Disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is now insisting that Democrats’ devastating election loss happened because the left is “too nice and too modest.”
Apparently, Swalwell believes that screeching that anyone who disagrees with you is a Nazi, bigot, racist, sexist, or garbage is “too nice and too modest.”
The shockingly obtuse comments came during an appearance on CNN as the left was in the middle of their nationwide meltdown over President-elect Donald Trump’s landslide victory with 312 electoral votes and more than 73.5 million total votes, compared to Vice President Kamala Harris’ 226 electoral votes and roughly 69.2 million total votes.
Donald Trump wins 312 Electoral Votes.
Hey Libs,
This is a landslide.
And it’s about to get much worse.
National Voter ID is coming.
Mass deportations of criminal aliens.
Along with new census maps greatly empowering red states.
The Obama Dynasty is officially over.

Democrats also lost control of the Senate and failed to regain control of the House, even if they win the small number of races that are still too close to call.
🔴Trump won the popular vote
🔴312 Electoral College votes likely
🔴GOP took the Senate (54+ seats)
🔴GOP on track to gain in the HouseWe defeated a $1+ BILLION campaign, Hollywood, Big Tech, Big Business.
And it wasn't even close.

Despite the Democrats spending years smearing Trump and his supporters with every vile name they could think of, Swalwell insisted that the reason Democrats lost the 2024 election was because they were “too nice.”
“Look, I was raised as a blue-collar kid, son of a cop, a mom who worked a number of odd jobs,” Swalwell said. “My brothers are cops. I was a prosecutor. And I know that people resent when you talk to them like you’re trying to win a Harvard Law School moot court competition as opposed to just, you know, talking to somebody at a bar or at the bus stop.”
“And I think we would be better served if we led with our personality rather than policy and our personalities can reflect our values, our principles, what we care about,” he added. “But too often, we’re just not plain-spoken enough.”
“And frankly, we’re too nice and too modest and we stand on virtue,” Swalwell claimed. “And I think you look at a candidate like Ruben Gallego who won in Arizona. Look, that guy went to rodeos. He went to soccer matches. He went to boxing matches. He went out to the tribes. He was himself. He was just Ruben and it worked and he beat Kari Lake in a state that Donald Trump won. And I think that’s a good model of how we can win.”
Unbelievable.
Eric Swalwell says Democrats lost because Americans are stupid, mean, and have no morals.
