A former staffer of Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading Democratic candidate for California governor, says that the congressman raped her when she was heavily intoxicated, an allegation Swalwell strongly denies.
He was my representative until i recently moved. I’ve met him twice at coffee shops in Fremont just by chance.
He always seemed friendly and normal, if maybe a bit performative. The guy he originally replaced was a very old-guard corporatist Democrat, so i initially had high hopes for Swallwell.
I’m pretty shocked by this. Now the man is going to double down and further embarrass these women and his family by continuing to run and staying in office.
It will be easy to find a better rep for the district than Swallwell. That part of the Bay Area has more progressives and socialists than liberals, and the libertarian Republicans still outnumber the MAGAs
