Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-Calif.) campaign for California governor lost two co-chairs and key endorsements on Friday after the San Francisco Chronicle reported on allegations that he sexually assaulted a former staffer.
The Chronicle reported that a woman who previously worked for Swalwell alleged that he sexually assaulted her twice when she was too intoxicated to consent. The Hill has not independently verified these claims. Swalwell denied the allegations in a statement to the outlet.
“These allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor,” Swalwell told the Chronicle. The Hill has reached out to his campaign for additional comment.
In the wake of the reporting, Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) resigned as co-chair of Swalwell’s campaign and called on the congressman to “leave the race now so there can be full accountability without doubt, distraction or delay.” The other campaign co-chair, Rep. Adam Gray (D-Calif.), wrote on the social platform X that he is withdrawing his support of Swalwell and urged the gubernatorial candidate to end his campaign.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who also endorsed his former House colleague, in a statement on X said he was “deeply distressed” about the allegations, adding “I am withdrawing my endorsement immediately, and believe that he should withdraw from the race.”

I love to see a lying putz squirm.
Lock him up.
He should at least get the Caesar Chavez treatment.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy ...
LOL. Nothing he did phased the left until he threatened their death grip on the California governorship.
Then, amazingly, they care deeply. And their captive media cares deeply.
Topsy turvy story in the topsy turvy world of Big Religion.
Friend dragged me to some famous “evangelist’s” huge stadium religious service. We got there early. Just in time to hear the head “Pastor” laughing about those idiots who fell on the floor when he looked at them.
Coincidentally, his clifftop house lost a few rooms a few years later when a huge storm hit SoCal. Fell into the ocean.
True, but also why didn’t these women come out previously? WHy do women always wait until a campaign to come out?
I mean I love watching him get exposed, but it’s kind of BS that they don’t come forward sooner...like when he’s a congresscritter attacking Trump.
Excellent
The Godless Reprobate LGBTQ+ Democrats
should lose at every turn
(when a huge storm hit SoCal. Fell into the ocean.)
Guess I’m going back to Annandale
His support’s gotta go to the candidates of color-dig?
Or the King treatment ……
Oh, wait
He’s toast. It’s not just one woman but a handful. All his endorsements were withdrawn and the money spigot will disappear. Typical Dem hit job just before the ballots go out.
I can only pray that awful Katie Porter does not jump in the polls. She is the worst.
Democrats starting to consolidate, likely around Tom Steyer.
Unfortunately this came too soon. If this hit 4 weeks from now with early votes locked in....
Fang Fang is jealous.
I think that is a very well reasoned and sound conclusion.
Swallwell is unelectable. Porter is a rambling wreck. Steyer has money and knows how to pretend he is not going to use the office to increase his wealth. He can also buy the support of democrat official in the state. Hopefully Swallwell has real dirt on Steyer and goes after him.....my guess is that someone has real dirt on Steyer.
The girl Swallwell was involved with wasn’t little Virgin Mary either...had she been smart she could have digitally recorded all of their interactions. She was the perfect example of a helpless woman, and a perfect target for Swallwell. But if all allegations are true Swallwell is a rapist and his career is burnt toast.
By the way, the womans boyfriend was told about this by the victim and all he said was “go to the police”...dips**t boyfriend.
Happened in NY, no doubt Tish James will find a way to charge Trump and she’s g0t judge and jury all lined up.
This makes me happy.
