California governor candidate Eric Swalwell has broken his silence about online rumors that have swirled for days alleging inappropriate contact with female staffers.
The East Bay congressman and Democratic frontrunner in the governor’s race slammed the allegations as a fake rumor designed to derail his candidacy weeks before voting begins in the June 2 primary election.
“This false, outrageous rumor is being spread 27 days before an election begins by flailing opponents who have sadly teamed up with MAGA conspiracy theorists because they know Eric Swalwell is the frontrunner in this race,” said Micah Beasley, Swalwell spokesperson, in a statement.
The unverified rumor of inappropriate conduct was circulated by Cheyenne Hunt, a Democratic Gen Z activist and former congressional candidate.
In a series of videos posted to TikTok, Hunt claimed she was working with a group of women who had experienced misconduct by Swalwell, alluding to a press report that she said could publish soon.
“I am personally working with a group of women who want to come forward and share their stories. I am also aware of a much larger group that is also in this process that I am not personally working with,” Hunt claimed in a video posted this month.

Right now, the two at the top are both GOP. If that plays out to the end, CA will have a Republican governor. CA voting Code is different from most other states’.
The denial stage... Right on schedule and we love it.
Can you name even one California democrat that doesn't fit that description to a tee? I'm not sticking up for Eric Shartypants, not at all, you nailed it. It's just that they're ALL exactly like that here these days. Every last one of them.
You should not insult Commies by
mixing them up with Democrats!
Commies have ethics. Democrats have
only the party line at that time.
