Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell, running for California governor, faces buzz over an allegedly erotic poem he wrote at age 19. The piece, titled 'Hungover From Burgundy,' describes a passionate encounter and has been circulating widely. His campaign team brushed it off with humor.
Oh honey, the tea is piping hot on Congressman Eric Swalwell! 😏 This 45-year-old Democrat from California, who's eyeing the governor's seat to succeed Gavin Newsom, is suddenly in the spotlight for some steamy college scribbles. Back when he was a fresh-faced 19-year-old at Campbell University, Swalwell apparently penned 'Hungover From Burgundy' for the school's literary magazine, The Lyricist, according to the Daily Mail. And let me tell you, it's not your average haiku—it's a whirlwind of passion, bites, and a dash of blood that has everyone side-eyeing. 👀 The poem paints a wild night: 'And there beauty was Formless and magnificent— A flurry of limbs and nails. She chased and I ran, I chased and She ran.' It escalates with a hotel-top rendezvous where she bites his arm, leaving a 'beautiful' scar, and they kiss 'till veins imploded and exploded, Till blood rolled down our chins.' Morning after? Not so glamorous: 'I awoke beside beauty’s shadow— Her form sloppy and her legs pale. My scar lost, My lips cracked and dry. And we groaned simultaneously.' Kinky much? Swalwell's camp isn't sweating it, though. His spokesperson spilled to TMZ: 'If you think Eric’s poetry at 19 was bad, you should see his diary when he was 12.' 😂 Classic deflection! The full text has been making rounds online, but remember, this is all allegedly from his youthful days—no one's confirming it's Shakespeare-level genius. Is this the messiest campaign fodder yet, or just a fun blast from the past? Spill your thoughts!
