Rep. Eric Swalwell, a former Democratic frontrunner in the California gubernatorial race, resigned from Congress on Monday amid sexual misconduct allegations.
Swalwell announced his resignation in a statement posted to his X account, while still denying some of the allegations made against him in recent days.
"I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make," Swalwell said in the statement.

It looks like the reactionary propagandists on here who have been screeching about Swalwell not resigning, and the Democrats supposedly wanting him to stay in Congress, are going to have to find something else to spew their bile about.
Weird, there just doesn't seem that Repubs want to investigate, or force out one of their own, on their own. It always takes a certain amount of public outcry for the ones who run on Christian values.
But since now, Trump has declared himself Christ, they have adopted a new set of values...?

Si Gonzales, as he has the blood from a dead woman he harassed on his hands. How long did it take for Santos to finally be forced out ?
How the FCK is Trump still in office???
Better yet, for all these supporters of women, how the HELL did he ever get elected...?????
Works for me. That wasn’t so hard. Took what? 3 days?
Meanwhile Republicans have been supporting someone who admits to sexual assault, has been found liable for it in court, and was friends with the most notorious sex trafficker in memory. And they are totally fine with him remaining in power. Hypocrites!
apparently swalwell was short by a dozen or more accusers to claim it was a hoax, witch hunt, or fake news ...
looks like democrats now have an acceptable nominee for republicans as the next secretary of defense in 2029 ...
Er', did you mean . . . "an acceptable nominee for republicans as the next secretary of WAR in 2029? I think you did. Unless, name change time once more!
