Everyone knows there are perks to being a member of Congress. Eating at the very best eating places, possibly getting tickets to a Broadway present, live performance, or to see your favourite group up shut (although that’s in opposition to ethics guidelines, wink wink.)
And everyone knows that Washington D.C. is filled with lobbyists, representing this group or that, simply ready to nook the member of Congress they assume will likely be sympathetic to their trigger or group.
There are strict guidelines that lobbyists and member of Congress should abide by, however when a part of the bundle contains camel rides, properly, most red-blooded all-American Congressmen are going to begin in search of the loopholes.
Far-left California Democrat and Russiagate fanatic Eric Swalwell isn’t any exception – and he was not too long ago noticed shirtless whereas driving a camel on a junket in Qatar.

Ripe For Funnies
The opposite factor that almost all of us know that the one factor that liberals often fail to do is to take a look at the long run image.
Proof of which might be all of the cities who yelled and screamed about “defund the police!” however a yr later are shocked to study that crime of their cities has skyrocketed.
Liberals additionally are usually a bit self-unaware. To place it bluntly, Swalwell, or as Fox Information Channel commentator Mark Steyn dubbed him, “Shagwell,” is a younger, common wanting man, and seems to be in fairly good condition.
However let’s face it, he’s no Vladimir Putin. He can’t simply stand up on a camel shirtless and anticipate that nobody will discover the humor on this.
So there he was. Shagwell and his congressional buds, arms stretched broad, shirtless, with a kind of “conquering colonialist” look about them.
And who was that harmless particular person of colour within the foreground being subjected to all of this?
Swalwell is definitely no stranger to political scandal.
In 2019, throughout an look on “Hardball” with Chris Matthews, Swalwell had an unlucky, let’s assume, gastrointestinal incident that might plainly be heard on his mic.
However just like the patriot he’s, Swalwell didn’t miss a beat – lobbing ridiculous claims at former President Donald Trump. “FartGate” was born.
Later, Matthews claimed it was a mug scraping throughout his desk. Riiiiigggghhhtt.
And extra not too long ago after all, there was, the gorgeous and unique Chinese language spy Fang Fang. Enterprise Insider reviews that U.S. Counter Intelligence officers believed that Christine Fang, as she was additionally identified, was a part of an operation to affect “up and coming” American politicians on behalf of China.
Fang was suspected of getting sexual relationships with no less than two midwestern mayors, and helped Swalwell fundraise.
Swalwell has by no means disclosed if he had a sexual relationship with Fang.
We will solely speculate as as to if or not Fang knew all the suitable issues to say and do to make sure that a pleasant American boy like Swalwell was mere putty in her fingers.
The true query is likely to be, would Fang have given up her profitable spy profession and the Chinese language Communist Social gathering in a nanosecond had she glimpsed Swalwell shirtless on a camel?
