Run AWAAAAY! Eric Swalwell accidentally nukes himself in hilarious back and forth with The Blaze's Chad Prather

The Blaze’s Chad Prather zinged Eric Swalwell with a tweet about jogging since when Eric originally announced he was running for president he did a little ‘teaser’ of himself jogging up to the camera.

We even covered his cringeworthy announcement.

Yeah, some days it’s hard being a Twitchy editor.

Hey @ericswalwell….you’ve already nuked your campaign. Can you jog back to Colbert and announce you’re quitting?

Makes sense. He jogged into the race so he should probably jog out of it.

Eric responded.

I don’t jog. But if you want to race me in a 5k for charity, I’ll do it. $10,000. If I win, you donate to @MomsDemand. If I lose, you pick where we send the check. https://t.co/RBcEC5Bvii

He doesn’t jog?

Wait, what?

But we’ve seen proof … and c’mon already, Eric, @MomsDemand just isn’t into you. Move on.

You don’t? https://t.co/1U0nD0RbDf

Clearly, he does jog.

Or he wanted people to think he does.

Eric couldn’t just leave well enough alone.

So you’re too afraid to race me? Got it. ✅ Moving on.

Umm … what? This was Chad correcting Eric because he does jog.

We get that the Eddie Haskell looking Democratic candidate really wanted to save face here but wow.

I wouldn’t be looking to join other races. You lose them. Moving on.

Is this another example of how you own the trolls? Admit where you stand in this joke of a campaign.
