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.

Oooh- once the headlines start saying you are denying something, you’re in big trouble. Wait ‘til the media refer to Swalwell as “embattled” - then you can stick a fork in him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins, California elections are like the ones here in New York as well as Massachussets are as legit as a plastic teapot
Any comment from Fang Fang, or whatever her name was?
Spokesperson. So he didn’t deny anything.
That non-denial denial speaks volumes...
Did he send them pics of his swalwell?
Nothing is is inappropriate if you are a Democrat. No crime to heinous, no proclivity to vile. They don’t believe they can be inappropriate because everything that they do is for the party.
Katie Porter if anyone
The ends always justifies the means with communists.
Where does the Believe Women movement stand on this?
“This false, outrageous rumor is being spread 27 days before an election begins by flailing opponents
Keep the prick on the defense. Give the the sonofabitch an ulcer.
The filth is a male Katie Porter.
Didn’t we read here about her dying in a plane crash in China a while back? Or was that debunked? It doesn”t seem to be something to jest light-heartedly about.
Eric Swalwell is the kind of candidate who would have been run out of town on a rail in an earlier age. But he has no sense of shame - and therefore no conscience!!! - that would make a normal, decent person drop out. For him, it is all about me, me, me. California, be warned.
Bill Clinton voice: “I did not..have...sexual relations with that woman, Fang Fang.”
Does he even live in Commiefornia?
The left is insane.
If sleeping with a ChiCom spy is no big deal then how can grabbing staffer’s asses be a problem?
