Eric Swalwell is an obnoxious, repulsive safe-seat Democrat congressperson from California. He also is the leading Democrat candidate to replace termed-out Governor Gavin Newsom as the state’s Governor.
But Swalwell has a problem. Maybe a major problem. Maybe a huge problem that has the potential to take down not just his gubernatorial ambitions but his political career.
I’m not talking about his involvement with the Chinese spy “Fang Fang” from years ago which, disastrous as it would have been for any Republican politician, was largely swept under the rug by our wonderful “neutral” media.
No, there’s something else. And, from the way it reads, it could be a game-changer.
From Anthony Iafrate’s article at dailycaller.com:
A Democratic activist says she is working with multiple women preparing to come forward with sexual harassment allegations against California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell.
Cheyenne Hunt — a lawyer, one-time congressional candidate and executive director of Gen-Z for Change — revealed that she has been working with an unspecified number of women set to accuse Swalwell in multiple X posts early Monday morning. Swalwell is currently a leading candidate in the crowded race to succeed Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“I got involved because the first victim who approached me is a close friend, but when I saw that there were others who’s experiences fit the same pattern of manipulation and abuse of power, I knew I couldn’t stay silent,” Hunt wrote in her X thread. She specified that the allegations concern “DMs [direct messages] and Snapchat messages” and range “from uncomfortable comments to potentially criminal conduct.”
The Gen Z activist also claimed that Swalwell was targeting “employees, interns, and fans” and acted “as a mentor just to exploit that power.”
Hooboy.
Do yourself a favor and read the link provided in the above excerpt (here it is again), to get a more complete feel for what Swalwell is being accused of. Then also read some of the comments of his supporters, which are just as vile and obnoxious as you might expect from people who would support someone like him.
Oh, and in case you doubt Cheyenne Hunt’s “Democratic activist” credentials, be advised that she was a law and policy clerk for Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), and worked on Donald Trump’s first impeachment.
If, in fact, Ms. Hunt can produce multiple women who credibly (that’s the key word here: credibly) accuse Swalwell of this behavior, his governor hopes, not to mention his political career, could go right down the tubes.
Stay tuned…
