Eric Swalwell rape allegations are only the tip of this Democrat-media scandal
NY Post ^ | 4/13/26 | Post Editorial Board

Posted on 04/13/2026 5:06:48 PM PDT by Libloather

Rep. Eric Swalwell finally quit Congress on Monday amid accusations of rape and sexual abuses, but the larger scandal is how long he got away with it.

Fellow Democrats kept mum for years, though his sleazy behavior toward women has reportedly been long known; nor did the left-leaning media in California or Washington investigate the rumors — even after he notoriously fell for a Chinese “honeypot” agent.

Dems plainly only turned on Swalwell in a bid to thin the field in California’s governor race, where two Republicans now lead the nonpartisan “jungle” primary and so might lock out the donkeys in the November runoff.

Swalwell denied the allegations but suspended his campaign Sunday and left Congress a day later, yet the accusations involve events that go back years.

And if his slimy conduct was an open secret, why didn’t Dems — champions of the #MeToo movement — step up sooner?

They said bupkis as Swalwell ran for Congress seven times.

They let him play a key role in the Trump impeachment probes.

They went radio silent when he got caught as the target of a Chinese-spy honeypot.

Nor did they voice any qualms even when he ran president in 2019.

Back then, of course, he was a reliable, Trump-hating partisan Democrat.

Then eight Democrats wound up in a scrum of a gov’s race — not only opening the door to a Republican-vs.-Republican general election, but also embarrassing the state’s diversity-obsessed elites because the top candidates were all . . . white.

USC-KABC debate actually got canceled at the last minute because no minority candidate made the minimum-polling cutoff: the horror!

Dem biased media propagandists pretended they didn’t see Biden’s dementia. Lied. Covered up.

Then the opportunist Jake Tapper pretended to discover it in time for a book deal.

Another scandal in the Swalwell case now.

Now they claim “everyone in the media, everyone around Congress, everyone in politics knew to keep vulnerable women away from the lecherous sex fiend Swalwell. But never said a word to the lowly American people.

No he didn’t.

He said he plans to resign.

That is a *very* different, vague thing.

They knew that he screwed Fang Fang and gave her top secret classified intel which she turned over to Xi..and that intel involves military bases overseas..its ALL IN THE FILES the files that Swalwell does NOT want released, and the Dems knew, EVERYONE knew, but they protected him since he was one of their own, but now since it looked like two Republicans could become Governor of this commie state, they decided to throw out the dead perverted weight in order to ensure a Dem will win

Don’t forget that this foul wind blows both ways...two Republicans are on the chopping block and one just announced his resignation.

Not a surprise to anyone with a pulse that there’s not a damn bit of difference between R’s and Ds’...

Swalwell really pissed someone off in Dem party leadership and they’re showing what happens when a member refuses to fall into line.

His financial benefactor, the billionaire Diamond Resorts founder Stephen Cloobeck, has also cut ties with him. He kicked him out of his mansion that Swalwell had holed up in for the last week & wants his campaign donations back. He also quit the Demoncrat Party & says he’s now a libertarian. What a great Monday.

If you are a useful idiot to the Democrats, they are blind to anything you do. But when you outlive your usefulness, they will eat you alive and flush you down the toulet.

Swalwell has resigned from Congress. Luna says there is more to be disclosed and it’s bad. Swalwell can’t afford to testify in an ethics investigation because of serious criminal implications.

So by your logic, voting for either Trump or Harris would have been the same.

No.

The Dems needed Swalwell out of the California governor’s race because of the real possibility the 2 Republicans would finish 1-2 in the Calif. jungle primary.

I bet that the ONLY reason that Swalwell would resign from congress is to protect his LIFETIME PENSION. I assume being expelled from congress would forfit that cushy pension.

If GOP had ANY Balls or Brains they could refuse the resignation and expel Swalwell. Then again the GOP would Frack up the vote.
