Are Dems railroading him for being a liability?


Sounds like the Al Franken story but much worse. Pelosi & Schiff have already pulled their endorsements for him, just on these claims.

Why did you bring up Pete? This thread is about your boy Eric. Pretty on brand for you


Pimp said women pine for Swalwell, implying women find him attractive. I brought up Pete because he’s handsome.

It wasn’t that deep.

They have to get him out of there to make sure the vote isn't split so badly that a Republican gets the first two slots.


Like I said previously, let’s say he continues and either creates the opportunity for 2 Republicans in the runoff or he fricks it up so much he is still number one or two against a Republican. Then the democrats will have to choose between a rapist or a Republican, or in that case if Swalwell drops out after the primary does the other candidate automatically win after Swalwell drops out.

Several members of Team Swalwell quit …..

San Francisco Chronicle: LINK

quote:

WASHINGTON DC – 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.

In September 2019, the woman said, Swalwell invited her out for drinks and she became so severely intoxicated that she does not remember the rest of the night. She said she woke up naked in Swalwell’s hotel bed and could feel the effect of vaginal intercourse.


quote:

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. “Today I learned shocking information about Eric Swalwell containing the ugliest and most serious accusations imaginable,” Gomez said in a statement. “My involvement in any campaign begins and ends with trust. I cannot in good conscience remain in any role with this campaign, and I am stepping down from it effective immediately.”

The fallout extended to prominent interest groups that had backed Swalwell. The California Medical Association, which has dropped more than $1 million into a pro-Swalwell committee, said it was convening an emergency board meeting. The California Teachers Association suspended its endorsement

Amazing to me that these women have waited this long to come forward. Its not like he isn't a nobody that is now running for Gov, he's been in the spotlight for years. Why now?

But sounds like he apologized to his wife, so something obviously took place and now there are other women coming out confirming he's a creep.

Can they ask Fang Fang her thoughts?

I'm trying to believe her. It would be easier if she would post a copy of the police reports from each rape. It would also be easier if she didn't return to making the beast with 2 backs with him, right after the rapes.

There is only one party who believes men should have due process as far as allegations and it’s isn’t democrats. Fortunately for Swalwell, democrats will give a pass for anyone who believes in their political ideology.

What would due process look like if charges aren’t pressed?

I.love how they're all "turning" on him like they didn't know the son of a bitch was a creep this whole time. Just like with Schiff and a ton of other Dems you can simply look at their face and bet your entire net worth they've committed some type of sexual crime

Thing was a political hit, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy since he himself has participated in this same charade against other.

JUST IN: Eric Swalwell's SENIOR STAFF from his Governor campaign and Congressional office just DENOUNCED him, another sign his career is finished

“The behavior detailed in these reports is abhorrent, beneath the dignity of those serving in public office and betrays the trust of all Californians."

“We’re horrified by the recent reporting in the San Francisco Chronicle and by CNN."

He should RESIGN before he's expelled from Congress!
