"The thing about all these Eric Swalwell revelations is that ALL of them were known for years. But the media worked with the Democrat establishment to keep them quiet as long as Swalwell was useful." Councilwoman Vickie Paladino

"When Democrats want to get rid of someone, they wheel out the women with sexual harassment allegations. Apparently, so many of them do it it's become part of a playbook for ridding the party of liabilities, often about other matters."

"It happened to Elliott Spitzer.

"It took down Andrew Cuomo.

"Now, it's Eric Swalwell's turn.

"According to the Daily Caller:

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.”

"Well, ahem. Seems a lot of this was already known, but the press and the political establishment covered for him. That enabled him to do it again and again, shielded not just by the press and the abundant non-disclosure agreements he forced complainants to sign, but by the entire Democrat power establishment, which kept all the secrets. The Daily Caller report said 'dozens.'

"How much were the taxpayers forced to shell out for the silence of these dozens in the lawsuits that inevitably followed? We know that Congress has been forced to shell out $18 million in claims of this nature. Did the cash come from Swalwell campaign funds or did the kind of money corporations pay for 'consulting' pay them off? And are Swalwell's financial problems a function of these payouts to all these female accusers? Was Swalwell the worst of them? Questions abound." . . .More...
