Criticism of Swalwell has circulated in Washington for years, according to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who spoke on ABC's "This Week."

"Every member in Congress knows not to let any young staffer around Swalwell or Matt Gaetz, it's not a secret there," McCarthy said.

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown said the allegations were not unexpected, citing longstanding talk among Democratic leaders.

"No, I'm not surprised frankly because there have been rumors after rumors after rumors, his colleague in Washington pretty much said that. That's what Adam Schiff said, that's what Nancy Pelosi said," Brown said.

Kevin just thought this would be a clever backhanded way to slam Gaetz.

He just makes himself look like a complete chickenshit enabler instead.

Willie Brown pretending he cares about sexual assault made me laugh out loud.

These people are truly scum. Kevin McCarthy included.

And yet the "closed" society kept it quiet. They ALL think they're privileged and better than us.

So the #metoo campaign was nothing more than an empty performative charade led by Hollywood and the democrats? I don’t feel so good, progressive bros…

McCarthy is such a loser. He is everything that is wrong with the Republican party.
