Eric Swalwell, a U.S. Congressman representing California’s 14th district since 2013, recently expressed concerns on social media regarding anti-Semitic violence and political accountability. Born in Sac City, Iowa, in 1980, Swalwell has been an influential figure in Congress and currently resides in Livermore.
On May 22, 2025, Swalwell shared his distress over the recent murder of two Israel Embassy employees. In a tweet posted at 03:43:19 UTC, he stated: “My constituents and I are saddened and horrified by the murder of two Israel Embassy employees. As a senior member of the Homeland Security Committee I will seek to learn as much as possible and do all possible to protect Jewish-Americans and diplomats.” This statement underscores his commitment to addressing security issues concerning Jewish-Americans and diplomatic staff.
Later that day at 16:34:54 UTC, Swalwell directed a question toward supporters of former President Trump with the message: “Paging MAGA: Do you remember when you were promised the Epstein files?” This inquiry reflects ongoing discussions around transparency and unresolved issues related to Jeffrey Epstein.
In another post on May 22 at 19:22:29 UTC, Swalwell commented on the broader issue of anti-Semitism following the tragic event. He tweeted: “Two young diplomats were murdered last night because they were Jewish. Anti-Semitism has reached peak levels in America. The antidote is to educate every young American as early as possible and to increase security grant funding for Jewish organizations.” Through this message, he emphasized education and increased funding as essential measures against rising anti-Semitic sentiments.
Swalwell graduated from the University of Maryland with a BA in 2003 and later earned his JD from its Baltimore campus in 2006.
