What really happened to Swalwell
Just so our readers will know: Swalwell didn't exactly fall suddenly on April 10th, he was pushed.
You see boys and girls the reckless lifestyle of Eric Swalwell was widely known by democrats in California. He had a history of sexual aggression towards female staffers and a routine of getting them to sign non-disclosure agreements. That probably would have continued were it not for the situation in the California Jungle primary. You see back in 2010 California went to a system in which everybody running for a seat ran in a single primary regardless of political party. The top two finishers would proceed to the general election. It was designed to help democrats. Swalwell was first elected through this system. He was elected six times.
But this one was different. The democrats had 4 viable candidates with the vote fragmented among them giving the two Republicans the top spot. Thus, the general election could wind up being between two Republicans.
The main democrat contenders Swalwell and Karen Porter were both tarnished. Porter recently was exposed in a video for abusing her help. the democrat party needed to thin out their own field, and nobody was voluntarily leaving. The dems are known for their ruthlessness when it comes to winning elections. (example A was Biden). Evidently one of the top two had to go: either Swalwell or Porter.
Now we know the choice was Swalwell.
He understood it too. He resigned his seat in congress.

A pair of Republicans leading the jungle gubernatorial primary in California, led by Steve Hilton , now expect Swalwell's supporters to shift toward another Democrat in the race.
Eric Swalwell to resign from Congress as pressure mounts over misconduct claims | Live Updates from Fox News Digital
fait accompli for the democrats.
... another dozen or so allegations and he could have claimed it was a witch hunt and run for POTUS as a republican in 2028.
Right? It is so fucking hilarious to watch these dumb fuck rightwing conservative defenders of Trump and the two dozen sexual assault claims against him, the multiple times he cheated on his wife while she had a new baby, paid multiple porn stars nearly a quarter million in campaign money to keep them quiet, admitted to sexually assaulting women on tape "I don't even wait" "grab them by the pussy", been found liable aka RESPONSIBLE (it's as if these dumb fucks don't even know what liable means) for sexually assaulting E. Jean Carol, been accused of raping a 13-year-old along with his friend Jeff Epstein who he spent considerable time with and flew on Epstein's "Lolita Express" at least 8 times , and yet here they are screaming with righteous indignation about the allegations against Swalwell (which have yet to be proven true, just like many of the claims against Trump). It would be funny if it wasn't so fucking sad and demented.
Don't get me wrong, if Swalwell did what he was accused of then he should be held accountable just like I truly wish that piece of shit rapist in the oval office would be held accountable for all of his crimes. Sadly though, it seems there are some Americans who simply adore misogynistic pedophile rapists as long as they're conservatives and prove themselves MASSIVE hypocrites as they attack Swalwell for accusations of much less. It's all partisan politics with some shit eaters I guess.
big deal, not like he was fucking 13 year olds like Trump was.
It is a big deal. The fucking party that claims to be protecting democracy is anything but.
You think that the Ds pushing out Swalwell is ruining democracy?
How is it that you can watch Trump try to steal the 2020 election with fraud, coercion, lying, and incitement, and his various attempts (ongoing) to change districts, get voter registrations from states, impose restrictions on voting, etc. to try to preserve an R majority in the House and then claim that the Ds are ruining democracy?
The blindness of your posts is staggering ... especially since I do not believe you personally do not see all that Trump is doing. So what drives you to write such nonsense?
Absolutely. If they were moral, they would have done it long ago. Pelosi wouldn't have had him on the intelligence committee after he was caught dating a Chinese spy. They got rid of him now so that Karen Porter could win an election that was slipping to Republicans.
Never mind the Trump hating shit.
It is amazing that a Trump supporter would even think to criticize anyone for not acting on immorality.
Of course, pay no attention to the 800lb gorilla in the room shitting on the floor and breaking whatever he touches ... just focus on the mice who do not have R badges on. Pathetic blind partisan crap.
Just another deflection from the article.
