Now, weirdly enough, we can add that time he was photographed on a camel, shirtless, during an ethically questionable luxury trip to Qatar sponsored by a private interest group to the list of public moments that look really, really bad for Swalwell.
While Eric Swalwell was scolding people for not following COVID rules he was taking special-interest funded trips to Qatar where he was maskless riding camels.
As unpleasant as it is that we all now have a visual image of a shirtless Swalwell on a camel, where the funds came from to pay for the excursion is what's really scandalous here.
Now, if the Qatari trade group did not pay for the camel ride, it's still rather pertinent to know if perhaps the American taxpayers paid for the camel ride or any accommodations to enable the Swalwell-Gallego crew to take said excursion, such as an official security detail.
Neither the congressmen's offices nor the U.S.-Qatar Business Council has responded to requests for comment from Business Insider to clarify any of these important details about Swalwell and his shirtless camel ride.
It must be noted that Swalwell also never responded to any requests from Business Insider to clarify whether he had had a sexual relationship with alleged spy Christine Fang, and his office declined to participate in the Axios story that originally revealed his connection with the political operative who embedded herself in American politics between 2012 and 2015.
Granted, the FBI did not believe that Fang managed to obtain any vital intelligence during her time moseying around small-time politicians when it contacted Swalwell about her suspected espionage, and it's also unlikely that Swalwell was reviewing sensitive Intelligence Committee material while he was hamming it up for Instagram on a camel.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
