Monday's Swalwell report

" No, it wasn’t the beauty of our constitutional republic that killed the grubby, foul-smelling Swalwell’s campaign to run California.  It was the Democrat beast.  And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy...with a worse beard."  Pete McArdle

Dems take down one of their own   "How delicious — the sad, sudden end of Eric “The Flatulator” Swalwell’s political career.

"Why do I say “end”?  Because it was an inside job.

"Behind closed doors, Democrat power brokers, for whatever reasons, made the decision to terminate Rep. Swalwell’s bid for governor of California.  And the same old plot that’s used, mainly against Republicans, got called into action, this time against a disfavored Democrat.

"It starts with allegations from the past of rape and sexual harassment, beginning with the most lurid, served with a side of “believe all women.”  Then more victims suddenly come forward.  Strength in numbers.

"Here’s where you know the call came from inside the house.  Normally a Democrat candidate for high office gets his posterior both bussed and protected by the mendacious left-wing media.  Traditionally, the media would have given these sex crime allegations a good leaving alone, as they typically do, say, with the murder of an American woman committed by an unvetted illegal.

"But in Rep. Swalwell’s case, they did not.  Not only was the story widely covered by the normally incurious media, but it was also presented using eerily similar language, as if writers, radio commentators, and TV talking heads were all working from the same script.

"How do they do that?  I don’t know!

"They used the same words, the same lame asides, and all parroted the same fateful conclusion: Swalwell must drop out of the California gubernatorial race."

Over 50 Former Eric Swalwell Staffers Call for His Resignation  

. . . "After calling for a full investigation into the matter, the former staffers ultimately concluded that Swalwell should not only drop from the California governor race but also resign from Congress." . . . 

Report: Billionaire Kicks Swalwell Out of Mansion, Wants $1M in Donations Back Following Rape Allegations  "Stephen Cloobeck, the billionaire and former California governor hopeful who dropped out of the race to fund disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-CA) gubernatorial campaign, has kicked the congressman out of his mansion and reportedly wants his $1 million in donations back after multiple women accused him of sexual assault and misconduct." . . .  

The Morning Briefing: Eric Swalwell's Gubernatorial Bid Gets Hit By the #MeToo Train  

"Few politicians in my lifetime have oozed more sleaze than Eric Swalwell, so none of this is surprising. His fall from grace comes with extra helpings of schadenfreude because Swalwell is also a persistent, combative, and smug presence on social media." 

What's Happening in CA's Gubernatorial Race Perfectly Captures the State's Politics  . . . "Getting Swalwell completely out of politics seems like it would be overwhelmingly positive for the United States of America, but these are the 21st-century Democrats we're talking about here. As I have written on many occasions, the Democrats always have someone worse waiting in the wings. In this case, someone much, much worse. My Twitchy colleague Warren Squire writes that former Vice President Kamala Harris may be jumping into the governor's race in California now that Swalwell is out."  . . .
