U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Adam Kinzinger share more than just a hatred of President Donald J. Trump. Turns out, both are egomaniacs who’ve never seen a camera they didn’t immediately fall in love with.
On that note, they each have posted videos this week hawking left-wing swag — technically, Kinzinger still claims to be a Republican, but that’s in name only.
Swalwell, infamous for falling for a Beijing honey trap named Fang Fang, posted a video sporting a hat and t-shirt promoting the left’s “No Kings” rally on October 18th.
This is happening as the federal government remains shut down, as Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) pointed out.
“Democrats are keeping the government shut down so they can grandstand at their ‘No Kings’ rally on October 18th. Eric Swalwell’s hawking merch while our troops worry about getting paid. Disgraceful,” Banks posted on X.

@RepSwalwell – you’re so dumb that you don’t realize how ridiculous your No Kings merch is. Trump hasn’t done a single thing to warrant beong called a king or tyrant. Your party on the other hand is holding the government hostage over spending taxpayer dollars on healthcare for…
