Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson didn’t hold back on the latest episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” as he dissected the questionable actions and lavish expenditures of Rep. Eric Swalwell, shedding light on the hypocrisy within Congress. In a no-holds-barred takedown, Carlson and his guest, Chadwick Moore, left no stone unturned.
Tucker began by labeling Congress as an unexpected “jobs program” that funds the extravagant lifestyles of politicians like Swalwell. He quipped, “You never think of the US Congress as a jobs program. On the other hand, what would Eric Swalwell be doing without it? Well, he’d be slinging drinks at a Fuddruckers at a strip mall.” It’s safe to say that without Congress, Swalwell’s life would be very different.
The discussion quickly veered into Swalwell’s infamous romantic relationship with Chinese spy Fang Fang. Tucker didn’t mince words, mocking Swalwell’s involvement with a foreign operative while holding a position of national trust. He pointed out the stark contrast between Swalwell’s extravagant travels, funded by donors, and the average American’s day-to-day struggles.
Chadwick Moore joined the conversation, revealing eye-opening campaign expenditure details. He humorously remarked, “Oh man, I wish that I was on spring break with Eric Swalwell. Brought to you by Bud Light and the CCP, it appears to be.” Moore highlighted campaign expenditures that included $11,000 on hotels in Miami Beach and $8,000 on hotels in New York’s Times Square. He drew attention to the peculiar choice of locations and hinted at the presence of Chinese massage parlors in the vicinity.
Tucker just ENDED Eric Swalwell's career with most savage 30 seconds of pure roast ever broadcast on TV:

The spending spree continued with $6,000 in West Hollywood, California, where Swalwell’s campaign possibly indulged in drag queen brunches. Moore cheekily dubbed it “the Selma, Alabama, of the drag queen civil rights movement.” Finally, they spent nearly $10,000 in Las Vegas, leaving Tucker and Moore wondering what Swalwell was up to there.
Tucker commented, “I think that’s right. But you just got to think, you see, grateful. I mean, you can imagine him as your over-talkative waiter on a cruise ship without Congress, but now he’s got like a necktie on and seven weird sex with Chinese spies. And he’s going to Vegas; like, this is a massive upgrade for the man.”
Moore then delved into why Swalwell’s donors seemingly don’t mind his extravagant lifestyle at their expense. He explained, “If your whole party platform is basically changing the weather, and uplifting every minority in the country and everything else they want to do, it’s gonna cost a lot of money and take a lot of time, and those are gonna be really, really high hotel bills.” In essence, Swalwell’s donors are getting what they want, and they seem content with it.
This scathing critique of Rep. Swalwell’s actions and expenditures sheds light on the disconnect between Congress and the American people. While Swalwell may enjoy the perks of his position, including global travel and lavish hotel stays, it raises questions about the priorities and responsibilities of our elected representatives.As Tucker Carlson and Chadwick Moore highlighted, Swalwell’s behavior may be in line with his party’s platform, but it certainly raises eyebrows among conservative viewers. The episode served as a stark reminder of the ongoing debates surrounding the use of campaign funds and the accountability of elected officials.
In the end, whether Swalwell’s career faces lasting damage or not, his extravagant lifestyle and questionable choices have become a focal point of discussion, and Tucker Carlson’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” is not afraid to put it under the spotlight.
