Swalwells BFF Ruben Gallego Absolutely Torches

As RedState’s Sister Toldjah reported Monday, all eyes now “turn to Swalwell’s Bestie, Sen. Ruben Gallego” following the lightning-quick, brutal demise of former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (CA-14) profession following allegations of intercourse crimes. 

What did the Arizona Democrat senator and close pal of Swalwell know, and when did he comprehend it?

We received some solutions Tuesday as Gallego confronted reporters, but his explanations will depart a complete lot of observers unhappy. He principally said he had no thought, was fully lied to and fooled, and although he heard a rumor or two, he’s definitely shocked to discover out that shenanigans had been occurring, shocked!

He confronted the music for over half an hour:

Gallego: “There’s a lot of rumors going on about me and my family”

“Eric Swalwell lied to all of us. He lied to the most powerful people in the country”

‘Just Asking Questions’: All Eyes Turn to Swalwell’s Bestie, Sen. Ruben Gallego, As Scrutiny Intensifies

He regarded a little jumpy as he explained that Swalwell was apparently dwelling “a double life” and had repeatedly “lied” to him.

REPORTER: What had been the rumors that you heard?

GALLEGO: Yeah, it was flirty. That it was flirty.

REPORTER: And that was when, about what 12 months was it?

GALLEGO: I imply that was through… We’ve heard that. We’ve heard that throughout.

Wait a minute… If you’ve heard that throughout, why didn’t that raise flags for you?

A feminine reporter pressed him on that, asking if he’d ever talked to Swalwell about the chatter.

GALLEGO: So I heard rumors of him being flirty.

REPORTER: And that wasn’t an issue enough for you to not trust him to watch your children or be close with him?

GALLEGO: Because, you understand, you hear this, and then when you are close to anyone and you, you understand, you understand his spouse, you see this. 

You see that relationship, you understand that, like, it possibly just is not true. 

If somebody is hanging with my children, and there are rumors on the market, I let you know what I don’t assume: “It maybe just isn’t true.” I sure as hell make an effort to discover out.

Despite his obvious outrage, Gallego received a little evasive when requested about his potential cooperation in any probes:

Gallego said he would release “any and all information” (messages with Swalwell, and so forth) *if* he’s legally required to

I requested Gallego why he gained’t just release it all now:

If Gallego thought talking to the press would make this all go away for him, I believe he could also be in for a impolite awakening. Many will discover it laborious to imagine that he didn’t have the slightest clue about Swalwell’s exploits — and those who do imagine explanations will probably be left to query, how might you not know?
