California gubernatorial candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell's, D-Calif., campaign broke their silence on allegations circulated by Cheyenne Hunt, a former Capitol Hill staffer and a political media personality, fiercely denying any sexual misconduct towards former staffers or interns.
"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," Micah Beasley, a spokesperson for Swalwell, told the New York Post.
Hunt, who now runs a youth political engagement group called Gen-Z for Change, a left-leaning group, began highlighting accusations that Swalwell had a practice of making sexual advances with women on his staff last week.
"The Democratic candidate currently leading in the California governor’s race has a known history of being predatory towards women," Hunt claimed in a post to social media.
Hunt showed the image of a message sent to her through a private message.
"You know, Eric Swalwell has slept with many of his interns and makes them all sign [non-disclosure agreements] so they don’t speak up, right? And when I was 19, he tried hitting on me and sliding into my DMs," the quote read.
Since posting her original video detailing Swalwell’s alleged advances, Hunt said she has been contacted by a number of other women sharing similar experiences.
"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 said.

I know swallowwell is a creep but I never knew that he slid into a woman’s DMs.
I look at Swallwell and I see a dope.
Diesel Motor? Dirty Muff?
“On another thread, it was pointed out that commie Eric hasn’t said a thing yet.
He is to busy cutting his wife checks from his campaign funds for baby sitting their own kids.
Direct Messages, grandpa.
Don’t Mentions (DMs)
Did mom ever deliver the meatloaf you were screaming about?
Sure. But the meatloaf. Was it delivered?
Why did the name change to DM though? It used to be PM (private messages) during AOL, Yahoo messenger, MSN etc.
Always believe democrat women accusers, always.....
(And someone named Madman really shouldn’t be calling someone else full-crazed. Ya feel me?)
If Swalwell could survive discovery, he would have sued her by now. There’s a reason he hasn’t.
What about Fang Fang? I thought that “relationship” was real.
Grandma here. I didn’t know what DM meant, either.
“I look at Swallwell and I see a dope.”
And if you were near him you could smell him, too. pee-ew!
I’m amazed that totally repulsive loser goobers like him often have no self awareness and think that women would be receptive to their come-ons. Gross.
He probably thought that Fang Fang was attracted to his studliness, when she was attracted only to his classified information.
They’re like people who learned a few guitar chords last year, and really stink. But they move to Nashville to become a star. No self awareness.
If Gloria Allred takes the cases, you’ll know it is the end...
