Swalwell Posts Texts Appearing To Show Tucker Carlson Call Him 'Coward' for Not Returning Call On 7/24/21 at 12:25 AM EDT Swalwell shared the screenshot in a Twitter post published Friday night. "After years of lying about me and my family, @TuckerCarlson is losing his mind that I won't return his calls," Swalwell wrote. "Sorry, Tucker, I'm just not that into you. Who knows what lie he'll tell next? #TuckerTantrum". The alleged text exchange begins with the message, "Eric, it's Tucker Carlson. Please give me a call on this number." Swalwell responds, "Tucker, I'm hesitant to do that. You falsely smeared my wife on Tuesday and she's getting death threats. That's way out of bounds. She's a pregnant mom of a 4 year old and a 2 year old. Hit me all you like. But to go after her. That's just wrong."
