California Rep. Eric Swalwell has responded with bemusement to comments Texas Senator Ted Cruz recently made about whether Swalwell is well-hung or not.
Cruz was talking to Conservative commentator and podcaster Benny Johnson on the latter’s ‘In The Arena’ show. The two men rode around Washington DC in a limo and talked about how “wokeness” has apparently destroyed the city.
At one point, the conversation strayed toward Swalwell, a Democratic lawmaker and LGBTQ+ ally. Cruz and Johns discussed “tuck-friendly swimsuits” being sold as part of Pride collections at Target (at around the 30.30 minute mark)
Tuck-friendly underwear and swimsuits allow people, such as trans women or drag queens, to more easily hide prominent genitalia if they wish to do so.
Johnson goes on to ask Cruz, “Do you think that Eric Swalwell wears a tuck-friendly swimsuit?”
Cruz replies, “He may be wearing one right now.. to be fair in order to have a tuck-friendly swimsuit, you have to have something to tuck.”
“Do you think that Eric Swalwell wears a tuck-friendly swimsuit?”@TedCruz: “He may be wearing one right now.. to be fair in order to have a tuck friendly swimsuit, you have to have something to tuck” 🤣
Johnson laughs and Cruz says, “You’re going to get me into trouble for that! I’m just making an observation about anatomy. Let me be clear, I’m not a biologist so how can I know?”
Johnson also attempts to cracks jokes about Swalwell formerly being linked to a suspected Chinese spy who targeted politicians in the United States.
Swalwell responds
Swalwell reacted to the exchange yesterday. He posted a screenshot of Johnson’s tweet and said, “Nothing to see here. Just 2 anti-gay Republicans riding around on a Friday night in a prom limo talking about my…”

Cruz has spoken out several times in the past on LGBTQ+ issues. This included voicing a personal opposition to same-sex marriage in 2013 and speaking out against a Dallas mayor participating in Pride Marches.
More recently, in 2021 Cruz led GOP opposition to passing the Equality Act. He argues that barring discrimination against LGBTQ+ people was “none of the government’s business.”

