U ponedjeljak navečer dogodilo se nešto nevjerojatno. I to nisu bile vaše uobičajene političke vijesti. Tijekom intervjua uživo s MSNBC-vim Chrisom Matthewsom, čini se kako je demokratski zastupnik iz Kalifornije Eric Swalwell ispustio gromoglasni prdež.
I knew @ericswalwell was full of hot gas…I mean air. pic.twitter.com/Yh792wwJdC

Novinarka BuzzFeed News-a Addy Baird poslala je poruku kongresmenu da potvrdi ili zaniječe je li on zapravo ispustio plin. Naravno, Swalwell je rekao da on nije to učinio.

Good to see a member of Congress just speaking the truth without partisan spin: pic.twitter.com/eSnRbnt92G

No, ljudi su bili odlučni saznati što se doista dogodilo.
THREAD: I hate to let the air out of these #fartgate theories, but the inimitable laws of physics clearly point to Chris as the culprit. For one, Swalwell’s mic wouldn’t likely have picked it up in the noisy liveshot location…

Second, the fart conveniently manifests when it goes to a one-shot, where Chris is off camera to let it rip without anyone seeing…

Finally, it was likely acoustically amplified after bouncing off the back of Matthews’ chair…

Unless you’re telling me that thing bounced through the echoey Capitol building, into Swalwell’s lav mic, through control to the main audio, then that is one magic fart. There is also, of course, the possibility that there was a second farter. #fartgate #fin

I to toliko da su napravljeni gifovi u svrhu usporavanja trenutka ispuštanja flatusa.
I’ve isolated and slowed the moment of the fart. You can clearly see Swalwell brace forward, tense up for a moment, and then relax. He dealt it. pic.twitter.com/Nzo93RoNfR

Donald Trump Jr. uzeo je na nišan Swalwella, rekavši da je prdež bio “najrazumljivija stvar koja je došla iz Swalwella posljednjih godina.” Potom je taj trenutak nazvao Fartgate (koji je sad postao hashtag na Twitteru).
Most intelligible thing to come out of Swalwell in years. #fartgate https://t.co/LT7MXAkIRB

Ben Shapiro je, s druge strane, objavio hrpu dosjetki:

This is how liberty dies. With thunderous farts. #fartgate

Swallwell is the whistleblower #fartgate

Trump is going to tweet about Eric Fartwell and win all 50 states #fartgate
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) November 19, 2019
He should relaunch his campaign tonight. Only Eric Swalwell’s farts can bring Americans together in this time of polarization. #fartgate
