honey Trap’ Spy

Chinese national Fang Fang, who adopted the Americanized first name “Christine”, was a suspected Chinese intelligence operative who embedded herself in U.S. political circles between 2011 and 2015.

One of the politicians she cultivated was California Congressman Eric Swalwell, now a candidate for governor of California.

Fang arrived in the United States in 2011, enrolling at California State University, East Bay.

Despite appearing around 10 years older than most students, she quickly rose to prominence, becoming president of both the Chinese Student Association and the campus chapter of Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs.

Fang’s activities extended well beyond campus. She spent substantial time attending Democratic Party networking events throughout the Bay Area and elsewhere, placing herself in close proximity to rising political figures.

In October 2012, she was photographed at a political event alongside Eric Swalwell, who at the time was a Dublin City Council member campaigning for Congress.

During that campaign, Fang reportedly brought Swalwell donors, helped raise funds, and recommended at least one intern who ultimately worked in Swalwell’s congressional office.

After his election, Swalwell was appointed to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in January 2015, later serving as the lead Democrat on the CIA oversight subcommittee.

Fang’s political reach was not limited to Swalwell. She was photographed with a Chinese consular official and Russell Lowe, the longtime office director for Senator Dianne Feinstein, who was later revealed to have been a Chinese intelligence agent himself.

Eric Swalwell Vows to Arrest ICE Agents, Revoke their Driver’s Licenses if Elected Governor of California – “You Have to Go on Offense”

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said on Tuesday that he plans to “go on offense” against federal agents in California, charging them with crimes and preventing them from driving in the state. 

If elected governor in November, “what I’m going to do is make sure that they take off their masks and show their faces, that they show their identification, and if they commit crimes, that they’re going to be charged with crimes,” Swalwell said on MS NOW’s All In.

“I also think if the governor has the ability to issue driver’s licenses to people in California,” he continued, “if you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California.” Yet, they’ll still allow illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses.

However, Swalwell may not even be eligible to run for Governor of California, given his lack of a California residence for the past five years.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, despite being an elected representative for the state of California, Swalwell does not have a home in California and has listed Washington, DC as his primary residence. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte has submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice for mortgage fraud.

Still, Swalwell’s current plan is to fight off federal officials to protect illegal aliens and criminals, who he describes as “the most vulnerable in our community.”

The Swalwell Files: Fake News Reuters Scrambles to Save Swalwell, Still No California Address, Still Dead Broke

California Congressman Eric Swalwell has accumulated an extraordinary record of controversy: his well-documented association with the Chinese intelligence asset known as “Fang Fang,” his removal from the House Intelligence Committee over national-security concerns, and his unforgettable on-air incident during a 2019 Hardball with Chris Matthews interview.

These episodes alone raise questions about judgment. But recent disclosures expose something even more fundamental.

Eric Swalwell appears unable to meet the basic legal, financial, and residency requirements of the office he now seeks, Governor of California.

As I reported in The Gateway Pundit (‘DISQUALIFIED! – Congressman Eric Swalwell Names Washington DC Home as ‘Principal Residence’), Swalwell’s own mortgage filings designate his Washington, D.C. property as his principal residence.

Under Article V, Section 2 of the California Constitution and California and Elections Code §349, that admission alone disqualifies him from running for governor.

Five years of residency prior to an election is a constitutional requirement, and Swalwell’s Deed of Trust in D.C. and lack of any California address disqualify him.

The situation escalated when Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte referred Swalwell to the Department of Justice for potential mortgage fraud.

Swalwell responded by filing a civil lawsuit against Pulte and FHFA, absurdly claiming in the lawsuit that his mortgage listed on the public database mytax.dc.gov was private, while falsely claiming he included an affidavit with his mortgage claiming it was only his wife’s home.

Disqualification Scandal Grows! — Eric Swalwell Caught Using Attorney’s Address on Personal Disclosure Form

Congressman Eric Swalwell continues struggling to conceal the fact that he has not maintained a California home for the past five years, a constitutional requirement to run for Governor of California.

The controversy intensified last month following my revelations that Swalwell listed his Washington, D.C. house as his “principal residence” on legally binding mortgage documents, directly contradicting the residency qualifications under California law.

As I reported in The Gateway Pundit (‘DISQUALIFIED! – Congressman Eric Swalwell Names Washington DC Home as ‘Principal Residence’), Swalwell’s own mortgage filings designate his D.C. home as his true residence. Under both the California Constitution (Article V, Section 2) and Elections Code §349, this admission alone renders him ineligible for the office.

California Form 501: The Home Address Requirement

To run for governor, candidates must file California Form 501, the Candidate Intention Statement, with the Secretary of State.

The very first section, “Candidate Information,” requires a real, verifiable home street address. This mandate exists to confirm identity, establish legal residency, and prevent fraud in the candidate qualification process.

Yet on his Form 501, signed under penalty of perjury on November 11, 2015, Swalwell listed his home address as “400 Capitol Mall, Suite 2400, Sacramento, CA 95814.”

This is not his home address. It is the office of his attorneys at Greenberg Traurig, LLP, the same address (properly) used for his campaign committee on Form 410 but improperly used as a personal residential address on Form 501.

The Property Search: No California Home, Ever

Swalwell represents California’s 15th District and lists Hometown: Livermore on his Congressional profile page.

Using a document retrieval service called “Bay Area File”, I requested a property search in Alameda County public records for any property currently or previously owned by Eric Swalwell.

They reported back no property records associated with this name. Nothing.

“We attempted with different possible variations of the subject. No results matched the true name or variations.”

Eric Swalwell’s Last Stand: A Frivolous Lawsuit to Distract from His Disqualification for California Governor

‘Dead in the water’ is the only accurate description of Congressman Eric Swalwell’s campaign for California governor.

Two weeks ago in my article in the Gateway Pundit, “DISQUALIFIED! – Congressman Eric Swalwell Names Washington, DC Home as ‘Principal Residence,’ I documented that Swalwell is ineligible for the California governorship because he is in violation of the California Constitution and Election Law 349, which requires candidates to make California their “domicile” for 5 years prior to an election. Days later, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte referred Swalwell to the Department of Justice for potential mortgage fraud violations.

Late last week in response, Swalwell posted a video on Twitter/X attempting to regain control of the narrative, announcing his filing of a civil lawsuit against Pulte and the FHFA.

“I’ve decided to go on offense. Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents… So I have brought a privacy suit and a First Amendment retaliation suit against the administration. I hope you take a look at it.”