Another report by Queerty of an anti-LGBTQ+ community utterance from Ted Cruz, another opportunity to post the following:
I do not like that Senator Cruz
I do not like his far right views
I do not like his stupid chin
I do not like his smarmy grin
I do not like him with a beard
I do not like him freshly sheared
I do not like what he just said
I do not like his boxy head
I do not like him wearing glasses
I do not like him greeting kids in classes
I do not like his stupid suits
I do not like his cowboy boots
I do not like him when he sneezes
I do not like him eating cheeses
I do not like him in the leaves
I do not like him when he feeds
I do not like him by a wall
I do not like his tattoo at all
I do not like him in a room
I do not like him in Cancun
I do not like him playing ball
I do not like his face at all
From John Oliver
Phony Ted’s got more than a screw loose. He can spend the rest of his life and career on the couch back in Texas getting well, and allowing a far less wacko politician, military vet and Democrat Colin Allred, to serve the people of Texas and the US in the US Senate.
Has anyone ever listened to Ted Cruz talk…he certainly doesn’t have the basso profundo voice or BDE of someone who’s packing. Perhaps HE’s wearing something that pushes his marbles up reeeeeaaally high. Cruz resembles someone more like Divine, anyways. I’d take clever, handsome Swalwell over traitorous, jealous Cruz any day.
Ted Phony Cruz supported an insurrection on January 6, 2023. Even though he and fellow phony Josh Hawley ran for their lives from their fascist buddies, they still attempted to derail a legitimate transfer of power, in which Don the Con lost by 7 million votes, to Joe Biden. Ted Phony Cruz is both traitorous and probably very jealous of Eric Swalwell!
Insurrection, my a s s. More like Fedsurrection. He didn’t support an “insurrection,” because there was no insurrection. Stop with the gaslighting and MSDNC talking points. Even Nancy Pelosi’s daughter is on tape acknowledging there was no insurrection. (By the way, why was Nancy’s daughter and son-in-law there filming that day?)
Not even your fellow Democrats are buying an insurrection especially now that more surveillance footage is finally being released. It is becoming quite clear what happened that day.
New Rasmussen Poll:
“How likely is it that undercover government agents helped provoke the Capitol riot?”
DEM: 59%
IND: 62%
GOP: 74%
All voters: 65%
Keep on preaching to the choir, cause nobody is buying what you are selling.
65% of the American public now suspect the Feds provoked the January 6th “insurrection.”
Baronin, Rassmussen is a well-known conservative polling outfit! If you believe that 59% of Democrats believe that Drumpf’s attempt to overthrow the 2020 election was a “Fedsurrection” (do you and FauxNews and Breitbart get off on these nonsensical neologisms?), you are further gone than we all thought. Well, you are, but you just prove it nearly every time you post on here (the positive comment on the nuptials notwithstanding).
Conservative or not, Rasmussen was the only major polling firm that got the 2016 election correct.
The tide has turned. People, including Democrats, can see the “insurrection” for what it is. IT’S ON VIDEO. I know you would rather believe Rachel Maddow than see history unfold for yourself. Fortunately, you have become the minority and people no longer trust the mainstream media and can make their own decisions by what they are witnessing for themselves.
Also, sorry to burst your partisan bubble, Rasmussen is not the only one polling with these kinds of numbers. The numbers will only increase as more footage, that Democrats didn’t want us to see, is released.
Now I know without a doubt that Baron Wiseman (what a misnomer) worships the Orange Taint. Nothing he says is of any value. Wish Queerty had an “ignore” feature in the comments.
The feminist movement has struggled for years to ban disrespectful references to sex, body parts and appearance from the public discourse. But it has largely been men – regardless of their sexual persuasion – who have flouted that undertaking.
We have no one but ourselves to thank for the glut of vulgar, degrading public rhetoric and its toxic effect on our society.
If one believes the whacky trolls here, one would expect that none of us believes in tucking we only want to cut off everybody’s Willy. Don’t believe the right wing trolls who post here.
Unlike Ted Cruz, Swallwell’s not a traitor who tried to overthrow a legal and fair election. Unlike Ted Cruz, Swallwell didn’t support a terrible person who insulted his wife’s looks and called his father a killer.
Yeah, some politicians are just full of it while they’re flying to Cancun during a crisis in their home state.
Not sure if Congressman Swallwell tucks, and don’t really care, but he WAS born in Sac City, Iowa,and, moved to Dublin, California as a child: faith and begorrah! He’s the kind of open-minded, clean-cut, corn-fed cutie-pie I’d be proud to bring home, to meet mom!
Many are severely inadequate and insecure. Look at Don the Con, though he can’t help it. As Stormy Daniels told the world, he has a micropen!s with a mushroom head. All that height and weight and so, so little to show for it!
Did you listen to the podcast? It was a joke. Remember those?
Cruz was plugging his new unwoke book and got on the topic of the Target boycott. What set off the boycott was the “tuck friendly” bathing suits for little boys; the satanic stuff came later. The host, not Cruz, made a joke about Swalwell tucking. There were also jokes (remember jokes?) about Swalwell and his Chinese spy Fang Fang.
Aw Baron, there’s a reason why there aren’t many republican comics. There sense of what’s funny, usually isn’t. BTW, how big is your junk? That was a joke.
Swalwell is not just your average politician. I mean, have you seen that combination of attractiveness and intelligence? It’s like he’s got a Ph.D. in making public service look good, and now I have to imagine the prominent size of the tuck panel he needs.

“Traitorous” Cruz!?! Eric Swalwell, not Ted Cruz, is the one who had an affair with a suspected Chinese intelligence operative.
How exactly is Ted Cruz “traitorous”?

Swalwell certainly did just that a few years ago. Unlike Ted Cruz, Eric Swalwell ripped an incredibly loud fart during a live television interview.
