U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., may be best known for sleeping with a Chinese spy, if not for apparently breaking wind rather loudly during a live television interview, but the Democrat is also developing a reputation of making a fool out of himself on social medial.
Addicted to attention, Swalwell cannot leave well enough alone as was seen over the weekend when he tried to shame former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka while running interference to U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill.
Gorka shared a meme that had Kinzinger’s head superimposed on it — one might argue that the Republican lawmaker’s only intrinsic value is his hatred of Donald Trump — and Swalwell replied: “Maybe keep your child porn fantasies to yourself? @AdamKinzinger, should this guy have his medical license revoked? *Checks notes* Oh, he’s not actually a doctor. Got it.”

Of course, Swalwell wasn’t the only one to come after Gorka, yet the one thing that appears to be certain here is that Gorka is getting a good laugh from the “triggered” left…

But back to Swalwell’s reply, social media users felt like it reflected more on the Democrat than it did Gorka, especially since the original meme depicted a grown man instead of a minor:

Here’s a sampling of some other responses that didn’t go well for the spy-shagging Democrat:
What is wrong with you? Seriously is this where your brain goes when you see this? You have some serious issues

That is a pretty jacked up place for your brain to go, dude. Geez.

You’re a comprised Chinese asset, you should resign from Congress immediately.

If that’s where you went with this pic maybe you should seek help, or at minimum be put on a list in your community

That’s a weird place to go with this, @RepSwalwell.
You see a depiction of a fully clothed girl and you think child porn fantasy?
