Once again Eric Swalwell claims he received a death threat and once again he put it on Twitter instead of going to the authorities. This time however, there’s a twist: the alleged assassin isn’t a fake MAGA dude with a faker Southern accent, it’s a gay guy with assault weapons.
Here’s the latest desperate cry for attention from a guy who thinks we’re as dumb as he is:
A staffer of mine—who’s 1 month into her job—received a call from a man saying he’s coming to our office w/ an assault rifle to kill me. I hesitate to share this but how else do I tell you we are in violent times, & the architects are Trump & McCarthy. Bloodshed is coming.

His staffer got the call at 11:30am and he posted it to Twitter before noon. Yeah, he’s totally hesitant to share this.
In previous fake death threats, Swalwell or one of his staffers pretended to be a Trump-supporting Southerner. This time around, despite claiming he had it on tape, he only released a summary. I guess whoever was doing the fake redneck voice wasn’t up to doing an angry gay man.

How much do you want to bet that redacted name is “Eric”?
This is a gay guy saying he wants to come down and f*ck Eric Swalwell. He shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss this as a death threat. It could be a pick-up line. Hey, it could be a Chinese spy who heard how easy it is to get Swalwell in bed.
There’s much about this that points to yet another fake death threat and the first is that Swalwell is assuming that an angry gay man is automatically a Trump-loving Republican. I’m not trying to say there are no such thing as gay Republicans, but certainly not any that would rant about gay issues as this summary claims. No seriously, Swalwell gets threatened by a gay dude (not really) and the first thing he thinks is: blame Trump.
Also, this caller, who claims to be gay, used the “F slur” which I’m assuming is “f*ggot.” This makes the story even harder to believe. Swalwell should have spent a little more time cooking this fantasy tale up.
Nobody who actually owns an AR-15 would say “I’m going to kill you with an assault rifle.” Someone who wants to ban the AR-15 would however make up a story about someone threatening to kill him with an assault rifle.
Plus, any legitimate psychopath wouldn’t say: “I’m bringing AR-15 assault rifles down to your office to kill you.” It would be more like, “I’m gonna light you up” or “I’m going to empty a couple of magazines in your ass.”
But most of all this is fake because Swalwell has the person’s name, phone number, and a recording of an alleged death threat but instead of going to the authorities, he put it on Twitter to attack Donald Trump and the Republicans.
