The House is in recess now, but that hasn't stopped silly Democrats like Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) from lame attacks on Republicans and President Donald Trump. It's all they know how to do since, as former Democratic operative Dan Turrentine noted, they don't have any agenda.
He posted videos doing things like swimming in a pool or lifting weights saying that he should be working and lowering costs for people. He claimed the normal recess is about the Epstein files. It's a dumb argument. But, then, that's Swalwell.
The funny thing is he had a chance to "lower costs" for the American people, but he voted against the "One Big Beautiful Bill" that helped preserve tax cuts for Americans. Instead, he's doing things like this video.

Eric Swalwell Gets Dragged Into Oblivion After Posting Videos of Himself Bench Pressing 135
Swalwell was roundly mocked on X. Fox's Greg Gutfeld had a little fun with him, as our sister site Twitchy reported. Gutfeld said Swalwell's videos gave "the ick."
That mocking upset Swalwell, who then decided to embarrass himself more.
Here’s a deal for @Gutfeldfox. (Never heard of him til he spent 8 mins criticizing what I bench press)
*The deal: if tough guy benches more than me for 10 reps I’ll leave Congress. If not, he leaves Fox News. I’ll give Greg 48 hrs to accept, then I’m calling him GUTLESSfeld
That's a member of Congress? That sounds like a desperate 12-year-old who was bested in a schoolyard fight and is throwing a tantrum in response.
He claims he never heard of Gutfeld? Who believes that? He thinks it's a shot, but it just makes him look silly to say something like that. Gutfeld is the top late-night comedian whose "Gutfeld!", in the ratings, regularly comes out on top of the guys that the Democrats defend.
Meanwhile, the approval of Congressional Democrats sits at 19 percent.
The Democratic Party is at record lows in favorability. It's not a battle Swalwell wants to take on.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) offered to take Swalwell up on his offer.
Not only is Gutfeld more successful at his job and on the issues, where it counts, but Swalwell isn't aware of Gutfeld's physical history. While Gutfeld is older than Swalwell, he used to lift. He has a bodybuilding history.
I have no doubt Gutfeld would have creamed Swalwell at the same age, and maybe he would now as well. Swalwell may not want Gutfeld to take up that bet.
