We Thought Eric Swalwell Had Achieved Peak Cringe. We Were Wrong.
Eric Swalwell, the Jar Jar Binks of American politics, has become one of social media's primary purveyors of cringe videos.
Usually, the California Congressman films himself exiting the Capitol while pretending to be surprised by a staffer posing as a random person and asking Swalwell an 'unexpected' question. He and the staffer often pepper in some swear words, presumably to boost their appeal with the common folks.
Congress's methane member outdid himself this week when he broke format and tried to copy an equally annoying social media trend.
Please, Mr. Swalwell, we're begging you … just stop!
The viral trend on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram consists of a mashup of the 1993 hit song What's Up? by 4 Non Blondes and Nicki Minaj's Beez In the Trap.
Two people stand back to back and take turns lip-syncing the parts.
