Leftist billionaire Stephen Cloobeck cut ties in dramatic fashion with U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell on Sunday, kicking him out of his palatial Beverly Hills mansion just hours before the Democrat congressman accused of sexual assault by numerous women quit his campaign for California governor.
“I am no longer supporting Eric,” Cloobeck told the New York Post. “F***ing tell everyone I’m a libertarian. F*** you, Democrat Party. I’m a libertarian now.”

As WorldNetDaily reported, amid an exploding sex scandal, Swalwell on Sunday night suspended his campaign for California governor.
“I am suspending my campaign for Governor,” Swalwell wrote on X. “To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.
“I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made – but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.”
The Post reports: “Cloobeck confirmed Swalwell was no longer staying with him and the billionaire’s alleged honeytrapper fiancée, who has been accused of burglarizing the homes of other rich, old men in Los Angeles.
“I have a lot of people who stay at my house,” Cloobeck said with a laugh. “I built a gorgeous place, my dream home, I relish it, and I’m a very generous man. I’m very thoughtful and I’m very kind.”
“He added that he would need to talk with his attorney to see if he can claw back the $1 million he gave an independent committee supporting Swalwell.”
“I don’t know where these facts are going to end up — you hear or read all this stuff,” Cloobeck said.
“I’m going to change my ***damn party affiliation, because I cannot stand this Democratic Party at all. I am done. Finito.”
