Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) claimed during an interview this week that Democrats did not perform well during the election because they were “too nice and too modest.”
Swalwell’s remarks on CNN come after his party called President-elect Donald Trump a Nazi and a fascist in the weeks leading up to the election. President Joe Biden also referred to tens of millions of Trump supporters as “garbage.”
“Look, I was raised as a blue-collar kid, son of a cop, a mom who worked a number of odd jobs,” he 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 continued. “But too often, we’re just not plain-spoken enough.”

“And frankly, we’re too nice and too modest and we stand on virtue,” he 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.
