Add Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is the latest entrant in the “Democrats who’ve fled their hellhole cities/states to party in the free state of Florida” list.
California extends its indoor masking requirements once again from Jan. 15 to February 15.
However, a Swalwell, a man without a mask, was seen in the lobby at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel with his son and talking to a woman friend.
Eric Swalwell, the latest lockdown Democrat to be captured vacationing in Florida’s free state is welp.

This was after Swalwell blamed Republicans for prolonging the pandemic — with no evidence.
“As we end 2021, mired in a deadly pandemic, you should know who has prolonged it,” Swalwell wrote. “THESE GUYS. Republican liars. Your vacation cancelled. Virtual learning is back in the hands of your kids. Back to wearing masks. For blame look no farther than #TheseGuys.”
Yet, it’s not the Republicans. It’s the Democrats pushing restrictions that are job-killing, vacation killing, and in-person learning killing. And while people in California face restrictions, Swalwell didn’t cancel his trip to Florida.
As Christine Pushaw, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ spokesperson noted, it’s a hierarchy – meaning “rules for thee but not for me.”
Swalwell, if he believed the rhetoric about Florida and COVID, would have refused to take his baby, who was unvaccinated, to Loews Hotel South Beach during Omicron’s case surge.

Swalwell is the latest Florida politician arrested. Democrats had previously criticized Florida for being a COVID deathtrap. When he brings his baby to Florida, you can see how strongly he believes this.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic-NY Representative was also present. She partied it up in full mask among a packed crowd at drag brunch.
DeSantis ridiculed this trend Monday.
DESANTIS ON THE AOC: I would be pretty rich if I could have a dollar to pay for each lockdown politician that has escaped to Florida in the past two years.

“If I had a dollar for every lockdown politician who decided to escape to Florida over the last two years, I’d be a pretty doggone wealthy man, let me tell you. I mean, Congresspeople, mayors, governors, I mean you name it.”
“It’s interesting the reception that some of these folks will get in Florida,” the governor continued, “because I think a lot of Floridians say ‘Wait a minute you’re bashing us because we’re not doing your draconian policies, and yet we’re the first place you want to flee to, to basically to be able to enjoy life.’”
Swalwell tried deflecting, point to his coffee. There was not a mask because Florida is an open state.
They took me! You can be maskless while juggling a baby, coffee, and meeting with a Congolese Queen. Pulitzer, please! https://t.co/ai3RmuGM4q
— Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) January 5, 2022
Should we ask what he’s doing with a Congolese queen? Evidently, the virus must be warded off by either her or the coffee.
He handled it much better than AOC and did not accuse anybody of wanting to be with him.
But it’s clear that whatever Democrats are saying about DeSantis and Florida, their actions speak louder than their words — and that those actions are effectively an endorsement of DeSantis.
