It highlights humorous incidents involving politicians like Chuck Schumer and Eric Swalwell, including moments where they unintentionally caused on-camera gaffes, such as farting during public appearances. The article uses these incidents to suggest that such embarrassing moments might symbolize the decline of their political careers. It discusses Schumer&#8217;s recent political struggles, his viral moment on the Senate floor, and mentions AOC&#8217;s potential challenge to him in future elections. The piece blends satire with political observations, emphasizing the idea that public missteps-especially bodily functions caught on camera-could be indicative of larger career challenges for these politicians.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>If you know anything about movies, you know the line: \u201cEvery time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to propose a new, more cynical \u2014 if no less true \u2014 corollary for Congress: \u201cEvery time a fart rips on mic, a politician takes a hike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of Wednesday, former California representative and wannabe gubernatorial candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/eric-swalwell-man-quit-congress-part-due-improper-contact-staffers-snapchat-still-contacting-staffers-snapchat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eric Swalwell<\/a> is no longer the most famous Democrat to pass gas on cable television.<\/p>\n<p>The bad news, at least for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, is that come 2028, it\u2019s entirely plausible neither man will have employ in the field of elective politics.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer, the embattled head of the upper caucus Democrats, managed to go viral for all the wrong reasons during a debate over a $1.15 trillion Department of War policy bill earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>The material was actually serious: As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2026\/07\/14\/senate-dems-block-defense-bill-protest-iran-war-00997134\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a> noted, the bill failed on a 50-46 procedural vote, in what the publication described as \u201ca blow to Republicans who had sought to deliver on Trump\u2019s record-shattering defense budget ambitions \u2014 using a bill that is one of the few measures that reliably becomes law each year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schumer, who\u2019s made news for making all the wrong stands at all the wrong times for his party, now intends to die on the hill of holding the Pentagon\u2019s budget hostage to what goes on in Iran, with little roadmap to get both parties into comportment over the National Defense Authorization Act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NDAA cannot become a permission slip for that recklessness that we see occurring in Iran,\u201d Schumer said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump does not get to drag the American people deeper into a war he cannot explain and does not know how to end, and then demand Congress look the other way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s forget for a second that Schumer is old enough to remember when the Republicans knew better than to consider the NDAA \u201ca permission slip\u201d for the Obama administration\u2019s reckless adventurism in a far more morally murky cause \u2014 intervention in the Libyan Civil War.<\/p>\n<p>Just months after the Benghazi attack, the fiscal year 2013 NDAA passed the Senate 98-0. (Now-former Sens. Carl Levin of Michigan and John McCain of Arizona missed the vote, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/armscontrolcenter.org\/senate-approves-fy-2013-national-defense-authorization-act-by-vote-of-98-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arms Control Center<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump is dragging America deeper into a war in Iran with no authorization, no plan, and no exit strategy. Democrats will not go along,\u201d Schumer said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democrats.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/leader-schumer-statement-after-senate-democrats-refuse-to-normalize-trumps-unauthorized-costly-war-with-iran-and-vote-against-advancing-the-ndaa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump is expecting Congress to look the other way and ignore his illegal war, just days after he tore up his own ceasefire deal and dramatically escalated the fighting. We won\u2019t look away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s forget that, because it takes too long to unwind the idiot logic that undergirds it, at least for our purposes.

During a 2019 interview with Chris Matthews of what was then MSNBC, Swalwell became a meme:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Eric Swalwell appears to drop a massive fart during live on television<\/p>\n<p>Turn the sound on, this is real <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DyElNSwYog\">pic.twitter.com\/DyElNSwYog<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ryan Saavedra (@RyanSaavedra) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RyanSaavedra\/status\/1196593236392808448?\">November 19, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>For those of you who don\u2019t remember, this was when the then-39-year-old Swalwell was riding high. He had run a brief challenge for the 2020 Democratic nomination which didn\u2019t get past the debate stage, but he at least made a name for himself as a hero of the gun control and anti-Trump hashtag-resistance crowds.<\/p>\n<p>He was one of the Democrats\u2019 most omnipresent faces during the first set of impeachment hearings against Trump, as well \u2014 which was the capacity in which he was appearing on Matthews\u2019 show.<\/p>\n<p>And then that. It was downhill from there. In 2020, it was revealed that he had contact with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ted-cruz-absolutely-humiliates-eric-swalwell-dem-requests-bet-nfl-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chinese spy named Fang Fang<\/a> who used sexual wiles to infiltrate California politics. He refused to say that he hadn\u2019t slept with her, which was tantamount to admission of guilt. In 2023, he was stripped of his position on the House Intelligence Committee because of the indiscretion.<\/p>\n<p>This year, he attempted a run for governor of California, something that made him look \u2014 however briefly \u2014 like he was belatedly moving on up in the world of politics as he was prior to l\u2019affaire Fang Fang. Then numerous women accused him of sexual misconduct, including rape. He not only dropped out of the gubernatorial race, but out of Congress as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Hear it directly from me.

He is, however, proof that the on-air gas attack might indeed herald the beginning of the end of public life.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer has tried to lead the resistance to the second Trump administration from the Senate, largely unsuccessfully. His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/democratic-lawmakers-quietly-plotting-chuck-schumers-political-demise-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">party was unhappy<\/a> that he didn\u2019t shut down the government, then unhappy that they shut down the government for a record period of time and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mike-johnson-first-speak-jeffriess-record-breaking-filibuster-responds-perfect-reagan-quote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">got almost nothing from it<\/a>. Petulantly stamping his feet on the NDAA looks great now, but wait until he either caves or gets what he wants, yet gets it in the worst possible way.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/aoc-pits-directly-chuck-schumer-far-left-endorsement-crucial-senate-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">who happens to be more in line<\/a> with the Democrats\u2019 leftward cant in recent years, has been urged to primary Schumer in 2028, and leads in the polls. This, of course, is assuming she doesn\u2019t run for the presidency, which she could do. If she does opt for a run at the White House instead, the fact that she\u2019s up by double digits over Schumer in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/04\/04\/schumer-aoc-poll-primary-new-york-030621\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some polls<\/a> is proof that Chuck is vulnerable to almost any progressive challenger who wants his seat.<\/p>\n<p>And this isn\u2019t even counting the fact that, after 45 years in Congress, there\u2019s a good chance that if he gets stripped of his leadership \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/soros-comes-schumer-dem-leader-faces-end-career-soros-backed-org-marks-elimination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a decided possibility<\/a> \u2014 he doesn\u2019t even bother sticking around. Oh well. Unlike Schumer, I doubt either Republicans or the far left will make a stink if he does.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
