Rep. Eric Swalwell the latest blue-state Democrat spotted maskless in mandate-free Florida

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who claimed last week that Republicans had “prolonged” the COVID-19 pandemic, was photographed maskless as he vacationed with his family in mandate-free Florida. California is one of the most locked-down states in the nation.

The photos, published exclusively by the Daily Mail, show a maskless Swalwell tending to his infant son as he spoke with a female friend in the lobby of the luxurious Loews Miami Beach Hotel.

In a tweet last week, Swalwell blasted Republicans and claimed they “prolonged” the “deadly pandemic” which led to school closures and family vacations being canceled.

“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. Your kids back to virtual learning. And back to masks everywhere. For blame look no farther than #TheseGuys.”

Swalwell – who sported a polo, shorts, and boat shoes in the Florida photographs – is not the only Democrat in Congress who traveled to Florida where he could escape from measures and mandates implemented by Democrat state leaders across the country amid the spread of the omicron variant. – READ MORE
