Former Staffer Says Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell, Candidate for California Governor, Sexually Assaulted Her

Politico.com:

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s campaign for governor was reeling Friday after an ex-staffer accused him of sexual assault, with multiple staffers resigning and both a prominent ally and rival candidates calling on the California Democrat to exit the race. 

The exodus, which began just before the San Francisco Chronicle published a report detailing a former staffer’s claims, jolted California’s marquee race just weeks before ballots start landing in voters’ mailboxes. The former staffer told the newspaper that Swalwell had sexual encounters with her while working for him, and that he sexually assaulted her twice when she was too drunk to consent.

Top staffers departed the campaign shortly before the story published. Soon after, Rep. Jimmy Gomez said in a statement that he was stepping down from the campaign and urged Swalwell to leave the race — a stunning rebuke from a key surrogate who had helped introduce Swalwell to power players in Sacramento, where Gomez served in the state Assembly.

Put aside the hundreds of times Swalwell and his smug ass has gone on TV to personally attack and smear Donald Trump over the years, it's what he tried to do to Justice Brett Kavanaigh, when he was going through his confirmation process, that should really have conservatives thungry for a takedown here. Indeed, during Kavanaugh's 2018 Supreme Court confirmation, Swalwell strongly advocated for investigating sexual assault allegations without any evidence, stating that mounting claims suggested a pattern of guilt. He even argued that if Kavanaugh were innocent, he should welcome a full investigation, while also noting that multiple accusations made it statistically improbable for the nominee to be innocent. Well if that's the case, Swalwell by his own terms must not only drop out of the Governor's race, but he should also resign from Congress.

California Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell’s Finances Show Cash Crunch, Delayed Taxes and Large Child Care Tab

TheSacramentoBee.com:

Rep. Eric Swalwell and his wife consistently brought in an income in the top 5% of Washington, D.C., households from 2021 to 2024 but made cash-raising moves anyway: drawing down retirement accounts, delaying federal tax payments and spending heavily on child care through campaign funds, according to tax returns and campaign finance filings. 

 

The returns show Swalwell, one of several leading candidates for California governor, and his wife, Brittany Swalwell, took home an average income of more than $444,000 during the period. That income would place them among the top 5% of households in Washington, D.C., where the couple owns a $1.2 million home; Swalwell also rents a room in a Livermore house owned by another family, The Sacramento Bee reported last month. 

 

A portion of that income came from the nearly $145,000 the couple withdrew from their retirement accounts from 2020 to 2022. Eric Swalwell also zeroed out withholdings on his congressional salary in 2023 and withheld just $2,580 the year before, effectively delaying payment of his federal taxes in a move that incurred penalties.

Eric Swalwell is a smug, hypocritical, narcissitic pos, who barely shows up for work, but gets love from the MSM because he loves to attack Trump on a daily basis. Now years after doing nothing as Congressman in California, he wants to be governor of a state him and his fellow Democrat pols have turned into an utter mess. Indeed, Swalwell is such an a-hole that given a chance the other day to hold Gavin Newsom accountable for at least some of the problmes going on in Cali...he passed. But now Swalwell has the FBI going after him and he's big mad about it, so much so that he's making ridiculous threats ti sue the FBI...oh my how the tables have turned.
