You have to admire how quickly the Democrat machine chewed up and spit out Swalwell

By all accounts, these allegations have been known for years but never released or written about. A few journalists even said as much on X the past few days

Swalwell was a threat to split the vote and allow an R to become Governor of Cali. He was probably told to drop out, but refused and was even gaining more of a lead.

In one day, he went from the Dem front runner to life ruined. Everyone had statements ready and condemned him in a mass coordinated effort. The left media attacked him for everything, including paying his illegal nanny with campaign funds. They also wrote sympathetic articles about his wife to really pile on about what a scumbag he is.

Notice how they all no longer wanted him to be Governor of Cali but did not call for his removal from Congress. That's because he is still useful to them there. They only wanted him out of the way of the Governor's race so an R didn't win. He probably had the most dirt to expose out of everyone running so he was the scapegoat.

The Rs could never operate so efficiently, attacking their own in order to ensure a D Governor doesn't take over one of their strongholds

Easy to do when your entire ideology is a machine that requires complete obedience and thinking in lock-step with the approved narrative.

You laugh but the R's just throw in each other under the bus to get in their own way and never accomplish anything

The D's throw each other to the wolves to make sure their agenda is a priority

Pragmatic choice. The Dems are like the Jihadists, both will sacrifice their own children for the sake of their Cause.

Also don't forget this perpetually-relevant quote:

quote:

Modern journalism is all about deciding which facts the public shouldn't know because they might reflect badly on Democrats.


Swalwell's proclivity to harass and molest women has been known since at least 2013, but of course the media and democrats (but I repeat myself there) kept any of this making it to the public eye. Until it was needed.

That’s the thing, we really don’t.

The media not going scorched earth to call out their bullshite is depressing. This mfer should have got got a long time ago and NOBODY in America would have even blinked. But now when it serves them he’s gone. They’ll somehow get good press for it.

Democrats thinking they’re part of some resistant are the dumbest fricking people I’ve ever seen.

This is the same machine that’s been trying to bring down Trump for years.

I agree with what you are saying

The MSM is a Dem propaganda machine and does their bidding but that is crumbling. CBS is back to reporting news now that the Ellison family owns it and of course, Elon buying X was huge

R's could have done more a long time ago to kick Swalwell out of Congress, so blame them too. They knew about these allegations, too, but the Fang Fang situation alone was more than enough for action and they did nothing.

When they eat their own, just like they did Crockett in Texas.

Two republicans are leading and after primaries the top two move on (republican or democrat) so they had to nuke swallaswell.

You can bet 100% they’ve known all this stuff for years but used it as a power move

Rank and file Democrats have no idea the darkness that is their party- or the kind of people and ideas they empower. They are convinced they are the good guys in a morality play and that’s enough for them.

This was a hit using the patented Nancy Pelosi “wrap up smear” tactic …. textbook operation

If you'd told me this would be the case ten years ago I never would have believed it. This might be the most astonishing thing to come out of the Trump era.

It requires a sycophant media corps. R's won't ever have that.
