US politician denies ripping huge fart in the middle of a live TV interview

The unwelcome fart. The bloody gatecrasher. The uninvited guest. Whatever you want to call it, there’s no secret that we’ve all fallen victim to – or even unleashed – a poorly timed fart. For what it’s worth, we don’t reckon there’s any shame in bodily functions. Yeah, nah, they’re part and parcel of being human and if you’ve gotta blast some arse, sound thunder down under, or squeeze off a sphincter serenade, we reckon you should go for it. Apparently, US politician Eric Swalwell also reckons you should let ‘em rip loud and proud.

So, if you don’t know who Eric Swalwell is, it doesn’t really matter. We’re not here to talk politics and you can look that s**t up on your own watch. What we want to talk about is something far more serious. We want to know if the dude ripped some Velcro in a live interview, or whether it’s all a stitch-up.

So, all you really need to do is check out the interview. A short while in, the camera zooms into a full screen image of Swalwell and he appears to lean forward and possibly smile a little as someone sounds the methane mating call.

Understandably, there’s some debate. The fart does sound a little loud and ‘perfect’, so some are saying it’s all a load of hot air. However, #fartgate is trending and the world wants answers.

One bloke on Twitter, though, already reckons he has it figured out:

“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.”

Hardball, the show Swalwell was appearing on at the time has claimed it was a mug. “Sorry to disappoint the conspiracy theorists – it was the #hardball mug scraping across the desk. Get yours today and let’s get back to the news!”

Final thought: This one’s pretty simple. Let us know whether you reckon Swalwell dropped his guts or whether it’s all a big con-job.

The remixes are startin’ to come out of the word work now too:

Last one… I swear.
