The left's latest obsession with Project 2025 resulted in a hilarious back-and-forth between Ben Shapiro and Rep. Eric Swalwell.
During a House impeachment hearing on media collusion, Swalwell decided to ask Shapiro about the Democrats' latest boogeyman, Project 2025.
“Thank you for joining us today, I think it is important that you are here as one of the leading conservative voices in the country,” the MP began. “And the country, in recent weeks, has been talking a lot about Project Google 2015. It's one of the most searched terms on Google right now. And, hey, you're not going to get any censure from me, so I just wanted to know from your perspective, I think it would help us understand, on a scale of 0 to 100 percent, how much do you support Project 2025?”
Right at: @RepSwalwell is absolutely shattered by “Leading Conservative Voice”(). @BenShapiro.

Shapiro responded by dropping the mic on Swalwell.
“I think, like President Trump, I haven't looked that deeply into Project 2025, but it seems like the Democrats on this committee are like Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, if they say enough about Project 2025, their presidential candidate comes back to life.” , he said. he joked, prompting laughter from those in the audience.
“Well, let's just talk about bits and pieces and you can tell me if you support it,” Swalwell insisted. “You probably want less bureaucracy, right?”
“Yes,” Shapiro confirmed.
“I want less red tape,” Swalwell agreed. “Want more efficiency?”
“I do,” Shapiro said.
“I want more efficiency. Do you want taxpayers' money to be spent wisely?”
“I do, congratulations on being a Republican,” the columnist said.
Another humorous clip from the hearing featured Swalwell quoting Shapiro, with the author confirming that he does, in fact, agree with himself.

Swalwell was owned by Shapiro, although it's not a difficult feat to own Swalwell.

Did Swalwell honestly think he would “get” Ben Shapiro?
He was absolutely devastated.

Eric “Fartman” Swalwell: “I want less efficiency.”
Freudian slip there.

Swalwell was out of his league, but that's the case with everyone. Project 25 is the new 'Russia, Russia, Russia' or 'There are good people on both sides'.

Repeat the lie enough and people will believe it has always been the Democratic campaign strategy
