Surprise! Eric Swalwell's Adultery Wingman, Rueben Gallego, Banged At Least Two House Aides

Noooooo.

Not the guy who handed his nine-months-pregnant wife divorce papers so he could bang his side-piece openly (while claiming it's a "new relationship").

I shan't believe it.

Take your filthy lies, NY Post, and hit the road, Jack!!!

Arizona Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, engaged in sexual relationships with at least two House staffers and his "very flirtatious" habits with others may come back to haunt him, The Post has learned.

The 46-year-old lawmaker admitted to the two relationships -- both with aides to Texas Democrats -- to one source while a second person said they had recently learned of the romantic entanglements.

A third source confirmed one of the dalliances, both of which are said to have been consensual and occurred during Gallego's decade representing Phoenix in the House.

The relationships are part of a broader "pattern of mistakes and missteps and judgment calls," one source said, noting the imbalanced power dynamics of an elected official dating staffers. One of the women was in her 20s and much younger than Gallego at the time.

"What else could there be out there?" this person asked.

Last month, the Senate Ethics Committee dismissed a complaint brought against Gallego by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) that alleged campaign finance violations and sexual misconduct against the Democrat, who was elected to the Senate in 2024.

The panel, chaired by Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), "didn't ask" about Gallego's relationships with the staffers -- likely because it was unaware -- and instead "focused squarely on what Luna presented to them," an insider said this week.

"Ethics looked in the wrong place," this person summed up the congressional probe.

It could also be that Lankford, who is a stone-cold liberal saboteur, deliberately went easy on Gallego because he doesn't want Senators being outed for secret sex.

When asked if The Post's reporting was accurate, Gallego again said, "I'm not going to engage in gossip."

Sources said it's believed both relationships occurred while Gallego was unmarried.

Uh-huh. You mean in between the pregnant wife he divorced and the side-piece he married later

...

"If the Ethics Committee comes back and says, 'We are opening an investigation,' question one [for Gallego] is: 'Did you ever have relationships with any staff member during your time in Congress?'" a source said.

"I wouldn't be surprised if there are more that he has to list, and he can't lie about that because, you know, it's a sworn [statement]."

A Democratic operative who has interacted with Gallego said she found news of the staffer relationships "not surprising."

"I have witnessed firsthand his very flirtatious nature after a couple of drinks," she said. "Maybe he thinks he's being charming? I don't know. Guy gives me the creeps. I've always steered clear."

Gallego married his second wife, Sydney, in June 2021. He filed for divorce from his first wife, Katie, 10 days before Christmas in 2016 when she was nine months pregnant.

In addition to the senator's personal life, Gallego faces another headache in the form of a Justice Department investigation into his alleged misuse of campaign funds to attend the Super Bowl in 2023 as well as to take vacations to St. Barts, Disney World and Disneyland. Gallego said the Trump DOJ was "targeting" him for political reasons.

The Post notes that Gallego -- hilariously -- thinks he can be president one day.

Of America, I mean. Not of Hooters, Inc.
