FangFang’s boyfriend, Eric Swalwell, took the opportunity of the tragic news that former Rep. Ben Sasse was dying from a terrible cancer to score political points. Swalwell truly is a despicable man. Ensconced in his comment is the suggestion that Sasse might have lived but for Republican cuts.
The truth is that all Democrats do is throw taxpayer dollars at their favorite people without oversight.
“How can someone so good like Ben Sasse be stricken with something so bad like pancreatic cancer? Life’s unfair. Terribly so,” Swalwell said in a statement on X. “But that’s why we can’t allow the proposed 40% cut to cancer funding.”
“2 out of 5 of us will be told one day, ‘I’m sorry. You have cancer.’ Let’s make that not a death sentence, but a chance to live decades more.”
Ugh! Ugh!
He’s such a miserable piece of work.
Classy, Representative Swalwell. Turning someone else's terminal cancer announcement into a chance to score points against Trump, and to angle for taxpayer-funded grants for pharmaceutical donors already posting record profits. Just stop.

I don’t know where Democrats dig up scum like Swallowell and Adam Schitt, but having had my septic tank pumped recently, I was shocked to find no Democrats hiding amongst what was pumped out and hauled off.