How do you figure democracy has been impacted?
remind me how many of trump's EO's have been ruled unconstitutional, from the same jerk that swore an oath twice to preserve, protect, and defend it ...
That is a unique way to frame a question to get a desired response.
It is unquestionably desirable to be rid of Swalwell.
The reason was not to serve democracy, but to undermine it. Swalwell was the high priest of attacking Trump. The dems already got their use out of him. They needed to take one of their top two candidates down in order to win the California Governor's election. They took out Swalwell.
That is not serving democracy. It is dirty politics.
Every EO that a slime ball activist district judge got to rule on. Unlike when Obama was president. When he lost congress, I believe he said, "I've got a pen and I've got a phone."
And when Obama nominated all those radical judges that are resisting Trump today, Senate leader Harry Reid had to change the rules or none of them would have been approved to go anywhere near a black robe.
Trump really got to them.
IMO it is a sad existence if everything needs to go through a Trump filter.
Just restating it doesn’t explain how democracy is undermined. It’s not as if a vote of the people was sabotaged somehow. It’s not like people voted for him to be governor and their ballots were thrown out.
He turned out to be some kind of sexual predator and was exposed. It’s not dirty if he did it. And based on his reaction, it sure looks like he did.
No one made him quit running for governor. No one forced him to resign from Congress. He was still free to try and be governor or remain in Congress. The party/voters/country does not owe him unconditional support.
And by the way, you don’t owe Trump your unconditional support, either. Feel free to abandon that sexual predator any time. Today would be great.
When Democrats find a rat among them, they kick it the fuck out. When Republicans find a rat among them, they crown it King.
The HippoCrazy is just remarkable !
What will they do with Vance or Rubio?
It shouldn't have to be restated. Once should be enough to recognize what it is.
It’s not as if a vote of the people was sabotaged somehow.
Under the system democrats had set up, the people would have a choice between two Republicans. That was sabotaged.
All the dots are touching yet you fail to see, or do you?
It will be interesting. Trump Withdrawal Syndrome may be too difficult to shake. It seems many of them don't realize he can't run again.
You’re just begging the question. You should be able to explain the damage to democracy without demanding that we all assume it to be true.
No, it wasn’t. People are still free to vote for Republicans if they want to.
What you want is that a minority of people elect Republicans even though a majority of people will vote Democrat. You are hoping to game the system, so don’t come crying about democracy. You don’t care about that. You just want Republicans to win and you don’t care how it happens.
Spot on. And the Republicans who win do not matter, as evidenced by the continuing support for Trump.
What I want is for the democrats to not undemocratically undermine the very system they created. This is the type of primary they wanted.
Btw there is another question to be answered in all of this. These women all suddenly went public now, during the jungle primary. Did anyone from the democrat party "encourage" them?
Was Nancy Pelosi who had asked Swalwell to quit the race, being honest when she said she didn't already know about Swalwell's abuse of his staffers?
You just want Republicans to win and you don’t care how it happens.
I'd say that comment is the epitome of projection.
No projection. The comment comes as democrats play dirty to win an election.
You consider it dirty for Ds to encourage candidates to drop out because they are splitting the field yet you defend Trump's attempts to acquire state election data, redistrict mid-census to gain R seats, and impose unnecessary voter registration requirements to dissuade more D than R voters.
You exaggerate a rational move by a party and deem it dirty while ignoring every wrong/illegal move that Trump makes.
Democrats haven’t undermined anything. Nobody forced Swalwell to quit the governor’s race. He did that all by himself.
I have questions about this, too. But even if they were encouraged to speak up, so what? If it’s true, Swalwell shouldn’t be in government. I hope we can all agree on that. If it’s not true, why is he quitting?
It has gone beyond democrats "encouraging" candidates to drop out, hasn't it. Somebody got those women to finally come forward after all this time.
