Rep. Eric Swalwell may be many things, but he’s no actor. Need proof?

Rep. Eric Swalwell may be many things, but he’s no actor.

The Democrat’s latest thing is “having a staffer stand outside with a camera and pretend to catch him unaware to ask questions.” Naturally, he’s “surprised” by the question, but manages to have the perfect answer lined up without having to think about it.

Watch:

When he’s not calling for violence, Eric Swalwell’s latest thing is having a staffer stand outside with a camera and pretend to catch him unaware to ask questions.

Every time Swalwell pretends to be looking down or at his phone only to be surprised to find an aide there.

Matt Whitlock noticed the trend, and is calling for someone to catch this act on video as proof of Swalwell’s fakery.

I will buy a large steak for any staffer who can capture video of one of these being staged.

“Now I’m going to look at my phone… AH ITS YOU!”

Reminder that the House is just a summer camp for theater kids.

Congrats to @RepSwalwell for inventing new levels of cringe

X users rushed to the comments to mock the congressman:

My goodness…he is Michael Scott! Hahahaha

The more believable take would be him wandering around a park with a trench coat on, and then looking guilty when caught. THAT one I’d believe.
