## Resource

Trey criticizes the culture of fame that he says enabled former California Congressman Eric Swalwell’s (D) alleged misconduct, shining a light on the bipartisan hypocrisy protecting powerful figures in D.C. He analyzes how political leaders and the media often prioritize television appearances over legislative substance, creating a "facade of influence." Trey also calls out members of his own party for applying a double standard to Republican figures accused of similar misconduct, arguing that true justice is blind to political affiliation.