As for the President wanting to see voter rolls from a state like California, I think that would be long overdue. I for one would love to know who votes for a mayor that goes to Uganda during forest fire season and who has an assistant that winds up arrested for making bomb threats, or a governor who admits that the billion dollar high speed rail boondoggle was just that.
The same as those who vote for a senator who absconds to Mexico during a winter power outage?
...he is having fun playing with his captive party and all they can do is shrug as the Rat King they elected fucks over the entire country, raises prices on everything, starts unnecessary wars, and has his Gestapo shooting Americans in the street. Congo rats on "winning" Republicans. /s
More conspiracy theory.
Of course some human being was driving the effort to encourage these women to come forward. That will always be the case. That does not mean this is some nefarious plot by the Ds. And even if this was done by political operatives, this is not uncommon and pales in comparison to the crap Trump routinely pulls.
As noted, your comments exaggerate even a hint of foul play by Ds while ignoring/deflecting/misrepresenting/supporting (pathetic) the comparatively outrageous wrongdoing of Trump.
Swalwell is showing considerable consciousness of guilt. While that shows he is guilty it also means he's not a psychopath like Trump is.
He knows the meaning of why his world came to an end on April 10th. He is a member of a revolutionary political party that only cares about winning.
Whereas republicans are members of a reactionary political party that only cares about whining.
Correction: the MAGA movement is a counterrevolutionary movement and it cares about defeating the radical left.
Correction: The MAGA "movement" is a radical reactionary ideology dedicated to ending American democracy and imposing authoritarian rule.
Addendum: with hatred and cruelty for all who do not agree.
The Vichy Regime was counterrevolutionary.
Absolutely.
The cult of liberalism/climate change is a scourge to this country.

Yeah, that is all it cares about. Defeat the inflated negative perception labeled ‘the left’ no matter what the cost.
On and on …. and this damage to our nation and to the global economy is just fine with you as long as Trump continues to attack your fanticized boogeyman.
Despicable!
Nobody believes that because you are using words incorrectly and have made inaccurate summations. Socialism is not necessarily authoritarian and is not the same as Communism. The words are not interchangeable. In fact there are thousands of fine examples of successful socialist systems and structures worldwide. In addition to nations like Sweden and Denmark there are also thousands of successful cooperative employee owned businesses along with farmer's cooperatives and rural electrical cooperatives, cooperative apartment buildings and hospitals.
That have some of the highest taxes in the world so that everyone gets "free" stuff like healthcare.
You know, the places that make you wait months, if not years, for an appointment to see a doctor
Add Canada to that list.
There has never been a truly successful and affordable socialist country
The citizens of the Nordics in general and others like Switzerland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia seem content with their social democracies.
Inflated? Have you heard Piker lately? Over 5 million followers
Yes, absurdly so.

You may have had to hold your nose with Swalwell, but with Porter you have to cover your eyes & ears.
Republicans: pay no attention to the fact that we have been supporting a notorious and admitted sexual assaulter and adulterer for over a decade. Instead, chew on this conspiracy theory with zero evidence that we just pulled out of our asses.
Sick.
I hope there's some volunteers to reply "has he been convicted yet?" in every maga article this is mentioned in from now on ...
Are you referring once again to the case that the state of New York changed the state law for the statute of limitations for this one and only case?
Well Tacos, when a blue state like New York does dirty things, people lose their trust in state government and they are likely to embraces conspiracy theories.
No. I am referring to the well known sexually deviant actions of your Lord and Savior Dr Donald Trump Christ.
Can’t wait to watch all the democrats who demanded the release of Epstein files demand swalwells texts and emails be made public. I’m sure senator Reuben Gallego will be first in line.
I think it should happen in court, and yes, lets get to the bottom of the Swalwell accusations. Lets see what he did.
Now, WHY can't you believe that the pedo protector, likely pedo himself who caresonly bout power and wealth, testify in front of the country about what is IN THE EPSTEIN FILES !!!?
While Democrats disown creeps within their ranks like Cuomo and Swalwell the gop defends and embraces monsters on their side...
