Eric Swalwell gets mocked (except by Tom Arnold) for copying Republican Christine O'Donnell's 'I AM you' failed campaign message

2020 presidential candidate wants everyone to know that “I AM you ” in his latest campaign video:

I am running for President of the United States of America.

I see you. I hear you. I'm for you. I AM you. pic.twitter.com/qRcrBvtdAD

Creepy AF, right?

I AM YOU is definitely the creepiest campaign slogan I have ever heard https://t.co/r5eGZGVX6O

Tom Arnold, however, liked it:

Not a Mark Burnett Production. This man is the real deal.

And if it sounded familiar, it should. It’s the same thing failed “I am not a witch, I’m you” Republican Christine O’Donnell said in her failed 2006 Senate run in Delaware:

I ***knew*** this sounded familiar pic.twitter.com/hCXulTr0PF

Watch that cringe-worthy video here:

I’m not a witch. I’m you. https://t.co/GqyYRm8ZqJ

It really doesn’t work for either of them:

You’re not me. Neither was Christine O’Donnell. I’m me. Just for the record. https://t.co/SjQKqZTh7w

Maybe he meant, “I will nuke you?”

He forgot one tagline "I will nuke you."

Pretty much:

You're an asshole and everyone hates you.
