Thanks to Cynical Publius for laying out what is really going on here. It’s Democrats who are throwing their buddy under the bus in order to improve their chances of winning the California governor’s race. Because they already knew that Swalwell was a scumbag, but they don’t really care about that. He’s also stupid, and never kept it a secret that he’s a serial adulterer. The rape charges are just the cherry on top.
The important thing is that he is vulnerable, and expendable. Within minutes of the story appearing, Pelosi and Schiff immediately withdrew their support.
TEXT:
So a bunch of women have come forward accusing Democrat Congressman (and candidate for the governor of California) Eric Swalwell of gross sexual impropriety and even sexual assault. It’s worth understanding what is really going on here.
While it is easy and fun to mock the seeming demise of one of the worst, most untruthful, greasiest, most compromised, most obnoxious leftist politicians ever to leave a slime trail up the stairs into the main hall of Congress, I think we should stop for just a moment and consider that it is actually possible that Eric Swalwell might be innocent of the worst sexual assault allegations suddenly emerging against him.
