Arizona senator Ruben Gallego (D.) is in the news—and here's what you need to know: The aspiring 2028 presidential candidate is either deaf, dumb, and blind or a degenerate liar. There's really no other possible explanation for his supporting role in the saga of Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.).
Gallego was Swalwell's Capitol Hill roommate and longtime wingman. With Swalwell dropping his bid for governor of California and resigning his seat in Congress in the face of numerous accusations of sexual assault and sexual harassment—plus a video depicting him rolling around on a bed in Las Vegas with an escort—some people are quite reasonably wondering: What did Gallego know and when did he know it?
Gallego, the chairman of Swalwell's short-lived 2020 presidential campaign and a backer of his gubernatorial bid, responded to the news of impending and explosive allegations against his best friend forever with a statement that Swalwell was being victimized because he's just that good. "When you are in first place, is when they target you," Gallego said on X. "Eric is a fighter and he will win the Governors [sic] race." That was just one week ago.
Now Gallego says he never knew his own roommate, a man the Arizona Mirror—a Democrat-funded fake news rag—described as "one of Gallego's closest friends in Congress."
