Um, this actually explains quite, a lot.
It’s beside the point but I personally have no recollection of Eric Swalwell running for president https://t.co/FZcsyRN9IR

This person is a Georgetown graduate, a WaPo columnist, a fellow at some think tank and an Author of a book titled 'The Case for American Power'. Yet, he doesn't know Eric Swalwell run for President in 2020? That seems like an issue.
WaPo columnist doesn’t even read the WaPo. Nice. pic.twitter.com/SqT8xZF5GY

To be fair, it's a rag.
Yeah it was only covered in smaller periodicals so it was easy to miss. pic.twitter.com/msd9UGjKkn

Neither is very encouraging.
Getting ratio’d into oblivion as you should.

Do any of you “journalists” ever feel shame for spending 4 years in college just to learn how to be a Democrat lapdog?
It doesn't seem so.
You know, you don't really have to announce to the world over the interwebz that you're actually retarded... yet here we are.

Wasn't it Abraham Lincoln or Mark Twain who said 'better to stay quiet and have people think you a fool then open your mouth and prove it'? Shadi just proved it.

Good to know that WaPo reporters are really up on their recent political history.

Dude gave the Avenegers speech and everything. How embarrassing for you.

To be fair, the only time Swalwell is memorable is when he is passing gas on Live TV, but still, a journalist who writes about politics should know this stuff.
Have any recollection of him getting a pass for banging a commie spy because trump?

Maybe Shadi should google 'Fang Fang'.
You should probably try being a journalist once in a while.

You have NO RECOLLECTION of Eric Swalwell running for president? 🤔
Well, you're a columnist for @washingtonpost after all, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. 🤷🏻♂️ https://t.co/fnEZZ0yQ2X
Le sigh.
More evidence that for reporters history began when Trump entered office in January of last year. https://t.co/URPDYHWVw3
